Owning CATI: Uses, Wallets and Risks

CATI is the token associated with Catizen, a cat-themed game and social entertainment project built around Telegram and the TON blockchain. The project describes a broader ecosystem that includes games and other Web3 activities. CATI is presented as a utility and governance token, but the exact rights or decisions available to holders can depend on the project’s current rules.

If you play Catizen, CATI may be relevant to the project’s game and community features. That does not make it a guaranteed source of earnings: rewards, in-game uses and access can change, and token value can rise or fall. Treat any play-to-earn claim as uncertain rather than income you can rely on.

Before connecting a wallet or spending CATI, check the current Catizen app or official project announcements for the feature’s terms. Confirm whether an action is an on-chain transaction, what it costs, and whether it can be reversed. Holding CATI alone does not necessarily grant a particular game benefit or voting power.

CATI is issued on TON; it is not listed as a native token of TON or another chain. To hold it yourself, use a wallet that supports tokens on TON and can recognize the specific CATI asset. Wallets may display tokens with similar names, so verify the token’s identity through trusted Catizen channels before receiving or sending funds.

A custodial exchange may also support CATI, but the exchange holds the assets for you and may restrict withdrawals or require identity checks. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, select TON as the network and confirm that the receiving wallet supports CATI on TON. Sending tokens over an unsupported network or to the wrong address can result in permanent loss.

TON network transactions generally require TON to pay network fees, so keep a small amount of TON available if you plan to move CATI. Check fees and withdrawal availability in your wallet or exchange before you transact; they can vary.

CATI has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. As of 2026-11-08, about 669.3 million were circulating, with total supply at 1 billion. The difference between circulating and maximum supply matters: tokens not yet circulating may enter circulation under the project’s allocation or release plans and can affect the balance of supply and demand.

Supply figures are not a measure of what CATI is worth, and they can change as tokens are released or otherwise moved into circulation. If you are making a decision based on supply, check the current circulating figure and the project’s published token distribution or unlock schedule. Do not assume that the maximum supply means every token is already available to trade.

Market prices and trading activity also move. For context, CATI’s reported market value was about $25.7 million as of 2026-11-08, but that figure is time-sensitive and is not a guarantee of liquidity or future value.

For self-custody, store CATI in a TON-compatible wallet and protect the recovery phrase offline. Never share that phrase or a private key with anyone, including someone claiming to provide Catizen support. A legitimate wallet recovery process should not require you to reveal it to another person. Consider a hardware wallet only if it supports the relevant TON assets and you understand how to use it.

Before approving a transaction, check the destination, network and amount. Be cautious with unsolicited Telegram messages, fake game bots, airdrop claims and websites or apps asking you to connect your wallet. A wallet connection or token approval can expose funds if you authorize a malicious action.

CATI also carries market and project risks: its price may be volatile, game features and demand may change, and problems affecting TON, Telegram access or Catizen could reduce usability. Transactions sent to the wrong address are generally difficult or impossible to reverse. Only hold an amount you can afford to lose, and keep your security measures separate from your game account.
