Breaking Ecological Boundaries, Catizen Leads a New Era of Telegram Mini Games

In the field of blockchain games, an interesting game can quickly attract players and achieve short-term success, but to achieve long-term development, a solid technical foundation is key. Although on-chain games and engines are still in the early stages, the gaming sector within the Telegram and TON ecosystem has attracted widespread attention due to its large user base and traffic. In particular, The Open League (TOL) launched by the TON Foundation has provided many excellent projects with opportunities to showcase themselves, with Catizen winning first place for three consecutive sessions, standing out due to its strong technical capabilities.

The Most Popular Cat Chain Game in the Ton Ecosystem

Catizen is a Web3.0 social entertainment platform on Telegram, dedicated to creating a decentralized consumption application that integrates mini-games, short dramas, and e-commerce. Its core is a cat game built on the TON ecosystem, combining metaverse, GameFi, and AI technology, and introducing an innovative Play2Airdrop model, where players can earn future airdrops while playing.

Since the beta version went live on March 19, 2024, the number of Catizen players has exceeded 22.5 million, with on-chain users nearing 1.3 million, daily active users peaking at 3.5 million, and the number of paying users reaching 500,000. The latest data shows that the total number of on-chain users for Catizen has surpassed 1.25 million, and it has ranked first in the TON Open League for three consecutive seasons.

Undoubtedly, Catizen has become one of the most popular blockchain game projects in the Telegram x TON ecosystem.

Exclusive Game Engine and SDK Establishing Technical Foundation

The success of Catizen is no coincidence. Unlike other competing blockchain games that invest heavily in advertising, Catizen's growth primarily relies on its solid technological infrastructure:

1. Catizen Exclusive Game Engine

Compared to competitors that rely on third-party game engines, Catizen has built the Catizen Game Engine specifically designed for Telegram mini-programs. This engine supports three unique features: high-performance millisecond-level multithreading loading, data tracking, and globally distributed loading technology.

• High-performance millisecond-level multi-threaded loading utilizes multi-thread asynchronous loading to enhance game performance, speed up game startup, and ensure smooth scene transitions.
• The data tracking platform comes with built-in real-time data analysis, featuring multi-dimensional data mining and machine learning capabilities, optimizing game content, and improving user retention and payment conversion rates.
• Integration of global distributed loading technology with global content delivery networks, utilizing smart edge computing and regional caching to ensure fast resource allocation and low-latency downloads.

Catizen's game engine design focuses on lightweight performance, allowing games to run smoothly on devices with varying capabilities, especially excelling on mobile devices. It supports multiple operating systems and devices, enabling players to seamlessly switch their game progress across different devices via Telegram.

2. The SDK lays the foundation for building the Catizen ecosystem.

The Catizen software development kit provides one-stop service, allowing H5 game developers to achieve one-click publishing on Telegram in three simple steps: create H5 mini-games, connect the Catizen SDK and game engine, and publish in the Catizen game center.

The Catizen team has rich experience in the Web2 mini-program game field, and has thrived after entering the Telegram Web3 gaming track. It is reported that the team has signed contracts with 18 popular WeChat mini-games and will leverage its experience in blockchain transformation and deployment in the TON ecosystem to launch more games on the Catizen platform.

Catizen SDK supports various operating systems and devices, and its simple yet powerful API allows developers to efficiently implement various game features. Professional technical support helps developers quickly resolve issues and improve development efficiency.

3. Strong technological barriers aid market competition

At this stage, there are about 300 TON chain projects on Telegram, most of which have built mini-programs on Telegram. However, most of the ecological mini-games on Telegram still retain "traditional" technical characteristics, such as being developed using the Telegram Bot API and supporting H5 interactive experiences, resulting in poor ecological scalability.

In contrast, Catizen relies on the Telegram ecosystem, but does not depend entirely on it. Through a dedicated game engine and SDK, Catizen has built a technological barrier and created a more complete and sustainable all-ecosystem game.

Catizen's multithreaded asynchronous loading technology stands out in the Telegram gaming ecosystem, effectively addressing the experience issues caused by a large number of players being online simultaneously. The Content Delivery Network (CDN) provides players with a smoother and more stable gaming environment by caching game content to the nearest server through a global server network, significantly reducing latency and improving loading speed.

With deep integration of Telegram features, Catizen provides a seamless and unique user experience, fully leveraging the platform's social characteristics to enhance user interaction and engagement. The SDK enables developers to quickly develop and iterate game features, while efficient resource management and networking protocols ensure smooth performance of the game across different network environments.

Expanding the Ecological Map of Development Routes

Catizen has released a complete 12-month development roadmap, which includes six phases:

1. Launch the Catizen game and incentivize users to create cryptocurrency wallets through airdrops.
2. Launch of Catizen Launchpool, users can earn governance tokens through staking and mining.
3. Launch Game Center and introduce more games, supporting CATI staking.
4. Launch a short video platform to expand the female user base
5. Attract TON ecosystem projects using the open task platform
6. Launch e-commerce platform to expand CATI token application scenarios

A clear development plan not only enhances the transparency of the project but also clarifies the direction for long-term development, boosting the confidence of the crypto community.

With its strong technical strength, Catizen has become not just a game, but a community and a movement. Here, every interaction contributes to the greater community good and ecological development.
