We are thrilled to announce an exciting new alliance with Catizen, an innovative game network developed by Pluto Studio. This strategic collaboration between Mantle and Catizen marks a significant step forward in revolutionizing in-game transactions and asset management within the world of web3 gaming.

Introducing Catizen: A Cat-Themed Innovative Game Network

Catizen envisions a sprawling "Meow Universe'' aimed to become a web3 traffic hub platform that integrates entertainment and social aspects. Just one month after its open beta test launch, Catizen garnered an impressive total of 2.3 million users with over 220k+ on-chain users and over 520k+ daily active users. In terms of transactions, Catizen has also achieved remarkable success, with users completing over 2.6 million on-chain transactions within a month of their open beta test, generating over $3 million USD in revenue. Through the strategic alliance, Mantle will provide Catizen robust technical support and resources needed to scale their project to further enhance its economic model and user experience. The partnership further enables Catizen to leverage Mantle’s stellar industry reputation as a leading L2 ecosystem, expanding Catizen’s user base to foster a thriving community.

Leveraging Synergies for Player Rewards in Catizen

The inaugural game on Catizen, features a range of activities that rely on a robust network for a seamless experience. By participating in these activities, players can earn vKitty through Catizen's unique play-to-airdrop design, with future token airdrops anticipated. Additionally, the alliance also opens up the opportunity for users to unlock rewards up to 230,000 $MNT by engaging in various activities like fishing, topping up their accounts, and claiming $MNT gas subsidies. And the ultimate Catizen token airdrop awaits those who climb to the top of the leaderboards, providing an extra incentive for competitive play.

Next, leveraging its massive player base, Catizen aims to become the definitive traffic hub in the web3 space. Subsequently, Catizen will launch Catizen Launchpool and open quest system. The goal is to build a more comprehensive Catizen ecosystem, providing additional circulation and consumption scenarios for the token. For example, only users who possess Catizen tokens will have the privilege to participate in the quest system and earn airdrops, as well as participate in Launchpool to mine other game tokens, thereby enhancing the token's value.

To effectively power Catizen's in-game economy, Mantle Network provides its established infrastructure and technical expertise. This collaboration enhances Catizen's operational capabilities and expands its market presence, leveraging Mantle's industry reputation to attract a broader audience. Mantle also stands to benefit from this collaboration by extending its reach and strengthening its role within the web3 gaming space. By supporting a platform like Catizen, known for its significant user base and innovative gaming solutions, Mantle can diversify its ecosystem, attracting new users and developers.
