There are less than two days left until the end of July, and the booming TON gaming ecosystem has not seen the expected wave of airdrops. In fact, in the whole month of July, only one TON game worth paying attention to had an airdrop: Pixelverse ($PIXFI). The airdrops of Hamster Combat and Catizen, the two most popular projects in the TON ecosystem, were cancelled.
As the only thing worth noting on TON in July, the $PIXFI airdrop actually does not satisfy users. Take the editor as an example. The PixelTap game level is 9, the number of invited users is 88, but only got 690 $PIXFI, which is about 20.7 US dollars at the current price. In fact, this money is not available at all. According to the official "genius" design, after receiving the $PIXFI tokens, these coins will be automatically staked. If you want to withdraw them, you can only withdraw 10%, and the remaining 90% will return to the community. Therefore, the immediate airdrop income is only 20.7x10%= $2.07.
However, the airdrops of Hamster and Catizen are still worth looking forward to. Both have received some important support recently. OKX’s newly launched pre-market trading market announced yesterday that Hamster’s token $HMSTR was selected as the first listed project and will be officially traded on August 1. Catizen announced on July 23 that it had received strategic investment from Binance. It is likely to be listed on Binance.
Hamster and Catizen, two popular projects, failed to deliver, and the token airdrop was postponed to August?
Original plan:
Hamster: July TGE, launch in-game tokens
Catizen: Launching the game center in July, releasing more games, allowing users to stake $CATI to mine
Now:
Hamster: The team is actively working on implementing the airdrop, which is a very complex technical task involving all platforms. We are currently working closely with the TON blockchain team to develop the most efficient technical solution for the airdrop.
Catizen: The airdrop plan originally scheduled for July will be postponed to achieve the long-term development and sustainability of the $CATI token. The goal is to optimize the key elements of the token listing, including identifying exchanges, ensuring sufficient liquidity, providing trading options, and determining the listing price. In addition, factors such as compliance and market sentiment must also be considered.
Perhaps to ease users' anxiety, Catizen announced in the announcement that in TGE, seed round investors, consultants and teams will not receive CATI tokens. When they receive tokens after the initial 12 months, there will be a 12-month cliff period, after which the tokens will be vested within 4 years.
Token Economics
$HMSTR
According to a third-party data website, the total amount of $HMSTR is estimated to be 10 billion, of which up to 76% of the tokens are allocated for partnerships. The official has not yet announced the specific details of the token allocation. Currently, $HMSTR has been launched on the pre-market trading market of Bybit and Gate.io. It will be launched on the pre-market market of OKX on August 1.
$CATI
According to the official white paper, the initial amount of $CATI is 1 billion, of which 43% is allocated to airdrops, 20% to the team, and 20% to the treasury. According to the latest announcement, in TGE, seed round investors, consultants and teams will not receive CATI tokens.
Catizen’s airdrop was cancelled at the last minute, which has made some users and KOLs anxious and dissatisfied.
Yet another project screwed up after making initial promises 🤐
$TON tap to mine is becoming a joke
First it was Tapswap, then pixelverse, then Hamster, and now catizen
Seriously, why don't you guys learn from other people's mistakes?
Tapswap made mistakes and still cannot gain the trust of the community
Pixelverse fud is well known
If you can’t keep your promises, why did you make them in the first place?
Disappointed with the last minute decision 😔
@Gautamguptagg (63,000 followers):
If market sentiment is bad, postponing TGE activities is a solution.
However, market sentiment is also good right now - if you delay now, the project will fail
Hope next month
Otherwise there will be a lot of fud
I know you are waiting for more funds - don't be greedy
You guys are making a lot of money already, so hopefully this continues. We want you to know that the community is upset right now, and if this continues you will lose players.
So this delay without stating a new airdrop date is definitely a ploy to push the airdrop back a few months, I don’t blame you, I blame the influencers who don’t do their job but hype every new thing to new people.
Although this was all expected, I still sympathize with those who have high hopes.
Ask the team: What happened?
Did the team postpone the TGE airdrop and even the snapshot in order to create more accounts like this?
Ask the team to explain things clearly and not always deal with content that is meaningless and perfunctory to users.
(The user's Cat level has reached 700)
Hamster and Catizen are the same. I have tears in my eyes 😅 Why are they talking about making the game better? At least playing Hamster is just a waste of our time, while catizen is feeding the cat with your money while you wait for the listing and still not telling you the listing information. I suggest you not to spend more money on Catizen. Avacoin and pixelverse are already listed, although the performance is terrible. What's so difficult about Hamster and Catizen?
at last
The postponement of the airdrops for Hamster and Catizen may not be a bad thing. After all, the airdrop number of these two projects will create a new history. The airdrops for tens of millions of users will face considerable technical problems. At the same time, for the continued development of the game, token economics needs to be more cautious and appropriate.
But users seem to be getting more and more impatient and are looking forward to the airdrop in August.
