Catizen’s Surprise Changes to Airdrop Criteria Anger Some Players
The path to Catizen’s upcoming token launch has been relatively rocky. After postponing its airdrop in July, the game has now revealed airdrop allocations to players. However, not all players are satisfied with the number of tokens allocated to them. The uproar on X has forced Catizen creator Pluto Studio to clarify that there were changes made to the airdrop criteria.
Catizen Reduces CATI Token Supply to 30%
In an X post, Pluto Studio explained that they had reduced the CATI’s token circulating supply from 43% to 30%. According to the gaming company, this change was necessary to boost the token’s price.
So, how much has been set aside for the airdrop? Pluto Studio has said that eligible players will share 15% of the circulating supply. Note that the total supply for the CATI coin has been capped at 1 billion. Therefore, only 150 million tokens are available for the airdrop.
Catizen Says It Discovered Bot Accounts
As players expressed their anger on X over what they called “unfair token distribution,” the Catizen creators defended themselves, claiming that they had changed the criteria of the CATI airdrop after finding out that some users had boosted their earnings artificially.
Pluto Studio said its team discovered multiple bot accounts that used scripts to enhance their vkitty speeds in an attempt to receive larger token allocations. As such, it shifted the airdrop criteria to focus on “aspects that reflect the activities of genuine players more accurately.” These activities include task completions and on-chain interactions.
Some Players Call Catizen a Scam
Considering that some tasks required players to spend money, Catizen managed to raise over $20 million. Paying players who believe their token allocations do not match money spent in the game are now calling Pluto Studio a scam. One notable Catizen player, @AibCrypto, wonders why the gaming company has chosen to alter the entire airdrop criteria instead of blocking bot accounts from receiving CATI tokens. The player also claims they spent over $200 in the game but has only been allocated 5 CATI.
Meanwhile, Binance has listed CATI on its Launchpool, allowing users to stake FDUSD or BNB to farm the gaming token before September 20.
