$CATTEA Airdrop And Token Launch: All You Need To Know

While the hype behind Telegram mini games has faded since their peak in 2024, Cattea continues to stand out as an engaging project on The Open Network (TON). 

Developed by the team behind Catizen, Cattea blends match-3 puzzle gameplay with a ‘drink-to-earn’ model, rewarding users with in-game tokens convertible into real crypto. As of July 2025, the game still had over 449,000 monthly users on Telegram.

Since launching its airdrop campaign earlier in 2025, Cattea has attracted millions of players — and the latest updates show the project is now transitioning from a mini-game into a larger ecosystem play.

Cattea Telegram game

What is Cattea?

Cattea is a Telegram-based game that combines casual puzzle mechanics with idle income generation. Players complete match-3 levels to earn ‘Cattea coins’ and ‘cat paws’, which help upgrade a virtual bubble tea shop. These upgrades allow users to earn passive income over time.

Unlike traditional crypto games, Cattea requires no upfront wallet connection, making it ideal for crypto newcomers. It’s built on TON, taking advantage of the blockchain’s tight integration with Telegram and its fast settlement times.

Also, Cattea was integrated into the Catizen ecosystem’s App Center, alongside companion games like Bombie. All three games are accessible within one hub, offering cross-game rewards and daily login bonuses.

When is the CATTEA airdrop?

Cattea’s airdrop remains one of the largest among Telegram games in 2025.

• 75% of the $CATTEA token supply is allocated to community distribution, including airdrops. The airdrop has not happened yet. It will be distributed when the token goes live on exchanges (date yet to be confirmed).
• The airdrop snapshot period ended in April 2025, capturing user activity data from gameplay, referrals, and social engagement.
• The TGE (token generation event) has not yet occurred, but official channels confirm it is still on track for this year.

Stablecoin peg

A major update as of July: $CATTEA is now designed as a stablecoin . According to the latest reports, one million $CATTEA tokens = $1 USD. This peg introduces a predictable value mechanism, unlike volatile P2E tokens.

How to earn $CATTEA

While the airdrop campaign has closed for snapshot purposes, players can still earn tokens daily by continuing to play:

• Game rounds: Complete puzzles to earn coins and paws. You get three free rounds per day, with extra rounds available through ads or payment.
• Combo code system: Every day, Cattea releases a ‘Daily Combo’ code via its Telegram group, which players can redeem for bonuses.
• Referral system: Inviting friends increases your rewards, especially if the invitees are Telegram Premium users.
• Sticker packs: Special sticker packs still provide one-time bonus tokens for users who claim them.

Token utility and ecosystem growth

The upcoming token launch will link in-game earnings with blockchain rewards. Token utility includes:

• In-game purchases and upgrades
• Passive income through shop levels
• Interoperability across Catizen games
• Marketplace usage for rare items and cosmetics.

Animoca Brands backed the Catizen ecosystem in May 2025, boosting confidence in Cattea’s post-airdrop tokenomics and sustainability.

What’s next?

Cattea continues to evolve as a standout in Telegram gaming. While some top tap-to-earn titles like TapSwap and YesCoin remain unreleased or delayed, Cattea has already launched publicly on multiple platforms — including LINE dApp Center — and continues daily user engagement.

The community now awaits the final $CATTEA token distribution and exchange listing, with speculation that it may occur before Q4 2025.

Final notes

Cattea has carved out a unique space in the Telegram gamefi world by fusing casual gameplay with stablecoin mechanics. Its high airdrop allocation, predictable token value, and ecosystem partnerships make it one of the more structured projects in the current wave of Web3 mini-games.
