‘Catizen’ players are outraged after dramatic changes to Telegram game AirDrop.

KatzenThe road to the upcoming token launch on September 20 has been rocky with players. Complaining about previous delays and other activities. But now after some players are in the arms again Air drop classifications revealedacknowledges unannounced specification changes from developer Pluto Studio.

Pluto revealed to players on Saturday how many tokens they are set to receive when the Telegram game CATI token launches on the platform. Open network. Players will not know how much each token is worth as the token will be released on the market on September 20th.

However, many players took to Twitter (pronounced X) to express their disappointment as their share of the prize was less than expected. CATI will have a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with 305 million tokens distributed – and some players who have been grinding hard on Telegram's puzzle game thought they would get a bigger share of the pile.

“Rated 6,054 out of 36 million players but only got 39 CATI.” One player claimed it.. “How can anyone call this a fair distribution? We need clarity about token allocation.

Other players have complained of single-digit or double-digit CATI placements in viral tweets, even though they claim to have played too much of the game. Quickly, the hashtag “#catizenscam” started Trending all over Twitter.

But complaints are not only focused on the number of tokens allocated to players. It follows previously unannounced changes to the token distribution model and allocation criteria.

Pluto had previously announced that 43% of its token supply would be released to the public – but Friday's announcement that around 30% of the supply will be circulated at launch has raised questions among players.

At the end of the week, the developers explained that 43% of the supply will be allocated to “air and ecosystem”, but a total of 90 million tokens (9% of the total supply) will be provided to Binance customers who hold coins through Launchpool. Award campaign. The promotion was valid. announced on Friday.

Only 15% of the total supply (or 150 million tokens) will be used for players' initial airdrops, which will reward gameplay during quarterly in-game periods.

There is an additional change that will draw disdain from some players. In the past, Catzen's team said that players' in-game vKitty revenue—increased by playing the cat-related puzzle game—will be the primary determinant of airdrop placements.

But early Sunday, after the weather allocation was revealed to the players, Pluto said it actually was. He changed the pattern of the air drop After discovering that some players used artificial means to boost their earnings.

“During this review of CATI airdrop data, we discovered that several bot accounts exploited this public law by using scripts to increase their vKitty profit rate, in an attempt to obtain a disproportionate amount of CATI tokens,” he wrote. “Following the first airdrop requirement in this case will seriously harm the interests of real players and community supporters!”

Therefore, the airdrop requirements are designed to reduce vKitty's profit rate and instead focus on factors that “accurately reflect real player activities: on-chain interactions, task completion, and fish coin purchases and consumption.”

Because some of these criteria are based on spending money in the game – and Pluto was recently proud. Paying players earn 27 million dollars– A group of Katzens who were unhappy with their airing units complained that it was a bait and switch operation at the expense of those who invested time rather than money.

Decrypt Pluto reached out to the studio for comment about the complaints and changes, including why it doesn't ban players who cheat instead of changing the criteria for all users — but didn't get an immediate response.
