The amount of the investment was not disclosed. TOP supports blockchain-based startups The Open Network (TON). Among them is the Tonkeeper wallet, the decentralized STON exchange.fi, the Getgems NFT marketplace and the Notcoin gaming Web3 project.
"The Catizen team has launched one of the most successful games in the Telegram mini-app ecosystem. Their innovative approach sets new standards for thousands of developers," commented Andrey Rogozov, founder and CEO of The Open Platform.Earlier, the founder of Open Builders, Sasha Plotvinov, said that "tapalki" will not have long-term success among users and do not contribute to attracting income.
"Sasha claims that there are a number of games with a stable model. He cited the example of Catizen, whose team claims that more than half of its users are paying customers who have brought in millions of dollars in revenue," The Block said in an interview.According to the press release, Pluto Studio plans to release new projects, expanding the Catizen ecosystem with the help of a special mini-game center.
Pluto Studio is a GameFi platform in the TON ecosystem. Her flagship project, Catizen, won the App Battle competition as part of the third season of The Open League program.
In Catizen, you need to breed cats and complete tasks for farming points. In the future, Pluto Studio will convert them into CATI tokens. According to the project's website, the game has more than 25 million users
Recall that last week, TOP developers announced work on the L2 protocol using Polygon technologies for the TON ecosystem.
