Move over Catizen: Dogizen offers real long-term gains

Dogizen aims to outpace its rival Catizen as the next big thing in Telegram gaming, with a long-term vision, strong community focus, and massive growth potential.

Just as Telegram gaming heats up, Dogizen is preparing to steal the thunder from its feline rival, Catizen. The first-ever Telegram ICO, Dogizen has a vision to become the go-to platform for mobile web3 gaming. It’s packed with long-term potential and could soon leave Catizen in the dust. Here’s why.

What Catizen got right (and wrong)

Catizen is one of several Telegram games to hit the scene in 2024, alongside Hamster Kombat, Notcoin, and many more. It’s part of a growing wave of Telegram-based web3 games, which some in the industry think will be the key to onboarding the next generation of crypto users. 

The premise of Catizen is simple: manage a virtual cat city and complete tasks to earn in-game tokens, which equate to an airdrop of CATI tokens down the line depending on the player’s performance. This accessibility and the potential to earn cryptocurrency have led Catizen to build a userbase of more than 44 million with revenue of $30+ million.

However, Catizen may be shooting itself in the foot with its current model. Many perceive the gameplay as unengaging and repetitive, with the prospect of an airdrop being the main attraction. This airdrop incentivizes users to dump their tokens as soon as they receive them, expecting others to do the same.

This race to the bottom is seen in Catizen’s price history: while initially jumping to $1.06 shortly after tokens were listed on exchanges in September, CATI slowly bled out to $0.26 less than two months later. Promising to build on Catizen’s mistakes, Dogizen seems a much better option for long-term gains.

Why Dogizen is Telegram gaming’s rising star

Dogizen has already proven itself with a revenue-generating T2E MVP that’s seen more than 1.4 million players. It was launched following calls by Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov for a dog-themed competitor to Catizen. 

Its presale, the first-ever conducted directly on Telegram, has attracted more than $1.4m in investment ahead of the upcoming Dogizen Universe.

Dogizen Universe is billed as a hub for hosting games, rewarding players, and supporting developers. It will provide custom-built SDKs for devs as easy exposure to Telegram’s 950 million-strong audience. Its presale aims to build a strong community ready to support the growth of Dogizen Universe and the project’s broader roadmap, rather than immediately dumping tokens.

This steady approach will likely pay dividends (not least through the revenue-sharing opportunities for DOGIZ holders). Binance has snapped up Telegram gaming tokens like HMSTR, NOT, and CATI in recent months as popularity soared, and Dogizen’s focus on the long term could mean it’s next in line.

Dogizen’s potential is unmatched

Several partnerships, including Grindery, SHARKS, and Secret Launchpad, are already under its belt. With a combined reach of 3.9+ million users, Dogizen’s growth potential is enormous. 

So, just how far could Dogizen go? In the context of its approximate $10 million market cap post-launch, 10x, and even 100x, isn’t out of the question. Catizen hit a peak market cap of $222 million, while Notcoin soared to $2.4 billion. 

At $200 million—in line with many competitors’ peaks—DOGIZ would roughly 20x. Should Dogizen move to Notcoin’s top, +200x returns could be on the cards.

For now, it’s still early days. Dogizen remains highly undervalued in its ongoing presale. Jump in before presale prices increase further.
