The digital asset firm’s decision to collaborate with Catizen resulted from The Open Network (TON) ecosystem’s rapid growth.


In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Ben El-Baz, managing director of HashKey Global, explained the factors that led the firm to partner with Catizen:“Over the past one or two quarters, the number of developers on the TON blockchain has rapidly increased, signaling the arrival of a thriving and prosperous period for the ecosystem.”


El-Baz stated that he “observed many experienced teams” working on Ton projects in decentralized finance (DeFi) and “games like Catizen.”

Tim Wong, chairman of the Catizen Foundation, discussed the challenges of GameFi and its implications for Web3 games:“The issue of longevity impacts not only Web3 GameFi but also Web2 games. The lifecycle of any mini-game, or even a well-crafted game, is typically short.”


Wong highlighted the importance of data tracking for measuring user engagement, citing “a well-designed back-end system” as crucial for a project’s decision-making and market strategy implementation:“[...] it is easy for third party platform to collect the onchain interactions and onchain users in Catizen. The latest data shows we have over 120M DAUs [daily active users] at present.”
