The P2E TON-based game and Meow Metaverse, CatizenAI, has launched its Wipe Beta Test. Within its first week, the Telegram bot game attracted 160,000 users and facilitated over 50,000 on-chain transactions. As a Play-to-Airdrop project combining elements of the Metaverse, GameFi, and AI, CatizenAI aims to leverage the TON Ecosystem's dynamics and elevate the GameFi industry.
Tongochi
Tongochi is preparing to launch the Closed Beta Testnet for its second game, Zombie Town, featuring a unique burning event where users can acquire special NFT keys by burning tokens. These keys grant eligibility to participate in the testnet and a chance to share a 1,000 TON reward pool. Building on the success of its first P2E game, which involves breeding mutant frogs, Zombie Town will allow players to use their trained frogs as weapons against zombies, earning rewards in the process.
Projects with the fastest TVL growth

In just ten days, three projects have seen their TVL grow by over $1 million each: TON Raffles, an all-in-one Jetton platform providing Jetton and NFT launchpad; DeDust, a leading DEX on TON; and GRAM, the first Proof of Work (POW) Jetton on TON.
