In the present-day connected world, memes have become an integral part of our pop culture. While one can’t put a monetary value on the entertainment they provide, its creators can definitely be encouraged and rewarded for their contribution towards a lively internet.
Catecoin, the first decentralized meme-based token is trying to do just by incentivizing content creators as well as consumers. The project is the first of its kind to implement DeFi features in the content space. Fueled by the CATE token, the project offers a platform for user-generated content, quite similar to 9GAG but on a blockchain, along with content farming and staking features.
How does it work?
Using the Catecoin ecosystem is as simple as using any social network platform. Content creators can submit their creations to the Catecoin Meme Platform and once published they will start earning CATE rewards as the community likes or comments on that content. Even platform users who interact with the posts will receive rewards for their comments and likes.
Meanwhile, the posts are evaluated based on the received reactions. Any post with 500 or more likes from the community will become eligible for a transformation into an NFT and get listed on the NFT market. Catecoin refers to this entire process as Content Farming and has set aside 35% of CATE supply for this alone.
Using CATE
CATE is the utility token of the Binance Smart Chain-based Catecoin project. Apart from value exchange, these tokens also control the accessibility of the platform. Users should hold a minimum of 10,000 CATE to interact with any posts on the platform. Similarly, content creators will have to maintain a balance of 100,000 CATE to be able to submit their works to the platform.
While each like or comment will result in both content creators and consumers receiving 0.1 CATE each, the community can also earn additional returns by just holding the tokens. The platform shares one percent of each transaction made on the network with CATE holders, and at the same time burns the same amount to regulate supply.
Once a meme gets converted to NFT and lists on the NFT market, anyone can purchase it and start receiving any rewards the asset may generate in the future.
Get some CATE, it is simple
In just a few simple steps, one can become part of the Catecoin community early on. CATE is listed on PancakeSwap and users can acquire the tokens against BNB payment. Buying CATE will require users to download and set up Trust Wallet and MetaMask accounts and hold some BNB in their wallets. They can then visit PancakeSwap, make payment in BNB to the Catecoin token 0x118f073796821da3e9901061b05c0b36377b877e and receive the tokens in their connected wallet.

What Makes CATE Different?
The flood of meme coins into the crypto market started long ago, and Dogecoin is the prime example. Many of these coins have a virtually unlimited supply and no real use cases. On the other hand, CATE has a definite supply of 100 trillion and a deflationary mechanism that reduces the supply by 0.5%-1% per transaction while providing a real-world use case – encouraging meme creators to monetize their content. The model adopted by Catecoin makes it the most sustainable meme project out there.
