Before veCATX, before the hooks, before the MetaDEX mechanics โ there was an experiment.
It was called CATEX-0.
A prototype.
A simulation.
1000 feline-modeled NFTs designed to test the future of DeFi participation.
The experiment was shelved.
The units, archived.
Until now.
CATEX-0 is a lore-driven community NFT campaign created by Catex to onboard aligned users into the ecosystem โ not just through speculation, but through contribution, commitment, and curiosity.
But this isnโt just storytelling โ itโs your key to the Catex IDO.
Each CATEX-0 NFT grants:
โ Guaranteed whitelist access to the native Catex IDO
โ Up to 25% bonus CATX for max-locked IDO participation
โ A commemorative NFT to mark your early contribution
โ Early standing in the protocolโs governance layer (veCATX)
The official CATEX-0 NFT mint begins:
๐ July 10 | On OpenSea | Chain: Unichain
โ opensea.io/collection/catex-0
๐๏ธ Cost: Free mint
๐ช You only pay gas (ETH on Unichain)
๐ Supply: 1000 total NFTs
Just head to the OpenSea mint page, connect your wallet, and youโll see if your wallet is eligible to mint.
