🧬 CATEX-0 — Minting July 10 on Unichain

Before veCATX, before the hooks, before the MetaDEX mechanics — 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.

🧬 What is CATEX-0?

CATEX-0 is a lore-driven community NFT campaign created by Catex to onboard aligned users into the ecosystem — not just through speculation, but through contribution, commitment, and curiosity.

But this isn’t just storytelling — it’s your key to the Catex IDO.

Each CATEX-0 NFT grants:

✅ Guaranteed whitelist access to the native Catex IDO

✅ Up to 25% bonus CATX for max-locked IDO participation

✅ A commemorative NFT to mark your early contribution

✅ Early standing in the protocol’s governance layer (veCATX)
