# Catex IDO & Launch Strategy

By [Catex](https://paragraph.com/@catex) · 2025-07-07

As Catex prepares for its highly anticipated launch on **Unichain**, we’re thrilled to unveil the full strategy behind our upcoming **IDO and token distribution** — purpose-built to reward early alignment, maximize accessibility, and supercharge the ve(3,3) MetaDEX model from day one.

### A Multi-Platform Launch

To onboard both core supporters and new communities, Catex is launching its IDO across **three leading launchpads** and a **native sale**:

*   ApeBond Pre-Sale Bond – $25,000 | July 8,
    
*   SporesNetwork – $150,000 Raise | July 11
    
*   Poolz – $150,000 Raise | July 13
    
*   Finceptor – $200,000 Raise | July 14
    
*   Catex Native Sale – $50,000 Raise | July 14
    

This hybrid model ensures broad access via trusted platforms, while also giving Catex’s most aligned contributors **direct access** through our native app.

Native Sale: Built for the Aligned
----------------------------------

The $50,000 native raise on [app.catex.fi](https://app.catex.fi/) is designed to prioritize long-term believers and early ecosystem contributors.

### Whitelist Phase (24 Hours)

To participate in this phase, you’ll need a **CATEX-0 NFT**, your **exclusive whitelist ticket**. These NFTs are **free to mint** — if you’re whitelisted — **and grant priority access to the sale, bonus veCATX rewards, and the commemorative status of being an early Catex supporter.**

> WL for the NFT → WL for the IDO
> 
> NFT = Guaranteed access + Bonus airdrop

### **How to Get Whitelisted & Claim a CATEX-0 NFT**

Some have already secured their whitelist through key roles:

*   Top Feline veToken holders
    
*   ZooFelines Discord OGs
    
*   Lynex Key holders
    
*   Pre-mining contributors
    
*   Loudest Roarers
    
*   Top Uniswap LPs & Unichain users
    
*   Partner campaign winners
    

But there’s **still time to earn your spot**.

Throughout the week, we’ll be awarding additional CATEX-0 whitelists to:

*   Community creators — roar with original content
    
*   Helpful contributors — support others in the Discord jungle
    
*   Campaign participants — stay active on socials and partner quests
    

A CATEX-0 NFT is your exclusive key to whitelist access, bonus rewards, and your place in the jungle. Don’t miss it.

### FCFS Phase

Following the whitelist window, **any remaining allocation** will be open to the public on a **first-come, first-served** basis.

**Vesting: Designed for ve(3,3) Alignment**

Why It Matters: Yield from Day One
----------------------------------

The **native sale on** [**app.catex.fi**](http://app.catex.fi) is the only path to **max-locked veCATX** from day one — giving you the highest voting power, deepest alignment, and full participation rights from the start.

By choosing to claim 100% as max-locked veCATX, you:

*   **Gain full voting power immediately**
    
*   **Qualify for up to 25% bonus allocation**
    
*   **Shape protocol emissions and earn rewards from epoch 1**
    

This isn’t just an investment — it’s an early governance seat in the MetaDEX built for Unichain.
