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)
