HashKey Group said in a press release that the company will use TON blockchain’s technology to achieve these goals, with the aim of further growing within the GameFi and digital entertainment infrastructure market.

“As a phenomenal product in the GameFi sector in 2024, Catizen opens up opportunities for the future development of the next generation of GameFi. We are excited to continue participating in the global innovation of the digital entertainment industry based on our collaboration within the Ton ecosystem,” said Ben El-Baz, Managing Director of HashKey Global.

This development comes after HashKey Group entered into a strategic partnership with TON Foundation in April.

HashKey’s partnership has since led to major developments in the GameFi space for TON blockchain, with Catizen being one of the Telegram mini-games to explode in userbase and daily active user count. Catizen continues to see significant traction amid viral adoption for competitors like Kombat Hamster.
