After rapidly clocking up a formidable 1 million players, Dogizen has opened itself up to further investment with its presale—the first ever Telegram-based ICO—and the announcement of its new DOGIZ utility token.
Dogizen sits at the center of two overlapping sectors that are currently just beginning to explode: Telegram gaming and the wider TON ecosystem. And with close rivals like Catizen boasting 40 million players and over $25 million in revenue, Dogizen has the potential to do some serious numbers.
Dogizen’s industry-shifting platform
Dogizen has seen the future, and the future is Telegram games. They can be accessed right from within Telegram’s UX and require zero additional downloading. Plus, now, with the plans for Dogizen universe, Telegram gaming is about to cascade into a whole new world of different titles and experiences.
Dogizen Universe is a multifaceted Telegram gaming ecosystem. In providing Dogizen’s growing 1 million-strong audience with a developer SDK, Dogizen is inviting its community to build the next generation of Telegram games. The DOGIZ token will hold this new ecosystem together, allowing players to earn from playing and developers to earn from creating.
The long-term vision that Dogizen Universe offers
Dogizen’s 1 million strong user base isn’t just a community of gamers. It’s the basis for building an entirely new economy. The minigames and experiences created by developers don’t just have to stop at your typical play to earn experience.
Dogizen will invite brands to create applications that reward their players for using them. Instead of tapping to earn crypto, you could be tapping to win your favorite brand’s merch. This opens up a new world of rewards for the players and advertising audiences for brands.
With mobile gaming set to soar to around $150 billion by 2028, GameFi projected to grow at a CAGR of 28.5% until 2032, and the tap-to-earn sector already past the $1.5 billion mark despite only just being born, Dogizen’s new offering is ready to ride a powerful wave. The long-term vision is for Dogizen to become the market-leading host of Telegram gaming’s next generation of titles.
Dogizen’s advantages over Catizen
Make no mistake, Catizen has some serious tailwinds behind it and is doing remarkably well—its average revenue per user is around 200x more than the typical crypto project. And Catizen has received serious praise from Telegram’s CEO. This is all to Dogizen’s benefit, though. Because Catizen’s success essentially drove the Telegram CEO to tee up Dogizen. And with Dogizen’s bolder long-term vision, Catizen’s success has created a formidable competitor.
For starters, Dogizen’s gameplay is much simpler than Catizen’s. While Catizen involves raising virtual cats, the straightforward tapping of Dogizen likely has much broader appeal. Literally anyone with a functioning limb can excel at such a game.
As mentioned, Dogizen is the very first Telegram-based presale. Now Dogizen can raise funds from Telegram’s 950 million strong audience with ease, due to the TON wallet being directly integrated into Telegram’s UX. This opens Dogizen up to the kind of potential investment that Catizen could’ve made good use of. With this barrage of funding from a wider pool of investors, Dogizen can supercharge its roadmap. And as the Dogizen platform explodes, this will likely only translate into price appreciation for the DOGIZ token and significantly higher user acquisition rates than Catizen.
The Telegram ecosystem is about to explode
Aside from Dogizen’s solid potential as a tap-to-earn game, the fact that the DOGIZ token is on the TON network makes it a strong pick for solid gains in 2024.
Catizen has listed on Binance, Gate.io, and Bitget, boasting a market cap, at press time, of over $220 million. The recent success of the new TON coin DOGS made it the biggest token generation event in history. And according to the CEO of Blum (another popular Telegram game), half of its users are complete newcomers to the crypto space.
Since Telegram has neatly integrated a crypto wallet within its app, it seems like Telegram games are the ultimate gateway drug to the world of cryptocurrency—hardly surprising that the TON ecosystem is set to receive its own venture fund for investing in apps.
With these kinds of tailwinds, it seems like all signs point to Dogizen taking over in 2024 and beyond.
The Dogizen presale goes live on 4th October, 2024 at 8am UTC. Visit the official Dogizen website for further info.
