CATBAT is a Web3 initiative built around a cyberpunk investigator who exposes financial manipulation, scams, and rug pulls in the blockchain space. Operating within Chain City, a metaphorical representation of the current fraud-centric landscape, CATBAT provides tools, education, and transparency to combat scams and rug pulls. Through ClaimMyCATBAT (live) and ScamScout (in development), alongside the planned CATBAT Vault and the CATBAT Academy, the project aims to give its members the knowledge and resources needed to stay secure and navigate the ever-evolving world of Web3.
The World
Chain City
Chain City / On-Chain
The story takes place in Chain City, known to everyone simply as On-Chain. A city that behaves like nothing else. Buildings go dark overnight for no apparent reason. Entire neighborhoods boom and collapse within months. Nobody officially governs it. And yet it runs.
In this world, there are no police who understand the crime. No regulators fast enough to stop it. Real people live inside these patterns, lose money inside them, and disappear inside them. The city is not the backdrop. It is the system everyone lives inside.
RULE 01
CATBAT is a detective, not a superhero
He does not fight villains. He investigates patterns and exposes scams. His weapon is information.
RULE 02
Normal people live here
People work, build things, try to make money, get scammed. The system affects real lives.
RULE 03
Every scam leaves a trace
Every transaction is recorded. Nothing truly disappears. CATBAT reads what others cannot.
THE ORIGIN
Tuesday. 6:43am. 47 messages.
The thing he had spent three months building community around had vanished overnight. The money was gone. The website was offline. The team's social accounts deleted like they had never existed. He stopped asking anyone to trust him. The only thing he asks people to trust is the evidence.
He does not hunt criminals. He exposes them.
The Identity
Chain Analysis Technician
CAT: Chain Analysis Technician. The role, not the person. BAT: Blockchain Analysis Tool. The software.
Operating Style
No fixed location
A laptop, a connection, a dead block that nobody is watching. The setup changes. The work doesn't. He rarely moves through the city. He moves through On-Chain.
CATBAT is a community-driven effort to fight crypto-related fraud and rug pulls. By combining practical tools with a dedicated community, the project aims to foster trust, collaboration, and empowerment across the Web3 ecosystem.
Vision and Mission
CATBAT aims to redefine security in the cryptocurrency space by creating an ecosystem that empowers users through real-time tools and a robust community network. Guided by the instincts of an investigator, CATBAT's mission is to make the crypto space safer and more inclusive for all participants through analysis, transparency, and evidence.
Core Values
Transparency
Transparency is embedded in every facet of the project. It fosters trust and accountability, allowing every community member to feel informed and engaged. This open approach extends to financial management, where token allocations, treasury fund utilisation, and liquidity locks are communicated with clarity and rigorously adhered to.
Empowerment
Empowerment is central to CATBAT's mission. By building tools like ScamScout and providing accessible educational resources through CATBAT Academy, CATBAT empowers users to become proactive participants in their crypto journeys, ensuring that every user, from beginners to seasoned traders, can navigate the ecosystem with confidence.
Community-Driven
At CATBAT, the community is the foundation of the project's success. Collective knowledge and collaboration drive progress. CATBAT actively involves its community in shaping its future, from X Spaces to open forums. By celebrating diversity and collaboration, CATBAT builds a network that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries.
02
CATBAT Ecosystem
The CATBAT Ecosystem is the beating heart of the entire CATBAT ecosystem. This centralised hub brings together all the project's offerings in one intuitive interface, ensuring seamless access to tools, resources, and community features.
ScamScout
ScamScout is an all-in-one rug check tool, currently in development, designed to evaluate project safety in real time, with AI-driven analysis planned as the tool matures. Once live, it is intended to provide:
Liquidity Tracking: Analyse liquidity trends to identify potential red flags.
Rug Pull Detection: Detect common indicators of rug pull schemes.
Developer Wallet Analysis: Assess wallet activity to gauge trustworthiness.
Social Media Verification: Evaluate project socials for signs of authenticity or manipulation.
Top Holder Analysis: Identify potential whale manipulation or suspicious activities.
Holder Distribution Analysis: Assess token ownership spread to evaluate decentralisation or detect concentration risks.
Comment Sentiment Analysis: Monitor and evaluate public sentiment on forums, social media, and community discussions.
It is planned to be available as a Telegram bot, a public API, and a web interface, enabling users and developers to make data-driven decisions. Current status and timelines are shown in the roadmap.
ScamScout in Action
Here is a simplified example of a ScamScout analysis, run on a fictional sample token to illustrate the output. This is not $CATBAT; it is a generic demonstration.
ScamScout analyses 50+ metrics across liquidity, developer behaviour, social signals, and on-chain activity. The above is a simplified snapshot of a fictional sample token, shown for illustration only. It is not $CATBAT.
ClaimMyCATBAT
Rug pulls can be devastating, leaving users feeling helpless and disillusioned. ClaimMyCATBAT allows users to burn rugged token accounts and recover locked SOL rent, which is used to purchase $CATBAT.
Every token account associated with rugged tokens holds a token account rent of 0.00204 SOL, which remains trapped and unused. ClaimMyCATBAT allows users to close these token accounts, recover the locked SOL rent, and receive $CATBAT purchased with that SOL, effectively cleaning up their wallets while participating in the CATBAT ecosystem.
Distribution for Closed Token Accounts
When a rugged token account is closed using ClaimMyCATBAT, the recovered SOL rent is used to purchase $CATBAT, which is returned to the user. ClaimMyCATBAT is not a revenue source for the CATBAT project and charges no project fee; it simply cleans up the user's wallet while they gain $CATBAT.
CATBAT Vault
CATBAT Vault is the governance and staking hub of the ecosystem. By staking $CATBAT, holders gain access to exclusive ecosystem features and participate in community governance and shape the future direction of the project. Vault details will be confirmed at launch.
Community Governance: $CATBAT stakers gain a voice in ecosystem decisions, from feature priorities to partnership proposals.
Exclusive Access: Staking unlocks premium features across CATBAT tools and future ecosystem products.
Ecosystem Participation: Vault holders are at the centre of CATBAT's long-term growth and reward mechanisms.
CATBAT Academy

$CATBAT Token
$CATBAT is the native token of the CATBAT ecosystem, built on Solana. It serves as the backbone of ecosystem access, governance, and community rewards, embodying the project's commitment to transparency and trust.
Launch: Launched on Moonit (formerly Moonshot) in November 2024 via bonding curve, no pre-sale, with ownership renounced and maximum supply capped at 1 billion tokens. The original developer took a ~5% creator allocation (locked one year via Jupiter Lock, since fully vested and sold; 0% remains). The current team joined after launch, had no part in that allocation, and holds no allocation of its own; any $CATBAT held by team members was bought on the open market, like any other holder.
Burn Mechanism: Moonit's launchpad infrastructure includes an automated burn process. On Meteora, trading fees are collected partly in $CATBAT, and that token-denominated portion (the sell side) is automatically burned by default. This is a built-in feature of the Moonit/Meteora protocol operating without team intervention. Any reduction in circulating supply is a technical consequence of the launchpad mechanics.
Liquidity Locked: Liquidity is permanently locked via Moonit/Meteora, reinforcing long-term stability and trust.
Governance: $CATBAT holders participate in community governance through CATBAT Vault.
Holder Benefits
Meteora Airlock Distribution: The Moonit/Meteora Airlock is a third-party protocol mechanism that airdrops the SOL-denominated portion of accrued trading fees to the current top 50 wallets by $CATBAT holdings, snapshotted just before each daily airdrop. Because these rewards come entirely from trading fees, they depend on trading volume and can be small or zero during periods of low activity. This is a function of the Moonit launchpad infrastructure, not a feature designed or controlled by the CATBAT team, and it does not constitute a financial return or investment yield.
Permanent Liquidity Locks: Liquidity is permanently locked via Moonit/Meteora, reinforcing trust and long-term stability.
Token Burn (Moonit Mechanism): Moonit's launchpad infrastructure includes an automated burn process. The token-denominated portion of trading fees (the sell side) is automatically burned by default, removing those $CATBAT from circulation. This is a built-in feature of the Moonit/Meteora protocol and operates without any intervention from the CATBAT team. The resulting reduction in circulating supply is a technical consequence of the launchpad mechanics, not a deliberate price management strategy.
CATBAT Vault: CATBAT Vault is planned as a governance and ecosystem participation hub. Details on any associated features will be confirmed at launch. Nothing here constitutes a commitment to specific functionality or returns.

MOONIT · METEORA · AIRLOCK
Moonit is the launchpad where $CATBAT launched. Meteora is the DEX where the liquidity pool lives. The Airlock is the Moonit mechanism that permanently locks LP tokens on Meteora and, every 24 hours, airdrops whatever SOL-denominated trading fees have accrued to the top 50 holders, proportionally by percentage of total supply held, with the top 50 snapshotted just before each airdrop. Rewards come only from trading activity, so during quiet periods with little or no volume, payouts can be minimal or nothing. No staking required. The CATBAT team has no control over this mechanism.
Example: Buying $CATBAT with 1 SOL
1% Dynamic Fee deducted. You receive 0.99 SOL worth of $CATBAT.
0.008 SOL (LP Fee) goes to Airlock Pool.
0.002 SOL (Protocol Fee) goes to Meteora.
Example: Selling $CATBAT for SOL
1% Dynamic Fee deducted. You receive 0.9801 SOL.
0.00792 SOL (LP Fee) is permanently burned.
0.00198 SOL (Protocol Fee) goes to Meteora.
Distribution and Utility
$CATBAT launched on Moonit in November 2024 via bonding curve, with token access open to everyone on the same terms. The original developer received a creator allocation of roughly 5% of supply (about 49.4M $CATBAT), locked for one year via Jupiter Lock; it has since fully vested and been sold, and 0% remains today. The current team joined after launch and had no part in that allocation. It now maintains all project assets, including the original creator wallet and the social channels, and holds no allocation of its own; any $CATBAT held by team members was bought on the open market at market price, like any other user.
$CATBAT trades on Meteora, with swap routing available through Jupiter (jup.ag), where $CATBAT is Jupiter-verified. The only official contract address is mo7mapMrCsyci5w1td1wgrKPtNeCfjfkKi96DknWi5N; tokens using the CATBAT name on other pools or launchpads are not affiliated with this project. It is tracked on DEXScreener and CoinGecko.
