How can I get access to $CATHEON tokens?

- From the 31st of October onwards, the $CATHEON token will be able to be purchased on the DEX and subsequently on several CEXs as approval is received
When will the $CATHEON token be tradable?
- The tokens will be available to trade on the same day the swap dashboard will be released on 31 October 2022. The token will be initially available on a DEX and we will aim to get it listed on a CEX as soon as we get approval
What will the vesting schedule and distribution be for $CATHEON?
- $CATHEON inherits the cliff and vesting schedule of $CHICKS. Refer to the Catheon Gaming Ecosystem whitepaper for further details https://catheongaming.com/papers.
- 50% of swappable $CHICKS will be immediately available, 50% vested daily over 12 months
What market capitalisation will $CATHEON launch at?

Will Catheon Gaming be seeding liquidity on decentralized exchanges at launch?

Why should I contribute to LP pool incentives and yield farm?
- Contributing to LP pools on DeFi protocols helps provide sufficient liquidity for other users in the community to transact between $CATHEON and their associated pairs on DEXs. Other than the benefit to the community, LPs will also earn fees on all trades proportional to the share of the pool provided and additional rewards dependent on the DEX

- $CATHEON transactions that are made via the DEX will incur a 5% transaction fee. This transaction fee will not occur when purchasing via a CEX
- A transaction fee has been included in the $CATHEON token to promote supply deflation. The transaction fee will be used for adding to DEX liquidity to ensure that tokens are able to be sold without price impact, and staking rewards, among other things
Will you have staking?
- Yes, staking will be made available in due course
Where do I find more information about a specific topic in the whitepaper?

Eligibility to swap for $CATHEON
Who is eligible to receive $CATHEON?
- All holders of $CHICKS (subject to any blacklisting) as at the snapshot date of 1PM UTC 13/10/22 are eligible to swap their $CATHEON from $CHICKS tokens up to the limit of their holding as at the snapshot
- $CHICKS holders will need to hold their $CHICKS balance through to the 31st of October, otherwise, they will not be eligible for the swap. This means if you sell your $CHICKS tokens during this period, you will not be eligible for the swap
How does the snapshot work? If I buy $CHICKS after the snapshot, am I eligible?
- We will be recording on-chain wallets holding $CHICKS tokens, wallets who have staked $CHICKS on our staking platform, and wallets providing liquidity at a DEX at 1PM UTC 13/10/22. We are also working with CEXs to record holdings on the snapshot date
- Purchase of $CHICKS after the snapshot will not entitle you to $CATHEON
How many $CATHEON tokens am I eligible to claim?
- $CHICKS holders as at the snapshot date are able to claim 1 $CATHEON token for each $CHICKS held at the snapshot date
- The total supply of each token will remain unchanged so this will be an effective 1-for-1 swap into the new $CATHEON token
- If you sell your $CHICKS, you will not be eligible to swap for $CATHEON tokens
What if I sell my $CHICKS after the snapshot is taken?
- Wallet addresses must have the same amount of $CHICKS as they did when the snapshot is taken to be eligible to claim $CATHEON
- If you sell your $CHICKS, you will not be eligible to swap for $CATHEON tokens
What if I buy $CHICKS after the snapshot is taken?
- If you are not a holder when the snapshot is taken and subsequently purchase $CHICKS, you will not be eligible for $CATHEON tokens
How do I participate in the snapshot if I'm currently farming liquidity pool tokens?
- We are working with the DEXs and will be taking a snapshot of LP token holders to ensure all $CHICKS holders are counted. There is no need to unstake in order to be eligible.
Swapping for $CATHEON
Where can I swap my $CHICKS to $CATHEON?
- On-chain $CHICKS holders can convert $CHICKS to $CATHEON at our swap dashboard from 31/10/22 1pm UTC
- The dashboard can be found here: https://swap.catheongaming.com/
- If you hold $CHICKS on a participating CEX (e.g. Gate.io or MEXC), you will receive an airdrop of $CATHEON in exchange for your existing balance of $CHICKS
- If you sell your $CHICKS, you will not be eligible to swap for $CATHEON tokens
How does it work if my $CHICKS are currently on a centralised exchange (CEX), such as MEXC or Gate.io?
- Given the restrictions presented by the CEXs, we will be working alongside the exchanges to perform a snapshot. All $CHICKS that are held on the exchanges will be swapped to the $CATHEON token. 50% will be airdropped immediately and the remaining 50% will be distributed in quarterly linear installments over 12 months.
- It is advised that any $CHICKS on exchanges are transferred to a Solana wallet address at the time of the snapshot. This is important if you would like to have daily vesting (instead of quarterly vesting) or if for whatever reason you do not want to swap into $CATHEON
- The only two current official CEX’s are MEXC and Gate.io. We do not hold responsibility if your $CHICKS are held on other exchanges
What happens if you have unvested tokens?
- Unvested tokens will continue to vest as $CHICKS, which can subsequently be converted to $CATHEON through the normal claiming process
- Tokens that are unvested as of the snapshot date will not be subject to additional vesting requirements when used to claim $CATHEON
What should I do if I have staked tokens?
- We will be treating your number of claimable $CATHEON as if you had unstaked on the day of the snapshot, regardless of the penalty for early unstaking
- For tokens in locked pools, you will need to wait for the staking period to end before claiming $CATHEON
- For tokens staked in the flexible pools, you can unstake at any point to complete the conversion
- The portal for claiming will remain open to accommodate all parties who have staked tokens. $CHICKS holders will not be able to commence any new staking of tokens
What should you do if you have tokens staked in a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange, such as Orca?
- You can leave you tokens where they are in the liquidity pool. We are working with the DEXs and have access to the underlying addresses that staked the tokens.
Will all my $CATHEON be available when I swap my $CATHEON?
- No, 50% of the $CATHEON tokens will vest over a 12-month period from the day of swap. The remaining 50% will be immediately available
- Any currently unvested $CHICKS tokens will be immediately swappable fully into $CATHEON tokens when they are vested
- We want to ensure that the price of the $CATHEON token is sustainable as we are not doing a private sale / public sale with vesting and hence all tokens would otherwise be unlocked Day 1
- While you can try to purchase on the DEX post-launch to avoid vesting, however, our general experience is that there are substantial price increases immediately upon the listing of a new token (for reference, $CHICKS increased ~20x immediately upon listing)
- Note that $CHICKS tokens that are not vested right now will not incur any additional vesting
Why can't I swap for $CATHEON on the swap dashboard?
- If you have sold $CHICKS anytime from the snapshot you are not eligible to swap for $CATHEON
- Please submit a query at this form: https://forms.gle/sG688e8yhrNTbgN97
How will SolChicks be affected?
Will I still be able to trade $CHICKS post snapshot?
- Additional purchases of $CHICKS post-snapshot will NOT BE eligible for the $CATHEON swap. Furthermore, any selling of $CHICKS post-snapshot will also result in not being eligible for the $CATHEON swap
- As such, we will be working with the CEXs to suspend trading of $CHICKS post-snapshot prior to the dashboard going live and we will be strongly discourage trading on any DEXs
- Users will be able to swap their $CHICKS token for $CATHEON on the swap dashboard on the 31st of October
What happens to my $CHICKS tokens?
- All swapped $CHICKS tokens will be burnt
- Users will have to swap their $CHICKS token for $CATHEON on the swap dashboard
What happens if I hold SolChicks NFTs?
- The SolChicks NFT’s will remain as on Solana for now
What will happen to the SolChicks functionality currently available?
- The SolChicks mini-game will continue to operate as is on Solana
- The staking functionality and NFT breeding functionality will be paused temporarily during the transition
