Catex is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Uniswap v4 within the Unichain ecosystem, has launched a targeted airdrop campaign following the official release of its CATX token on July 15, 2025. The platform has allocated 3 million veCATX tokens for community distribution, with eligibility tied to UNI token holdings and liquidity activity on Unichain.
Catex operates as the primary DeFi infrastructure on Unichain and serves as the third MetaDEX release under the DefiZoo franchise — after Lynex on Linea and Ocelex on Zircuit. Built on top of Uniswap v4, it incorporates programmable Hooks and Automated Liquidity Management (ALM) to create an efficient liquidity system for users.
The protocol implements a ve(3,3) governance model, designed to reward long-term participation. veCATX holders receive all platform trading fees and governance incentives.
To drive user onboarding, the platform has allocated 3,000,000 veCATX tokens for airdrop distribution. Two main user groups are eligible:
Eligible participants can claim their veCATX tokens through the platform’s airdrop page. These tokens grant governance rights and a share of platform-generated fees.
The Catex ecosystem features a structured token system with three key types:
Users can earn EarlyCATX by staking LP tokens in pre-mining pools. These convert into a mix of veCATX and oCATX at token generation events. The protocol rewards long-term commitment — users who locked tokens during the IDO received up to 25% bonus CATX, depending on the duration of the lock (6, 12, or 24 months).
To improve airdrop eligibility and token earnings:
Catex has launched a pre-mining program offering high APRs to early liquidity providers. Users can stake LP tokens from eligible pools to earn EarlyCATX rewards ahead of the full platform launch.
The platform prioritizes UNI-based trading pairs due to their compatibility with Uniswap v4’s underlying infrastructure. Liquidity is optimized through ALM, reducing risks such as impermanent loss while boosting potential returns for providers.
Catex follows a ve(3,3) model, rewarding long-term participation with 100% of the platform’s trading fees. veCATX holders receive weekly distributions based on the amount and duration of their locked tokens.
Voting rights are tied directly to veCATX balances, giving token holders influence over protocol decisions, including fee structures and ecosystem integrations. Governance participants also earn additional incentives for casting votes in protocol proposals.
