Surprisingly, Floki has decided to cancel the CAT presale as some bad actors tried to bot the presale. The investment comes on the heels of Simon’s Cat Token’s airdrop initiative for Floki (FLOKI) holders.
CAT airdrop will distribute 315 billion tokens to Floki holders
The airdrop will distribute 315 billion CAT tokens (3.5% of the total supply) to eligible Floki holders.
To qualify for the airdrop, Floki holders must possess at least 400,000 FLOKI tokens on-chain. The distribution will be based on two snapshots, with the first taken on August 22, 2024, and the final one scheduled for August 29, 2024.
Floki holders can move or buy new tokens during the period of these snapshots. However, transferring them out will make the holders ineligible.
The timing of this investment is particularly noteworthy, as Simon’s Cat Token recently made its market debut with a listing on KuCoin on August 20, 2024. The token benefits from official support and IP rights from the original Simon’s Cat company, lending it a degree of legitimacy.

The initial presale, which sold out its $4.25 million hardcap 12 hours early, was marred by suspicious activity.
After revoking $223,815.20 worth of purchases from bad actors, a second presale attempt was also thwarted by sophisticated bot attacks that overwhelmed the launchpad website.
In response, Floki’s core team has decided to fund the airdrop from its treasury, paying the Simon’s Cat team the $223,815.20 they would have received from the second presale.

The airdrop will target 3,707 legitimate Champion tier users, each receiving approximately $55.345 worth of CAT tokens at presale valuation. Floki also identified and excluded 337 wallets associated with botting attempts.
