While little has changed with Bitcoin and Ethereum, Toon is a leader in the digital currency space

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and most of Asia’s major cryptocurrencies were little changed as the region began the workweek. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), a measure of the largest digital assets, fell 0.43 percent.

The price of Toon rose 5.6 percent as HashKey announced its partnership with the project.

Hashkey will provide legal advice and technical support for the operation of Katizen’s blockchain infrastructure and collaborate on initiatives within its ecosystem to improve Katizen’s gaming experiences. Catizen is a Telegram-based gaming platform that features several cat-themed mini-games.

Benelbaz, CEO of HashK Global, said in an email:

We are focused on your ecosystem to provide you with unique Web3 gaming experiences and help your ecosystem thrive and grow. He added that leveraging Telegram’s advantages to attract more developers is a significant opportunity for TON.

Tim Wang, Chairman of the Katzen Foundation, also added in an emailed statement:

Katizen seeks to go beyond the short lifecycle of typical games by harnessing the untapped potential of Web3 and aims to create a lasting impact through a strong community and by combining experienced game developers with experienced Web3 designers.

Wang wrote:

For many projects with incomplete product models, digital currency helps accelerate their demise. But in a project with a complete business model, digital currency can be the core of bottom-up development. Indeed, Catizen's user base and ecosystem are continually strengthened through strong symbolic incentives.
