# OVERVIEW

**What is Golden Cat Token?**

Golden Cat Token (**$GCT**) is an innovative ecosystem that combines blockchain technology with gaming to empower users to contribute to environmental conservation in a meaningful way. Built on the TON blockchain, **$GCT** bridges two massive markets: the mobile gaming industry and the vast Telegram user base, providing both entertainment and an opportunity to make a real-world impact. It all begins with a mission to protect the endangered Asian Golden Cat.

**Why the Asian Golden Cat?**

The Asian Golden Cat, a rare and valuable symbol of biodiversity, resides in the forests of Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, habitat destruction and poaching have pushed this majestic species toward extinction. **$GCT** carries its name not only to honor its significance but also to reflect the "golden" opportunities offered to participants within the ecosystem.
