Catecoin Telegram, official channels and the CATE room
The official Catecoin channels for CATE on Solana, the verified mint and launch facts, and the CATE Holders room on Cherry gated by a CATE balance.
Catecoin (CATE) is a meme coin on Solana, launched on pump.fun on 26 July 2026 under the mint Ai66LHZG9MCzg1WKdawwqduVAXpNDUuV8M3uyq5ppump, the address Jupiter, CoinMarketCap and the project’s site all print. The official Catecoin Telegram group is t.me/catecoin_telegram, linked from cate.meme beside the X account CateonSol_. Cherry (cherry.fun) is a wallet-to-wallet messenger and community app for crypto: you sign in with a wallet, DM any wallet address, and join group chats whose membership is read from the chain. This page covers what CATE is, the 2021 coin sharing its ticker, and the CATE Holders room Cherry opened on 13 September 2026.
It is a Token-2022 mint with 6 decimals. On 13 September 2026, 964,158,729 CATE were outstanding across 120,045 holder wallets, for a market cap near $54.1 million; CoinMarketCap, which listed the token on 19 August 2026, ranked it 353rd that day.
What CATE is
A fair-launch memecoin with a cat story and no company behind it. The site sells CATE as “the cat sister of Dogecoin”, ending on its tagline: “Eight lives were hers. The ninth is yours.” It also states the token is a community project with no affiliation to the Dogecoin project or Foundation.
Four claims carry it, in the project’s own words: born on pump.fun with no presale and no team allocation; supply sealed at one billion with the mint authority revoked; the liquidity pool burned; zero buy and sell tax. The chain backs what can be read from it: Jupiter shows mint and freeze authority disabled, marks the mint verified, and dates the first pool to 26 July 2026 at 16:24 UTC, the bonding curve graduating eight minutes later.
Utility is thin by design, and the project says so: the site calls CATE a meme coin with no intrinsic value and no expectation of return. The one thing built around it is CATE Academy at academy.cate.meme, free crypto lessons and raffles.
The 2021 CateCoin that shares the ticker
Two tokens answer to CATE, and searchers land on the wrong one constantly. CateCoin, at catecoin.com, is a 2021 BNB Smart Chain token at contract 0xe4fae3faa8300810c835970b9187c268f55d998f, built around a meme-posting app that paid creators and holders a share of transactions. It still trades, ranked 1,493rd by CoinGecko on 13 September 2026, and has nothing to do with the Solana Catecoin above.
Where the Catecoin Telegram and the other channels are
cate.meme is the only page that vouches for a channel, and it links two: the Telegram group at t.me/catecoin_telegram and the X account CateonSol_. No Discord is listed there as of 13 September 2026, so any Catecoin Discord, second Telegram or support account is unconfirmed.
Open Telegram is where that gap gets worked. A group copies the name and the cat avatar, a stranger DMs a link asking you to connect a wallet, someone fakes a screenshot of a balance. The contract ends in “pump” like every pump.fun mint, so one swapped character in a pinned message still looks right. Checking whether a crypto Telegram group is official is manual work, and a member list says nothing about who holds what.
CATE holders on Cherry
Cherry opened a CATE Holders room at chat.cherry.fun/@cate on 13 September 2026. Cherry created it and runs it: this is Cherry’s holders room, not the token’s channel, and Cherry is not affiliated with the CATE team. Entry is one token balance rule against the mint above, minimum 1 CATE, so any holder qualifies. That day it was public, with 73 members and no reviews.
Members are checked against the chain by the app, so nobody DMs you a verification link. Token-gated chat covers the rule types and the all or any logic. Holdings are re-checked in the background, and a wallet that sells out of CATE is paywalled: it stays a member, with the room in its chat list and the content withheld until a later check passes. From the room you can DM any wallet address , including wallets that never opened Cherry, and trade in the chat : type the ticker, and the message renders a token card with price and market cap. Size that would move a $2.2 million pool belongs in OTC escrow in the Cherry mobile app, which settles both legs at once. An airdrop campaign can pay the wallets the rule already admits.
How to create a CATE-gated room
- Open chat.cherry.fun and sign in with a Solana wallet: it signs a message, nothing goes on-chain, no gas.
- Create a public group with a name, description and handle, so it gets a storefront page.
- Add a token balance requirement, paste the mint
Ai66LHZG9MCzg1WKdawwqduVAXpNDUuV8M3uyq5ppump, and confirm the symbol resolves to Catecoin. - Set the minimum: 1 CATE admits any holder, while 100,000 CATE was about $5,600 on 13 September 2026.
- Up to five rules fit under all or any logic, so a cat-NFT collection rule can sit beside the balance.

Risks and disclaimers
CATE is seven weeks old, its site names no team, and the ticker collides with an older coin on another chain, so read the mint off an explorer before gating anything by it. A balance rule proves a wallet held the minimum when the check ran, not that its owner is honest, so scam links still need mods who can mute and ban. Group chats on Cherry are not end-to-end encrypted, by design, so moderation and bots can work; DMs are. The figures above move constantly. Nothing here is financial advice. Tokens can lose value.
FAQ
What is the official Catecoin Telegram?
cate.meme links one Telegram group, t.me/catecoin_telegram, and one X account, CateonSol_. No official Discord is listed there as of 13 September 2026, so treat any Catecoin Discord invite as unconfirmed.
Is this the same CATE as the 2021 CateCoin?
No. The 2021 CateCoin is a BNB Smart Chain token at contract 0xe4fae3faa8300810c835970b9187c268f55d998f, with its own site at catecoin.com. The CATE here is a separate Solana token launched on pump.fun on 26 July 2026; the two share only a ticker.
Is the CATE Holders room on Cherry run by the Catecoin team?
No. Cherry created and runs it, and Cherry is not affiliated with the CATE team. It is Cherry’s holders room for any wallet that passes the balance check, and nothing posted in it speaks for the project.
What is the CATE mint address on Solana?
Ai66LHZG9MCzg1WKdawwqduVAXpNDUuV8M3uyq5ppump, a Token-2022 mint with 6 decimals. Jupiter, CoinMarketCap and the project’s site print the same address; read it off an explorer before pasting it anywhere.
What happens to my room access if I sell my CATE?
Holdings are re-checked on-chain in the background, and a wallet that drops below 1 CATE is paywalled: it stays a member with the room in its chat list, content withheld, and a later passing check or the Re-check button restores it with no re-join.
