BITCAT

$BTCAT

In 2014, a Bitcoin miner hid a cat inside block 322,917 — drawn in plain ASCII text and left there for good. It was the first cat, and the first animal, ever put on a blockchain. This is that cat.

A CAT IN THE BLOCKCHAIN

No token, no roadmap, no coin. Just a miner proving you could put a drawing somewhere nobody could ever take it down — years before anyone said the word NFT.

The cat survives as entry 592 in the archive of messages miners left behind in the coinbase of their own blocks. It cannot be edited, delisted or deleted — it simply keeps getting confirmed, block after block, a decade later. $BTCAT brings that cat to Solana.
