What are you going to do with all that catnip?

We envision a world of play, one without limits.

Where ownership is real, and the things you create and discover, you can keep forever.

Where games can be entire economies, unlocking mutual incentives for players and builders to extend the gaming experience.

Where the world is built by everyone who chooses to be a part of it — especially you.

The future is meow.
