# eCATX (Pre-Mining Token)

eCATX is a specific token for our pre-mining campaign.

During the pre-mining phase, liquidity providers earn `eCATX` (Early CATX) as rewards. Once the Catex TGE goes live, these tokens can be redeemed for a mix of `oCATX` and `veCATX`.

`eCATX` is designed to reward early adopters while balancing short-term liquidity and long-term protocol alignment—offering both flexibility and governance participation.
