NEW YORK, July 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Troller Cat ($TCAT), an Ethereum-based meme coin project known for its gamified presale rollout, has officially entered Stage 14 of its ongoing token presale, themed around the viral 2009 'Balloon Boy Hoax.' The latest milestone brings total contributions past $350,000, marking significant progress in its 26-stage presale roadmap.
Each presale phase incorporates a viral or satirical reference to internet history, and Stage 14 continues that trend while introducing additional community-driven incentives. The token is now priced at $0.00009667, reflecting a 1833.4% increase from its Stage 1 price. As the project approaches its final presale phases, Troller Cat's team has also announced updates to its staking program and referral system to further enhance user engagement and participation.
New Milestones and Tokenomics Update
Since launching the first presale stage earlier this year, Troller Cat has steadily built momentum through a structured token release model. Each of the 26 stages is uniquely themed and tied to a set price increase. The listing price at the end of the presale has been set at $0.0005309, implying a projected return for participants who join before final stages conclude.
With over 372 billion total tokens and a 2-year liquidity lock in place, the project aims to implement a long-term deflationary token model. The deflationary mechanics will be supported by ad revenue from Troller Cat's upcoming Game Center and a token-burning protocol that gradually reduces circulating supply.
'We're not just aiming for virality; we're building a community experience that mirrors how internet culture evolves—spontaneously, with humor, but also with structure,' said a spokesperson from the Troller Cat development team.
69% APY Staking Introduced During Presale
Alongside the progression to Stage 14, Troller Cat has introduced a staking program offering up to 69% APY for participants who lock their tokens during the presale period. This initiative is designed to reward early backers and encourage longer-term holding behavior ahead of the token's listing on decentralized exchanges.
Unlike traditional staking protocols that launch post-ICO, the presale staking mechanism allows users to begin earning yield prior to listing, with rewards distributed upon token launch. The mechanism is non-custodial, meaning users retain ownership of their tokens while they are locked.
Referral Program Gains Traction
Troller Cat's referral rewards program has also seen expanded adoption. Any participant who contributes $25 or morein the presale unlocks access to a personalized dashboard where they can generate a unique referral code. When shared, both the referring user and the invitee receive an additional 10% in TCAT tokens, aligning community growth with token distribution.
According to the team, this structure has encouraged organic sharing and rapid user onboarding without relying on external promotional campaigns or influencer marketing. Instead, growth is fueled directly by the community through transparent and trackable incentives.
Gamified Presale Format
The current phase, 'Balloon Boy Hoax,' is one of several themed stages inspired by notable online hoaxes, pranks, and viral moments. Each new stage introduces updated visuals and minor platform tweaks while maintaining the project's overarching format. This approach aims to enhance community engagement and provide contextually rich milestones throughout the presale.
'This isn't just about memes—it's about digital culture, history, and creating a storyline that the crypto community can rally around,' the team spokesperson added.
With 12 presale stages remaining, each with an incrementally higher token price and decreasing token availability, the project expects to complete the presale within the next several weeks, depending on market participation and referral traction.
Community-Driven Approach
Troller Cat's whitepaper outlines plans for a post-launch ecosystem that includes: A Game Center integrating ad revenue sharing with token burns
integrating ad revenue sharing with token burns A liquidity lock mechanism to protect against early-stage volatility
mechanism to protect against early-stage volatility Governance tools to allow the community to vote on future stage themes and post-launch developments
The project has emphasized transparency and participation as core pillars of its strategy, publishing real-time presale metrics and circulating educational content to ensure users understand staking, referrals, and presale mechanics.
Token Allocation and Roadmap
The full token allocation includes: 40% allocated to presale
presale 10% to staking rewards
15% to ecosystem growth and development
20% to marketing and partnerships
15% reserved for centralized exchange liquidity and listings
Following the completion of Stage 26, Troller Cat is expected to list on Uniswap, where it will launch at the fixed price of $0.0005309. No new tokens will be minted post-launch, aligning with the deflationary structure and capped supply approach.
Key Figures Current Presale Stage: 14 of 26 ('Balloon Boy Hoax')
14 of 26 ('Balloon Boy Hoax') Token Price (Stage 14): $0.00009667
$0.00009667 Total Raised (as of July 19, 2025): Over $350,000
Over $350,000 Projected Listing Price: $0.0005309
$0.0005309 Maximum Token Supply: 372,000,000,000 TCAT
372,000,000,000 TCAT Liquidity Lock Duration: 2 years
2 years Staking Yield: Up to 69% APY
An example calculation provided by the project team illustrates that an investment of $35,000 at the current price would yield approximately 361,997,617 TCAT. If the token lists at its projected launch price, the value of that holding would be over $192,000, not including staking rewards.
Next Steps
The team has outlined the next steps in the roadmap, which include: Launch of the Troller Cat Game Center beta (Q4 2025)
NFT-based stage collectibles for early adopters (Q4 2025)
Expanded referral leaderboard and community reward programs
Uniswap listing targeted for completion shortly after Stage 26 ends
As the project transitions through the remaining 12 stages, it aims to build on its current momentum while introducing new platform features in tandem with community feedback.
