About MCV
Every cat has its own personality. That simple idea, shared between three friends who loved digital art, was the beginning of Mars Cats Voyage (MCV). We blend eye-popping original art with a touch of pop culture to create unique digital collectibles. The result? A thriving community brought together by a shared passion. Come find your cat and join the voyage.

Mars Cats Specs & Facts
OG Digital Collectibles from Summer 2021. They caught the eye of many top celebrities, models, athletes, and art collectors.
Each Mars Cat is uniquely generated from over 200 traits, ensuring no two are exactly alike, with a unique spacesuit claim process across 15 different models.
MCV is integrated with a growing list of major games like Otherside, Nifty Island, Pixels, Sandbox, and Alternates with exclusive quests and collectible items.
All 10,000 were minted on the Ethereum blockchain, ensuring secure and verifiable ownership.
MCV spans multiple chains: Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Bitcoin (Ordinals), ApeChain, and Ronin — a true cross-chain ecosystem.
MCV’s ecosystem uses $CREAM (loyalty/governance), $ISLAND (gameplay), and $APE (liquidity) in a tri-token architecture with no transaction costs on $CREAM.
