On June 7, MEET48, the world's first AI-Agent and AIUGC creator and fan economy ecosystem community focused on the entertainment field in Web3.0, announced that it will soon launch the $IDOL airdrop plan. The $IDOL airdrop query page will officially go live on June 9, 2025, at 3:00 UTC, marking a key step into the new era of Web3 entertainment.
The airdrop eligibility snapshot was completed on May 21 at 16:00 UTC, covering users who interacted with the MEET48 ecosystem, partner communities, special contributors, active users of Mars Protocol, creators, the top three of 'The Mars Audition for Best3 AI-MEME', and NFT holders in the ecosystem. Users can log in to the airdrop page through their wallet address, email, or account ID to check their eligibility and amount. After the TGE, the first airdrop will be opened immediately, valid for 14 days, after which it will be considered automatically forfeited. The $IDOL obtained from the airdrop can be used to participate in the first Web3.0 Global Idol Annual Popularity Grand Final (The 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony, referred to as WIPA) voting. If users choose to use the portion of votes that have not yet been unlocked, it will be regarded as voluntarily forfeiting the subsequent linear unlocking rights of that portion of tokens. According to the rules, 50% of the airdrop share will be released at the TGE, and the remaining portion will be unlocked linearly in 6 monthly installments starting 6 months later. For more details, please follow the official MEET48 X account.
In April this year, MEET48 officially announced that it had obtained token financing from numerous professional institutions and individuals, including Liang Xinjun, co-founder of Fosun Group, Hash Global, HashKey Capital, and Animoca. The new funds will be used to develop its team and related products. In May, MEET48 officially received a comprehensive cryptocurrency compliance license issued by the Anjouan Overseas Management Authority (Anjouan International Cryptocurrency License), achieving a landmark milestone in building a transparent and trustworthy Web3 idol ecosystem.
MEET48, as a leading entertainment application in the BSC ecosystem, successfully created a series of innovative entertainment ecosystems that integrate idols and blockchain technology in 2024. Through multiple online and offline events, it continuously ignites fan enthusiasm and becomes an important engine for upgrading the fan economy, with its fan interaction and content creation models attracting widespread attention in the industry. Data shows that during the MEET48 GIPR2 voting event, the peak on-chain voting from global fans reached 537,000 daily active users, a figure equivalent to 11 times the capacity of a full concert at Tokyo Dome in Japan. In just 30 days, over 31.54 million transactions were generated on the MEET48 Dapp, earning the number one rank multiple times on DappBay Social, setting unprecedented records in the Web3 entertainment field. With these dazzling figures, MEET48 successfully made it into the BNB Chain MVB Season 8 Accelerator Program.
It is worth noting that the first Web3.0 Global Idol Annual Popularity Grand Final (The 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony, referred to as WIPA) will kick off this June. MEET48 has formed a global strategic partnership with this year's SNH48 GROUP Annual Youth Ceremony to jointly hold a reporting and awards ceremony on August 2 at the AsiaWorld-Expo Arena in Hong Kong, China. This is a pioneering attempt to introduce blockchain mechanisms into the idol selection system worldwide, where SNH48 GROUP members, primarily from Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Asian countries and regions, along with real idols, AI Agent groups, and representative combinations from the virtual realm, will participate in this crowning ceremony filled with unknowns and glory.
In the future, the MEET48 ecosystem community will provide users with a one-click customizable virtual idol AI Idol-Agent, enabling multiple functions such as chatting, live streaming, and virtual performances, while efficiently generating AI graphic text, songs, and dance content using globally leading AIGC technology in the virtual music and dance vertical field. Additionally, the community will offer AI-exclusive creation tools AIShowBOX, supporting in-depth creations such as 3D image customization and intelligent choreography, helping users with automated operations and global dissemination of Idol-Agent. The community's supporting MEME cultivation and launch platform MarsProtocol will soon be launched on the BNB chain, providing a tokenized trading platform for MEME creators and offering AI creator sources for the entire ecosystem community.
The AI-Agent graphical social base of the MEET48 ecosystem community, the MEET48 Metaverse, and two large casual social blockchain games, AI-Audition (AI Dance Troupe) and MonopoliFi (Chain Tycoon), will also be launched successively, utilizing the same governance token for community incentives and governance. The MEET48 ecosystem community advocates the concept of UGC content creation and the value growth of popularity cultivation through a supporting token, aiming to provide users with a platform for content cultivation as a replacement for random hot topics and value investment as a replacement for capital speculation in the healthy development of Web3.0.
