Azuki partners with Arbitrum to launch an anime-style meme token—ANIME, with a total issuance of 10 billion tokens and an initial circulation of 7.69 billion. The token is deployed on Ethereum and Arbitrum.

The distribution of the tokens is also quite interesting:

- 37.5% allocated to the Azuki community.

- 13% for community incentives and related programs supported by AnimeDAO.

- 24.44% allocated to the Animecoin Foundation.

- 2% for partner communities.

- 15.62% for the team and advisors (locked for one year, then 33.33% unlocked, with the remaining portion unlocked linearly).

- 7.44% for Azuki Inc. (also locked for one year, then similarly 33.33% unlocked, with the remaining portion released linearly).

Interestingly, Arbitrum's X (Twitter) avatar has been changed to Azuki's NFT avatar, directly indicating support.

Additionally, stakers of Hyperliquid (HYPE) will receive airdrop rewards of ANIME.

There are also rumors that Kaito yappers and the Arbitrum community may also receive airdrops.
