The Azuki-linked AnimeCoin Foundation is set to launch the ANIME token on Ethereum and Arbitrum with an airdrop. Here are the essential details.
The anime industry is booming, and is projected to grow to $60 billion by 2030. Yet, despite its massive popularity, the AnimeCoin Foundation sees a significant opportunity to tap into fans who have remained passive consumers of the art form.
Intending to build an open and decentralized anime universe, the AnimeCoin Foundation is launching ANIME, a token designed better to align incentives between creators and fans of the genre.
Here’s everything you need to know about ANIME before its launch, which is scheduled for Thursday.
What is ANIME?
ANIME is described as a "culture coin" dropping on Ethereum and the Arbitrum layer-2 network.
Launched by the AnimeCoin Foundation, ANIME will hold a total supply of 10 billion tokens, more than 50% of which will be given to the Web3 community, headlined by its premier launch partner, Azuki—a prominent NFT collection and crypto-native IP.
Of the 10 billion token supply, nearly 77% will be unlocked immediately for trading upon launch.
When is ANIME dropping?
The ANIME token will launch on January 23, 2025.
