Azuki, a leading NFT project, has announced the launch of the cryptocurrency project AnimeCoin this month. The launch is planned on Ethereum and Arbitrum platforms, though exact dates have not been announced.
The Vision Behind AnimeCoin
AnimeCoin (ANIME) aims to transform the anime ecosystem into a community-owned creative economy. Azuki intends to empower the global billion-strong anime fanbase to become active participants and creators, influencing and creating content related to art, fashion, music, and gaming.
Tokenomics: How the AnimeCoin Will Be Distributed
The AnimeCoin project's tokenomics model aims to ensure fairness and inclusivity.
- **Community**: 50.5% of the total supply will be directly allocated to the community. - **Azuki Community**: 37.5% is reserved for Azuki's early supporters. - **Community Cultivation**: 13% will be managed by the community via an AnimeDAO. - **Domain Expansion**: 24.44% will go to the Animecoin Foundation. - **Partner Communities**: 2% is reserved for partner anime communities. - **Team and Advisors**: 15.62% will be allocated to Azuki employees and advisors. - **Company**: 7.44% will be allocated to Azuki.
Collaboration with Industry Leaders
Azuki's collaboration with the Arbitrum Foundation and the Weeb3 Foundation aims to create a supportive blockchain ecosystem for anime culture. This initiative seeks to offer a decentralized platform where fans can not only consume but also own and contribute to content.
Azuki founder Alex Xu, known as Zagabond, aims to consolidate the fragmented anime space, bringing together a global network of creators, fans, and industry players under one banner.
The launch of AnimeCoin marks a new phase in utilizing blockchain technology, potentially changing how anime fans interact with content and strengthening the community through new opportunities.
