Azuki, a renowned NFT project, has announced the upcoming launch of the cryptocurrency project AnimeCoin slated for this month. The launch will occur on Ethereum and Arbitrum platforms, although exact dates are yet to be revealed.
The Vision Behind AnimeCoin
AnimeCoin promises to transform the anime ecosystem into a community-owned creative economy, allowing fans to become more than just viewers. AnimeCoin’s mission is clear: to engage the world’s 1 billion anime fans by turning them from passive consumers into active participants and creators of content, whether it’s art, fashion, music, or gaming.
Tokenomics: How AnimeCoin Will Be Distributed
The tokenomics model of AnimeCoin aims to ensure fairness and inclusiveness for the entire anime community. The tokens will be distributed as follows: * Community: 50.5% of the total supply will be directed to the community. * Azuki Community: 37.5% is reserved for early supporters. These tokens will be fully unlocked at launch, with any unclaimed tokens going into the Community Cultivation fund. * Community Cultivation: 13% will be managed by the community via AnimeDAO. * Domain Expansion: 24.44% of resources will be allocated to the Animecoin Foundation. * Partner Communities: 2% is reserved for anime communities and stakers. * Team and Advisors: 15.62% will go to Azuki employees and advisors with a three-year vesting period and a one-year cliff. * Company: 7.44% will be allocated to Azuki to support AnimeCoin’s growth.
Collaboration with Industry Leaders
Azuki’s collaboration with the Arbitrum Foundation and the Weeb3 Foundation forms the basis for AnimeCoin. This initiative aims to build a decentralized platform for joint consumption and creation of anime content. Azuki founder Alex Xu, known as Zagabond, emphasizes that the fragmented nature of the anime ecosystem requires integration. There are rumors of a possible collaboration with the popular anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen'.
Azuki's AnimeCoin aims to unite the anime community through blockchain technology and innovative fan and creator engagement approaches.
