Azuki, a well-known NFT project, announces the launch of AnimeCoin, a new cryptocurrency project, this month. The launch is set to take place on Ethereum and Arbitrum, but exact dates are still pending.
The Vision Behind AnimeCoin
AnimeCoin (ANIME) aims to transform the anime ecosystem into a community-owned creative economy, enabling fans to become more than just viewers. AnimeCoin's mission is to transform the 1 billion anime fans worldwide from passive consumers into active participants and creators within the ecosystem. By leveraging blockchain technology, Azuki intends to empower fans to influence and create anime-related content, whether it's art, fashion, music, or gaming.
Tokenomics of AnimeCoin
The AnimeCoin project's tokenomics model aims to ensure fairness and inclusivity for the entire anime community. The ANIME token distribution is as follows: - Community: 50.5% of the total supply will go directly to the community. - Azuki Community: 37.5% is reserved for early supporters from Azuki’s community. These tokens will be fully unlocked at launch. - Community Cultivation: 13% will be managed by the community through AnimeDAO to support initiatives and projects. - Domain Expansion: 24.44% allocated to the Animecoin Foundation for funding grant programs. - Partner Communities: 2% reserved for anime communities and stakers. - Team and Advisors: 15.62% to Azuki employees and advisors, to be vested over three years. - Company: 7.44% allocated to Azuki as an ongoing contributor to AnimeCoin's growth.
Collaboration with Industry Leaders
Azuki's collaboration with the Arbitrum Foundation and the Weeb3 Foundation has laid the groundwork for AnimeCoin. This initiative aims to create a blockchain ecosystem to support and grow anime culture. Azuki founder Alex Xu, known as Zagabond, seeks to consolidate this fragmented ecosystem by bringing together a global network of creators, fans, and industry players. There are also rumors of potential collaboration with the popular anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen.'
The launch of AnimeCoin signifies a significant step towards transforming the anime ecosystem, aiming to engage a global community of fans and creators. Collaborations with industry leaders and promises to make the ecosystem more inclusive and accessible position AnimeCoin as a promising project in the market.
