This initiative comes nearly 10 months after the introduction of AnimeChain, a web3 network designed for anime fans. The foundation aims to foster a “community-driven” open anime universe with this new token.
Described as a “Culture Coin,” ANIME aims to unite the global anime fandom of over 1 billion people into a decentralized network. It is backed by the Arbitrum Foundation and NFT brand Azuki, with a total supply of 10 billion tokens. Of these, 7.69 billion will be initially circulated, with 50.5% allocated to the community. This includes 37.5% of the Azuki community as early supporters and 13% for community initiatives under AnimeDAO. Partner communities will receive a 2% allocation as well.
The Animecoin Foundation will allocate 24.44% of the token supply for grant programs in the anime industry, known as “Domain Expansion.” The Azuki team, contractors, and advisors will receive 15.62% of the supply, with a vesting schedule of 67% unlocking over three years and 33% after one year. Additionally, Azuki company will get 7.44% under the same terms. Community members will have fully unlocked tokens at launch. The foundation aims to establish the ANIME token as a transformative tool in the anime industry, fostering a community-owned network that benefits creators and fans. The token launch is highly anticipated, though an official release date is yet to be announced.
Similarly, the Oasys blockchain has significantly impacted the anime and gaming communities with the official launch of a unique NFT-based soccer game inspired by the popular Japanese manga and anime series Captain Tsubasa. Announced on May 20, 2024, this game provides fans an exciting opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Captain Tsubasa through Web3 gaming.
