What is ANIME?
ANIME is a culture coin that is set to launch on the Ethereum and Arbitrum layer-2 networks. The AnimeCoin Foundation, the entity behind ANIME, aims to create an open and decentralized anime universe by aligning the incentives of creators and fans.
When is ANIME Dropping?
ANIME will launch on January 23, 2025.
Who Will Get the ANIME Airdrop?
The ANIME token supply will be distributed in six distinct buckets, allocating more than 5 billion or 50% of the total supply to the Web3 community. The largest allocation of ANIME, 37.5%, is set aside for claiming by the Azuki community.
Azuki Community
The Azuki community will receive the largest allocation of ANIME, 37.5%, which is expected to be eligible for claiming by holders of all three significant NFT collections—Azuki, Azuki Elementals, and BEANZ Official.
Domain Expansion
The second-largest bucket of ANIME tokens is reserved for the AnimeCoin Foundation and its domain expansion efforts at 24.44%. This allocation serves to boost the growth of the ANIME ecosystem by funding “grant programs, launch operations, ongoing foundation operations, and initiatives designed to bridge the gap between AnimeCoin and the broader anime industry.”
Team and Advisors
The Azuki team, contractors, early advisors, and contributors to the AnimeCoin Foundation will receive 15.62% or 1.562 billion ANIME tokens. This group of tokens is subject to a one-year cliff, meaning they cannot be transferred or sold in the first year. The tokens will unlock over three years, and unlocked tokens can be sold after the one-year cliff.
Community Cultivation
A second community tranche is set aside for the “Community cultivation” bucket, comprised of 1.3 billion ANIME tokens or 13% of the total supply. Holders of ANIME tokens and participants of the eventual AnimeDAO will control this set of tokens, which can be used to fund community initiatives.
Company Allocation
An additional 7.44% of the supply is set aside for the Azuki company, beholden to a one-year cliff and three-year vesting period.
Partner Communities
A final 200 million ANIME tokens, or 2%, will be allocated for other Web3 communities, including Hyperliquid (HYPE) token stakers, users of analytics platform Kaito and its yaps program, Arbitrum communities, as well as as-yet-unrevealed projects that align with the AnimeCoin vision. Details about specific communities included in this allocation are expected soon.
How to Claim ANIME
No formal details have been provided about the ANIME claim, yet the AnimeCoin Foundation included a disclaimer that no new domains outside of anime.xyz will be used for the token generation event (TGE).
Conclusion
ANIME aims to create a new era for the anime industry by providing a culture coin that aligns the incentives of creators and fans. With its planned launch on January 23, 2025, the future of the anime universe is expected to be shaped by this new token.
