Azuki-backed ANIME coin gears up for January 2025 launch

by

As a forward-thinking crypto investor, I eagerly anticipate the launch of ANIME coin in January 2025. Notably, this digital asset will be deployed on both Ethereum and Arbitrum networks. Intriguingly, nearly 50.5% of the total supply will be allocated to our community, while more than 20% is earmarked for the team, advisors, and the company itself. This distribution strategy underscores the emphasis on community involvement and collaboration in the ANIME project.

Approximately 10 months following the debut of the web3 network based on anime, AnimeChain, the Animecoin Foundation is planning to release its community’s native token, ANIME, on Ethereum (ETH) and Arbitrum (ARB). As stated in their official announcement, this upcoming token aims to provide power to the anime fanbase, its creators, and establish an “open anime universe”.

In their blog post, Anime Coin referred to ANIME as a ‘Culture Token’. This term represents a grassroots initiative aimed at converting the global fanbase of 1 billion anime enthusiasts into a collective, community-driven platform for creativity.

The Animecoin community is supported by both the Arbitrum Foundation and renowned NFT brand Azuki. Consequently, those who hold the token include not only members of the Animecoin community but also partner communities like the Hyperliquid Community (HYPE stakers), Kaito yappers community, and various Arbitrum communities as well.

The ticker is $ANIME. January 2025.

Despite no confirmed launch date being disclosed as of now, the Animecoin Foundation has readied a grand total of 10 billion ANIME tokens, with an initial supply in circulation set at approximately 7.69 billion ANIME.

Approximately half of the total token supply is designated for the community, with 37.5% earmarked as rewards for early supporters of Animecoin, and 13% set aside for Community Development purposes within AnimeDAO to finance community rewards and projects. Additionally, a distinct 2% allocation is intended for partner communities.

As a researcher, I’d like to highlight that approximately a quarter (24.44%) of the token supply is allocated to the Animecoin Foundation. This organization will channel these funds towards grant programs and various projects aimed at fostering connections between Anime Coin and the expansive anime industry. Interestingly, the heading for this section, Domain Expansion, is a tribute to Jujutsu Kaisen’s Gojo Satoru, a renowned character who employs an advanced sorcery technique called ‘Domain Expansion’.

Conversely, 15.62% of the total token supply is set aside for the Azuki team, contractors, and advisors. Approximately 67% of these tokens will not become accessible until more than three years have passed, while 33.33% will be available after one year.

Furthermore, during its launch, Azuki Company acquires 7.44% of the total token supply. Similarly, both the company’s Anime coin holders and the tokens held by the community are subject to the same unlocking schedule: a three-year period with a one-year cliff, meaning that Anime coin holders cannot access their tokens until one year has passed, while community members will have full access to their tokens immediately upon launch.
