The ANIME coin is set to launch on Ethereum and Arbitrum in January 2025, with 50.5% of tokens dedicated to the community and over 20% allocated to the team, advisors, and the organization.
Following the successful launch of the anime-focused web3 network, AnimeChain, the Animecoin Foundation is introducing its native token, ANIME, on Ethereum (ETH) and Arbitrum (ARB). This initiative aims to empower the global anime fandom and its creators while fostering an “open anime universe.”
“ANIME is a Culture Coin — a movement that transforms the anime fandom, consisting of 1 billion fans, into a community-driven network of creativity,” according to a statement from the Animecoin Foundation.
The Animecoin community is supported by numerous organizations, positioning the token recipients among the community itself and affiliated groups, including the Hyperliquid Community, known as HYPE stakers, and the Kaito yappers community.
While an exact launch date is pending, the Animecoin Foundation has outlined a total token supply of 10 billion ANIME tokens, with an initial circulating supply of 7.69 billion ANIME.
Of the total token allocation, 50.5% will benefit the community, with 37.5% designated for the Azuki community as “early supporters” of Animecoin, and 13% reserved for Community Cultivation through AnimeDAO, aimed at funding various community incentives and initiatives. An additional 2% will be distributed to partner communities.
A total of 24.44% of the tokens has been allocated to the Animecoin Foundation, dedicated to grant programs and initiatives that bridge Animecoin and the broader anime industry. This segment, titled Domain Expansion, references the popular anime franchise Jujutsu Kaisen and its character Gojo Satoru, known for his advanced sorcery technique.
Meanwhile, 15.62% of the tokens will be allocated to the Azuki team, contractors, and advisors, with nearly 67% of their holdings subject to a three-year unlocking period, while 33.33% will unlock after one year.
Additionally, the Azuki organization will acquire 7.44% of the token supply, also following a three-year unlocking period with a one-year cliff. Community holders can expect their tokens to be fully accessible upon launch.
