According to a statement from ANIME, as reported by Jinse Finance, the $ANIME token will be launched on Ethereum and Arbitrum in January 2025, with 50.5% of the tokens being distributed to the community. ANIME aims to transform the anime ecosystem into a community-owned creative economy by partnering with decentralized brands such as Azuki, providing opportunities for over one billion anime fans to participate. Members of communities such as Hyperliquid, Kaito, and Arbitrum will be able to participate in token applications, and more details will be announced soon.

Azuki also announced a partnership with the Animecoin Foundation to jointly promote the construction of an open anime universe. The Azuki community has demonstrated the unique value of Web3 in IP incubation through decentralized brand building, the establishment of more than 100 sub-communities, global community activities, and rich fan creations. This partnership includes the upcoming Anime.com and $ANIME tokens, aiming to transform anime fans from passive consumers into true cultural owners.
