On January 30th, according to official news from MEET48, the world's first idol fan economy ecosystem based on Web3 and deeply integrating AI and UGC, 30% of the total voting revenue from the second "MEET48 Best7: Stage of Light" large-scale voting event, approximately 8.7 million IDOL tokens, were destroyed today. The hash of the address to which the tokens were transferred was announced: 0x8515b6c6f031b2e52206be1fa93b3707e168846b83e62dfc16ddcf4d20abb8aa.

This IDOL token burning plan aims to reduce the overall supply, increase token value, and further strengthen the MEET48 community. As an innovative pioneer in the Web3 entertainment industry, MEET48 is reshaping the global idol industry and fan economy through blockchain and AI.

It is reported that in the second "MEET48 Best7" competition, fans cast a total of 20,342,242 votes for their idols, generating a total voting reward of 28,995,200 IDOL tokens, accounting for 0.604% of the total IDOL token supply. The 8,698,560 IDOL tokens burned this time represent 30% of the total voting reward of the second "MEET48 Best7" competition and 0.181% of the total IDOL token supply.

As of the end of the event, according to DappBay data, the TXN of the MEET48 dApps reached 619.48K times and the number of active user addresses (UAW) reached 356.18K in the past 7 days. It became the number one dApp in the BSC ecosystem social track in terms of UAW ranking across the entire chain within 24 hours and the number one dApp in terms of UAW ranking in the BSC ecosystem within 7 days.

It is worth noting that MEET48 recently held the "MEET48 2026 AI Entertainment UGC Platform and Web3.0 Development Strategy Launch Conference" in Seoul, South Korea. The co-organizers included AIGC digital content creator L1 ecosystem POChain, AIUGC virtual idol music and dance simulation game Auditions GO (developed by the original operation and marketing team of "Audition"), Hash Global, Web3 Entertainment Alliance, and The Fan.

This press conference, combining online livestream and offline events, showcased MEET48's upcoming product launch plans to millions of users worldwide. These products will be released gradually in the first half of 2026 and include:

ParoAI: The core large language model of the MEET48 AI UGC ecosystem, planned for release in Q1 2026. It is used to understand creative intent and generate multimodal content, driving narrative, character and interactive experience. It has both intelligent collaboration and content engine capabilities, lowers the creative threshold and helps creators efficiently produce shareable high-quality content.
MEET48.ai: An AI UGC social community platform for idol fans, with a planned strategic upgrade in Q1 2026. Users can create and share AI-generated content based on ParoAI, showcase their work, interact, and collaborate in the community, transforming AI creation into a social experience that can be seen, received feedback, and recognized, and building an AI content ecosystem driven by community participation with idol culture at its core.
Auditions GO: The world's first AI-driven virtual idol rhythm and stage performance Web3 game built around the MEET48 idol ecosystem, planned for release in the first half of 2026. It was conceived and developed by the original operations and marketing team of "Audition". Players can create, nurture, and debut virtual idols using $IDOL through UGC tools, allowing music, movements, and styling to be performed on the blockchain. Virtual idols possess growth and companionship attributes, and user-created idol assets can be registered and traded on the BNB Chain. Driven by a proprietary training model based on MEET48/SNH48 historical performance data and music library, it aims to jointly build a community-driven next-generation Idolverse.
POChain: A fully sovereign, independently operating AIGC digital content L1 public chain tailored for Web3 creators and developers. It is fully compatible with BNB Chain at the EVM layer and aims to build a new generation of infrastructure for content creation. Jointly incubated by MEETLabs and the MEET Foundation, it establishes a swap pool between the official MEET48 token $IDOL and the public chain's native token $POC to absorb early-stage $IDOL investment value. The conversion to the public chain's native token $POC will be phased and limited according to time and ecosystem milestones. The POChain ecosystem will launch the following products in 2026 according to the roadmap:

POCSee.com: POChain's content display hub, showcasing text, audio, video, and AIGC content using unified standards. It builds a trustworthy, high-quality, and scalable content pool through on-chain value authentication. Relying on on-chain rights confirmation and traceability mechanisms, it records the source, author, and value status of content. Externally, it serves as the official display and distribution portal, while internally, it acts as the core hub for content discovery, filtering, and long-term preservation.
POCshow.ai: POChain's virtual idol trainee platform, which achieves creative consensus, voting and debut ownership based on a decentralized mechanism, and supports fan economy, revenue sharing and commercial operation.
POCmusic.com: POChain's decentralized music creation and distribution platform, integrating AI music and MV generation to provide creators with a one-stop solution from creation and copyright confirmation to distribution. Through on-chain authentication and decentralized mechanisms, it achieves a verifiable, circulated, and sustainable digital music ecosystem.
POCast.ai: POChain's decentralized audio content ecosystem platform, where creators can publish, manage, and monetize their content on-chain, ensuring copyright protection and transparent revenue sharing. Users can securely consume content, support creators, and acquire exclusive content or NFT rights.
