PANews reported on January 13 that according to the official announcement of ANIME, $ANIME tokens will be launched on Ethereum and Arbitrum in January 2025, with 50.5% allocated to the community. ANIME aims to transform the anime ecosystem into a community-owned creative economy through cooperation with decentralized brands such as Azuki, providing opportunities for more than 1 billion anime fans to participate. Members of communities such as Hyperliquid, Kaito and Arbitrum will be able to participate in the token claim, 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 for IP incubation through decentralized brand building, the creation of more than 100 sub-communities, global community activities, and rich fan creations. This collaboration includes the upcoming launch of Anime.com and the $ANIME token, which aims to transform anime fans from passive consumers to true owners of culture.
