Animecoin, a new cryptocurrency project backed by Arbitrum and the Azuki NFT series, is set to launch this month. The project aims to create a blockchain ecosystem that supports the growth of anime culture. The tokenomics of Animecoin have been designed to prioritize community involvement and empowerment.
Tokenomics Breakdown
The total supply of Animecoin is 10 billion tokens, with 50.5% allocated to the community. Specifically, 37.5% will be given to the Azuki NFT community, while 13% will be reserved for “community cultivation.” Holders will manage this portion via AnimeDAO to fund community initiatives.
The Azuki company will receive 7.44% of the supply, with a three-year vesting period and a one-year cliff. Azuki employees, contractors, and advisors will receive 15.62% as “early contributors,” with the same vesting conditions.
The foundation will be allocated 24.44% of the supply for ecosystem growth, such as funding grant programs and supporting various operations at the foundation. The remaining 2% of the supply is set aside for other partner communities, including Hyperliquid, Kaito AI, and Arbitrum.
Community-Centric Approach
Animecoin’s tokenomics reflect a strong commitment to community-centric principles. The initial circulation supply will start at 7.69 billion tokens. The project is a collaboration between the Arbitrum Foundation, Azuki, and Weeb3 Foundation, to create a unified platform for anime culture.
Azuki Founder Alex Xu, also known as Zagabond, emphasized the fragmented nature of the anime culture experience and the need for a unified platform. “ANIME is a Culture Coin — a movement that transforms the anime fandom of 1 billion fans into a community-owned network of creativity,” the Animecoin Foundation stated.
With its community-centric tokenomics and strong backing from Arbitrum and Azuki, Animecoin is poised to significantly impact anime culture and the cryptocurrency landscape.
The project’s focus on empowering the community and fostering creativity differentiates it from other cryptocurrency initiatives. As the launch date approaches, the anime community eagerly anticipates the opportunities and innovations that Animecoin will bring.
