Exploring the allocation and unlocking strategy of the ANIME token for a community-owned anime future.
The ANIME token, a new cryptocurrency in the anime space, is launching on Ethereum and Arbitrum with a focus on community-driven initiatives and ecosystem development.
The ANIME token is a blockchain-based project designed to provide fans and creators in the anime community with a way to participate in the growth of the industry. Using the scalable platforms Ethereum (ETH) and Arbitrum (ARB), the project creates a decentralized environment for engagement and collaboration within the anime ecosystem.
Recently, the tokenomics for the ANIME token were revealed, providing a detailed structure for how the 10 billion token supply will be allocated.
A large portion of the total supply, 50.5%, is allocated to grants and programs managed by the Animecoin Foundation. These funds will support creators, developers and other contributors engaged in the ecosystem.
Recognized as early backers, the Azuki community will receive 37.5% of the total token supply, all of which will be unlocked at launch. Any unclaimed tokens from this allocation will be transferred to the Community Cultivation Fund, which holds 13% of the total supply. This fund will be managed by ANIME token holders through the upcoming AnimeDAO, which will direct funds to community-driven projects.
The Animecoin Foundation will also receive 24.44% of the total supply, which will be used for ecosystem growth, operational costs, and various initiatives intended to integrate Animecoin into the broader anime industry. Partner communities, such as Hyperliquid (HYPE stakers) and Kaito Yappers, will receive 2% of the total supply.
Team members, contractors and Azuki employees will receive 15.62% of the total supply, with a three-year unlock schedule. There will be a one-year cliff, followed by incremental token releases over the remaining two years. The Azuki company will hold 7.44%, with a similar unlocking schedule.
The unlock schedule for other categories, such as the Foundation, Partner Communities, and the Azuki Community, will be fully unlocked at launch, making these tokens available immediately. However, team and company assignments are subject to the previously mentioned unlock periods.
With its community-centric tokenomics, ANIME seeks to provide a decentralized model that prioritizes participation from both fans and creators. The integration of ETH and ARB into the project aims to ensure scalability and transaction efficiency, enabling seamless interaction within the network.
