What is ANIME on crypto?

ANIME or Animecoin is the native token of the Animecoin Foundation, the community backed by the Arbitrum Foundation and popular NFT brand Azuki. Dubbed the “culture coin of the anime industry,” the Animecoin ecosystem seeks to combine original IP works, mainstream distribution, and on-chain infrastructure that will grant the anime fandom power to further expand itself.

“The Animecoin ecosystem will provide a collaborative environment to democratize content creation. The Azuki IP will be the first of many native anime IPs providing the cultural energy that drives engagement across the blockchain-powered anime network,” wrote the community in a recent X post.

Additionally, Anime.com is set to be the first platform available on the Animecoin ecosystem.

The ANIME token will be used as a gas and governance token for Animechain, its anime-based web3 network set to go live in the first quarter of 2025. The project will bring in various anime-related content from original and third-party IPs, including games, merchandise, and NFTs.

The Animecoin foundation has prepared a total token supply of 10 billion ANIME tokens and an initial circulating supply of 7.69 billion ANIME.
