ANIME Token Launches with Community-Centric Allocation Strategy for a Decentralized Anime Future

The ANIME token, a new cryptocurrency aimed at revolutionizing the anime space, is launching on the Ethereum and Arbitrum blockchains with a strong focus on community-driven initiatives and ecosystem development. Designed to empower both fans and creators, the token offers a decentralized means of participation in the growth of the anime industry, leveraging the scalable platforms of Ethereum (ETH) and Arbitrum (ARB).
The tokenomics behind ANIME were recently unveiled, detailing the allocation of its 10 billion total supply. The largest portion, 50.5%, will be allocated to grants and programs managed by the Animecoin Foundation. This funding will support creators, developers, and contributors working within the ecosystem to fuel its expansion.
A significant 37.5% of the total token supply is reserved for the Azuki community, recognized as early backers of the project. These tokens will be fully unlocked at launch, with any unclaimed tokens being transferred to the Community Cultivation Fund, which holds 13% of the supply. The Community Cultivation Fund will be governed by ANIME token holders via the forthcoming AnimeDAO, which will direct funds to community-led projects.
The Animecoin Foundation is allocated 24.44% of the token supply, which will be used to support ecosystem growth, operational expenses, and initiatives aimed at integrating Animecoin into the broader anime industry. Partner communities, including 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 unlocking schedule. A one-year cliff will apply, followed by incremental token releases over the subsequent two years. The Azuki corporation itself will hold 7.44%, with the same unlocking schedule in place.
Importantly, while most allocations for the Foundation, partner communities, and the Azuki community are fully unlocked at launch, team and corporate allocations will adhere to the set unlocking periods.
With its community-first approach to tokenomics, ANIME aims to establish a decentralized and participatory model where fans and creators can directly contribute to the growth of the anime industry. By integrating Ethereum and Arbitrum, ANIME ensures scalability, efficiency, and seamless interactions across its ecosystem.
