I just found out that the ANIME token from the Animecoin Foundation has been in the ecosystem for a while. Basically, it's a token on Ethereum and Arbitrum linked to Azuki, that NFT collection that's been building its own decentralized anime universe for years.
The interesting part is the distribution. Azuki received the majority of the airdrop (37.5%), so the holders of those NFTs benefited quite a bit. The total supply is 10 billion, and the idea is that ANIME holders can participate in governance and directly support creators. Like, it's a decentralized IP experiment.
The tokenomics are fairly distributed: the Azuki community gets 37.5%, the foundation 24.44%, the Azuki team 15.62%, and there are reserves for other Web3 communities. According to the data I saw, the market cap is around $27 million right now.
I don't know, the concept is cool. Anime is growing a lot (projecting $60 billion for 2030), and Azuki has shown it can build a community around NFTs. The token is just the next logical step. Is anyone else following this or is it just me?
