Animecoin intends to sit at the intersection of meme coin culture and utility, empowering anime fans and creators alike to integrate with Web3 infrastructure. The project was launched in early 2025 with the goal of fostering a community of anime and manga lovers. The all-encompassing ecosystem includes anime.com, a news hub, streaming platform and NFT/crypto marketplace powered by the native ANIME coin.
The project developers have partnered with major names in the anime industry, including Azuki, which allows ANIME holders access to exclusive, pre-release content, merchandise and more.
Animecoin has also built Animechain, a ‘Layer 3’ network built atop Arbitrum, an application-specific protocol designed specifically to facilitate transactions and governance using ANIME.
