Like a virtual slot machine inspired by Japanese gachapon toy vending machines, “Gacha Grab” tasks players with turning the dial to earn points and prizes, including one of eight digital Gachapons, each with a different reward level. Each spin in Gacha Grab costs 100 credits and awards one Gachapon collectible.
Created in partnership with the Azuki NFT Collection on Ethereum, Gacha Grab lets players earn credits for every Azuki, Elementals, or Beanz NFT they own. According to AnimeCoin’s announcement, participants in the first Bonus Quest in March will be eligible for 100 bonus credits.
Gachapon rarity, says AnimeCoin, comes in three tiers: Esteemed, Grand, and Legend. Players can form “squads” with multiple NFTs owned to increase their rewards, and “level up” their Azuki profile to potentially win rarer NFTs.

Starting April 6, the AnimeCoin Foundation said, there will be a 2x credit earning boost that will last for two weeks. Players can view their Gacha Grab standings on the leaderboard. The Foundation warned players that the Gachapons earned from NFT credits would be tied to the NFT in question and would be transferred to the new owner upon sale.
Launched in January 2022 by Los Angeles-based Chiru Labs, Azuki is a collection of 10,000 anime-themed NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. The project currently has a floor price (i.e. the starting price on a secondary marketplace) of 4.9 ETH, or approximately $14,550.
Founded in March by a consortium consisting of the Arbitrum Foundation, Weeb3 Foundation and Chiru Labs, AnimeChain aims to be a destination for anime-themed projects. It is built with Ethereum scaling technology from Arbitrum.
