Anime Foundation launches with Animoca Brands, MyAnimeList and San FranTokyo as partners.
According to a press release shared with Cryptonews.com, the Anime Foundation has announced its launch partners, including Animoca Brands, Animoca Brands Japan, MyAnimeList and San FranTokyo.
Building a Web3 Anime and Manga Community
The release stated that Anime Foundation is a community-driven cultural protocol for anime and manga, bridging both web2 and web3 platforms. The partnership aims to create new opportunities and experiences for fans, creators, studios, IP holders, anime and brands around the world.
Anime Foundation envisioned a future where anime and manga creators have better opportunities and rewards, distribution is more efficient, and fans have greater access to exclusive content and ownership in a global community.
The four partners are positioned to contribute to this vision. MyAnimeList and Animoca Brands Japan will use their industry networks and deep community involvement to attract talent and expertise from the traditional anime and manga industries.
On the other hand, Animoca Brands and San FranTokyo plan to use their broad 2eb3 ecosystems and blockchain technologies to create new opportunities for fan engagement.
Anime Foundation will also partner with Mocaverse, a growth network that includes Account, Identity, Reputation and PointFi systems developed by Animoca Brands.
Animoca Brands Japan has invested JPY¥300 million in MyAnimeList, one of the world’s largest anime and manga community sites and databases, with 16 million registered members.
“We are pleased to be a launch partner of Anime Foundation, which we see as the spearhead to champion anime culture worldwide,” said Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands.
“Anime Foundation has great potential to establish itself as a large universal network of on-chain identity, experiences and economies,” said Siu.
Using Mocaverse’s Anime ID
This collaboration leverages Mocaverse’s new Realm Network SDK to introduce Anime ID, a decentralized identification and reputation layer, to help users transition to web3. The project will develop new revenue generation models and community building initiatives using blockchain.
