Chiru Labs, a digital asset incubation studio and the team behind the famous Azuki non-fungible token collection, announced plans to launch its non-fungible token currency "$ANIME" this month. The Azuki NFT team initially announced plans to launch the highly anticipated NFT coin in December last year. In this article, we will go into more details about the "$ANIME" NFT coin.
$ANIME will be launched in January 2025
In a blog post on January 13, the Azuki NFT team confirmed plans to launch the highly anticipated non-fungible token "$ANIME" in January 2025 through its ANIME x account.

Last year, the Azuki NFT team launched a new domain "Anime.com", which they firmly believe will become a new way to watch anime.
The details of the ticket for January 2025, $ANIME, are as follows.
Founded in 2021, Chiru Labs is a well-known Web3 studio focused on shaping the future of anime culture through narrative.

These cartoons are hand-drawn and computer-generated animations that typically contain colorful graphics, vibrant characters, and action-oriented plots.
Chiru Labs is home to numerous non-fungible token collections, including Azuki, a non-fungible token collection of 10,000 limited-edition anime-themed NFTs, Beanz, a collection of 19,950 limited-edition anime-themed NFTs, Azuki Elementals, a collection of 20,000 fixed-supply anime-themed NFTs, and Azuki Elementals Beanz, a collection of 5,387 unique NFTs hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network.
