Hyperliquid said that HYPE token stakers would be eligible to receive an airdrop of ANIME, the token powering the open Anime universe.
The announcement came early Monday via a post on X (formerly Twitter), where Hyperliquid revealed its collaboration with ANIME. Azuki, a decentralized anime community, backs the Anime project.
Hyperliquid Announces Collaboration with Anime
Hyperliquid has garnered significant attention with its latest announcement, positioning HYPE stakers to receive ANIME token airdrops. ANIME’s official account elaborated on the project’s vision. It highlighted its mission to transform the anime ecosystem into a community-owned creative economy.
“HYPE stakers will receive an ANIME airdrop as part of their [Anime’s] TGE,” Hyperliquid’s post read.
Azuki, a leading Web3 anime community, is crucial to this initiative. As a pioneer in decentralized branding, Azuki has established itself as a prominent voice in the anime and blockchain space. The collaboration with Hyperliquid is seen as a strategic move to foster synergy between two novel ecosystems.
“This blend of culture and DeFi could ignite serious interest,” one user on X quipped.
The open anime universe, as envisioned by Azuki and its early contributors, seeks to empower fans to participate actively in the anime ecosystem. This community-centric model aligns with the growing trend of decentralization in entertainment and content creation.
“For decades, anime has shaped global culture — from art to fashion, gaming music. Yet these fans have remained passive consumers. Until now,” the Anime account said.
The ANIME token, launching on Ethereum and Arbitrum, aims to distribute 50.5% of its supply to the community. In addition to Hyperliquid’s HYPE stakers, other airdrop recipients include Kaito yappers, Arbitrum users, and anime enthusiasts.
“We’re excited to welcome the Hyperliquid community (HYPE stakers), Kaito yappers, Arbitrum communities, and anime communities to the open anime universe,” Anime added.
BeInCrypto data shows Hyperliquid’s HYPE token surged by over 3% following this news. At the time of writing, HYPE was trading for $21.26.
Meanwhile, the Hyperliquid platform’s allocation strategy has been pivotal in driving user engagement and trust. The token’s community-centric distribution model set new DeFi standards in November. This model could continue to resonate with a fanbase that has traditionally been sidelined in the creative process.
However, the road has not been entirely smooth for the HYPE token. Specifically, these developments come barely a week after Hyperliquid’s TVL (total value locked) hit its lowest point of the year. This decline has raised concerns about the platform’s sustainability.
Furthermore, Hyperliquid has faced controversies, including addressing validator security concerns. There was also speculation about potential hacking threats linked to the infamous Lazarus Group.
Reports and warnings from the community have added to the challenges the platform must overcome to maintain its reputation. Despite these hurdles, the ANIME airdrop offers an opportunity for Hyperliquid to re-engage its community. By participating in a venture that bridges anime and blockchain, Hyperliquid could attract a broader audience, particularly among anime fans eager to explore Web3.
