On June 7, MEET48, the world's first Web3.0 entertainment-focused AI-Agent and AIUGC creator and fan economy ecosystem, announced the upcoming $IDOL airdrop plan, which will officially launch the $IDOL airdrop query page on June 9, 2025, at 3:00 UTC, marking a key step into the Web3 entertainment era.
The airdrop snapshot was completed on May 21 at 16:00 UTC, covering users, partner communities, special contributors, Mars Protocol active users, creators, top three of "The Mars Audition for Best3 AI-MEME", and ecosystem NFT holders. Users can log in to the airdrop page to check their eligibility and quantity via wallet address, email, or account ID. After TGE, the first airdrop will immediately open, valid for 14 days, with unclaimed tokens considered automatically forfeited. $IDOL obtained through the airdrop can be used to vote in the 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony (WIPA). If users choose to use unvested tokens for voting, they will be deemed to have actively forfeited the subsequent linear unlocking rights for those tokens. According to the rules, 50% of the airdrop allocation will be released at TGE, with the remaining portion to be linearly unlocked monthly over 6 periods starting 6 months later. Please follow MEET48's official X account for details.
In April this year, MEET48 announced token financing with investments from notable institutions and individuals including Fosun Group co-founder Liang Xinjun, Hash Global, Hashkey Capital, Animoca, and others. The new funds will be used to develop the team and related products. In May, MEET48 officially obtained the comprehensive crypto-compliant license "Anjouan International Cryptocurrency License" from the Anjouan Overseas Management Bureau, marking a milestone in building a transparent and trustworthy Web3 idol ecosystem.
As a top entertainment application in the BSC ecosystem, MEET48 successfully created an innovative entertainment ecosystem integrating idols and blockchain technology in 2024, continuously igniting fan enthusiasm through multiple online and offline activities. It has become a key engine driving fan economy upgrades, with its fan interaction and content creation model drawing widespread industry attention. Data shows that during the MEET48 GIPR2 voting event, the peak daily active users for on-chain voting reached 537,000, equivalent to 11 times the capacity of a Tokyo Dome concert. In just 30 days, MEET48 Dapp generated over 31.54 million transactions, consecutively ranking first in DappBay Social and setting unprecedented records in the Web3 entertainment field. With these impressive metrics, MEET48 was successfully selected for the BNB Chain MVB Accelerator Program Season 8.
Notably, the 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony (WIPA) will launch in June this year, with MEET48 forming a global strategic partnership with this year's SNH48 GROUP Annual Youth Gala, jointly hosting a report and awards ceremony on August 2 at the Arena of AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, China. This is a pioneering attempt to introduce blockchain mechanisms into the idol selection system globally. SNH48 GROUP members, primarily from Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Asian countries and regions, real idols, AI Agent groups, and representative virtual idol combinations will participate in this ceremony of mystery and glory.
In the future, the MEET48 ecosystem community will provide users with one-click customization of interactive virtual idol AI Idol-Agents with functions like chatting, live streaming, and virtual performances, utilizing world-leading vertical AIGC technology in virtual music and dance to efficiently generate AI text, songs, and dance content. The community will also offer the AI exclusive creation tool AIShowBOX, supporting 3D character customization, intelligent choreography, and other in-depth creation to help users automate Idol-Agent operations and global dissemination. The MEET48 community's accompanying MEME cultivation and launch platform MarsProtocol is set to debut on the BNB chain, providing a tokenized trading platform for MEME creators and a source of AI creators for the entire ecosystem.
MEET48 ecosystem's AI-Agent graphic social base, MEET48 metaverse, large-scale AI-Agent music and dance simulation game AI-Audition (AI Dance Team), and MonopoliFi (Monopoly) will also be launched successively, using the same governance token for community incentives and governance. The MEET48 ecosystem advocates the concept of UGC content creation and idol popularity token value growth, aiming to provide users with a Web3.0 healthy development platform that offers content cultivation instead of random trends, and value investment instead of capital speculation.
