Anime.com: A new way to anime
My thoughts are that these 3D AR VR ready looking cuties known as “Animee” avatars will be the key catalysts for brand partnerships, in-app purchases, and integrations within the @animecom ecosystem.
Just like Bitmoji was for Snap.
A Quick 101 👇🏻
——
Animee avatars seem to be the perfect entry point for users into the Anime.com ecosystem and keep in mind, it was shared that the eco is going to have a social media module built in.
Fun Fact #1: Context: Latest Bitmoji revenues are undisclosed but prior to Snapchat’s $100M acquisition, Bitmoji (then bitstrips) were doing 10.3M.
Fun Fact #2: Azuki’s VP of product i.e @0xseraph the goat, is Ex-Snapchat.
No wonder the avatars and overall product flow and UI looks even better than Bitmoji.

Since Animee avatars are still under dev, for those trying to understand their future implications 👇🏻
Bitmoji as a Use Case The Power of Avatars in Social Media
1️⃣ Brand / Fashion Collaborations:
Bitmoji partners with brands like Nike Adidas and Ralph Lauren letting users dress their avatars in branded outfits. Many are sponsored meaning brands pay Snap Inc for exposure turning Bitmoji into a digital product placement tool.
2️⃣ Gaming / AR Integrations:
Developers integrate Bitmoji into games through Bitmoji for Games with Snap earning from licensing and revenue sharing deals. In AR Bitmoji appears in Snapchat lenses boosting engagement and ad views.
3️⃣ Snap’s Advertising Flywheel:
Bitmoji does not run ads but keeps users engaged on Snapchat driving higher ad impressions and revenue for Snap’s ecosystem.
4️⃣ Possible monetisation (TBD)
Snapchat Plus could introduce premium Bitmoji outfits as paid perks. Snap also explored NFT based Bitmoji allowing users to buy and trade digital fashion.
All in all, Bitmoji proves that avatars drive engagement brand partnerships and monetization key lessons for any digital ecosystem.

Thesis:
Above use cases will be priced into @Azuki’s value proposition as “Animee” avatars integrate into Anime.com modules. Moreover, knowing how goated the product team is at Azuki.
We could very well see new product offerings in the web3 side of things too. Since Anime.com is on Animechain powered by $anime.
If executed properly, having an Azuki portfolio could ideally be equivalent to an early stage investor portfolio in Bitstrips and Snapchat, in the coming time.
Ofcourse, it’s just a theory but “Animee” could become revenue making machines and all in all this could directly entail to rewards for Azuki collectors (flywheel)
Note: Azuki has 0 VCs. The entry point is the NFT collections.

TLDR: Nobody is bullish enough.
Just created @chillguyagent, a test AI agent that sent @taylorswift13 0.0013 ETH - without even knowing her wallet address.
That’s right - the agent didn’t need Taylor’s wallet. All it needed was her Twitter handle in order to send the tokens.
This is made possible by a powerful action called "plugin-social-wallets" that the Azuki dev team is contributing to the @ai16z repo. This enables AI agents to send crypto to any Twitter user, even if they've never used crypto before.
Now imagine all AI agents in the future being able to seamlessly distribute tokens to people on social media in order to achieve its goals.
Imagine @aixbt_agent sending $CHAOS to its followers. Imagine @0xzerebro sending $ZEREBRO to fans on Tik Tok who listen to his songs.
This is a huge step for onboarding and a major unlock for agents to reward devs, creators, artists, community builders, and more.
The tech actually extends beyond just AI agents. It will enable anyone to send crypto to any user - all that's needed is a social handle.
So how does it work?
The plugin currently uses Privy's pre-generated wallet feature to create wallets for any user, and can easily be extended to include other privy-supported logins like Tik Tok/IG.
In the future, the data source could be replaced with an onchain social registry that anyone can opt into themselves to link their socials to a wallet, using TEE-verified oauth. With a reserve vault smart contract layer on top of that, this could hold tokens sent to users that haven't signed up yet and then easily be claimed on signup.
If crypto is the language of agent transactions, bridging their agency to the real world isn’t just inevitable, it’s essential. Outside of the agents usecase, the ability to tip tokens to any creator without platform fees or onboarding headaches will be a game changer.
Azuki's vision is to inspire an open anime universe, and this plugin is a step toward unlocking endless possibilities. Imagine anime characters as agents, launched by creators and collectors in the community, contributing to collaborative storylines, interacting with fans, and transacting with one another. This could spark entirely new forms of meta games, stories, and economies - all driven by the creativity of the Azuki community.
