[PRESS RELEASE – Hong Kong, Hong Kong, June 7th, 2025]
On June 7, MEET48 officially announced the launch of its $IDOL airdrop program. The $IDOL Airdrop Eligibility Check Page is scheduled to officially launch at 3:00 UTC on June 9, 2025, marking a critical step forward in MEET48’s journey into the new era of Web3 entertainment.
The eligibility snapshot for this airdrop was completed at 16:00 UTC on May 21, covering users who have interacted with the MEET48 ecosystem, partner communities, special contributors, active users of Mars Protocol, creators, the top 3 winners of The Mars Audition for Best3 AI-MEME, and holders of MEET48 ecosystem NFTs. Users will be able to access the airdrop page and check their eligibility and claimable amount by logging in with their wallet address, email, or account ID. Following the TGE, initial token claiming will be available immediately and must be completed within 14 days, after which eligibility will automatically expire. Airdropped $IDOL tokens can be used to participate in voting for The 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony (WIPA). Users who choose to use their unvested tokens for voting will be deemed to have voluntarily forfeited the right to future linear unlocks of those specific tokens. According to the vesting schedule, 50% of the airdrop will be released at TGE, with the remaining 50% to be unlocked linearly over six months, starting six months after TGE. For more details, please refer to the official MEET48 X Channel.
Back in April, MEET48 revealed that it had secured a token round investment from a number of leading institutions and prominent individuals, including Fosun Group Co-founder Liang Xinjun, Hash Global, HashKey Capital, and Animoca. The newly raised funds will be used to expand the team and further develop related products.
As a leading entertainment application within the BSC ecosystem, MEET48 successfully built a series of innovative entertainment ecosystems combining idol culture and blockchain technology in 2024. Through various online and offline events, it has continuously ignited fan enthusiasm, becoming a key driver in upgrading the fan economy. Its fan interaction and content creation model has attracted wide attention within the industry. Data shows that during the MEET48 GIPR2 voting event, the peak on-chain daily active users (DAUs) reached 537,000 worldwide—equivalent to 11 times the full capacity of Tokyo Dome. In just 30 days, the MEET48 Dapp generated over 31.54 million transactions, repeatedly ranking first on DappBay Social and setting unprecedented milestones in the Web3 entertainment field. With these impressive numbers, MEET48 was selected for the BNB Chain MVB Season 8 Accelerator Program.
Notably, The 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony (WIPA) will launch in June this year. MEET48 has formed a global strategic partnership with this year’s SNH48 GROUP Youth Festival to co-host the showcase and award ceremony on August 2 at the Arena in AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong. This event marks the world’s first attempt to introduce blockchain mechanisms into idol selection systems. SNH48 GROUP members, real-life idols mainly from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Asian countries and regions, AI-Agent groups, and prominent virtual human ensembles will jointly participate in this coronation celebration full of surprises and glory.
Looking ahead, the MEET48 ecosystem community will enable users to instantly create interactive AI Idol-Agents capable of chatting, livestreaming, and virtual performances. It will also utilize globally leading AIGC technologies in the vertical field of virtual music and dance to efficiently generate AI-based visuals, lyrics, songs, and dance content. Additionally, the community will offer an exclusive AI creation tool, AIShowBOX, supporting advanced creation such as 3D avatar customization and smart choreography to assist users in automating operations and globally promoting their Idol-Agents. The MEME nurturing and launch platform MarsProtocol, developed by the MEET48 community, is set to launch first on BNB Chain. It will provide MEME creators with a tokenized trading platform and serve as a source of AI creators for the entire ecosystem.
The AI-Agent graphic social base of the MEET48 ecosystem community, the MEET48 Metaverse, as well as two large-scale leisure social blockchain games—AI-Audition and MonopoliFi—will also be launched successively. All will use a unified governance token for community incentives and governance. The MEET48 ecosystem community advocates for a model where UGC content creation and fan popularity building are paired with token value growth. Its goal is to offer users a Web3.0 platform for sustainable development, where content development replaces random hypes and value investing replaces capital speculation.
