Hyperliquid has revealed that HYPE token stakers are eligible for an airdrop of the ANIME token. The announcement was shared on Monday through X (formerly Twitter). This marks a collaboration between Hyperliquid and ANIME, a project supported by Azuki, a decentralized anime community.

The ANIME token powers an open anime universe designed to create a community-owned creative economy. Azuki plays a key role in this initiative, blending Web3 innovation with anime culture. The collaboration aims to unite anime fans and blockchain enthusiasts in a decentralized ecosystem.
ANIME will launch on Ethereum and Arbitrum, with 50.5% of the token supply allocated to the community. Alongside Hyperliquid’s HYPE stakers, other recipients include Kaito yappers, Arbitrum users, and anime fans.
Hyperliquid’s HYPE token saw a 3% price increase after the announcement, trading at $21.26, according to BeInCrypto. This comes during a challenging period for Hyperliquid, following a dip in total value locked (TVL) and community concerns over validator security and potential hacking threats.
