MEET48 is a next-generation entertainment ecosystem launching in early 2025 that fuses virtual idol culture, AI-driven content creation, immersive metaverse experiences, and on‑chain fan engagement.… It was conceived by a global team of around 500 R&D professionals operating across Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Seoul, and Dubai, aimed at empowering fans to actively participate in idol creation, governance, and monetization. At its core lies MEET48.ai, a platform enabling fans and creators to co‑create AI‑Agents—virtual idols with chat, streaming, performance, and companionship features powered by advanced AIGC tools such as text‑to‑music, music‑to‑dance, voice cloning, and virtual choreography. AIShowBOX and a mobile tool named IdolGPT let users upload selfies to instantly generate personalized 3D virtual characters that can sing, dance, and perform routines — democratizing idol creation. The Mars Protocol complements this by tokenizing individual AI idols, enabling issuance of “MEME tokens” to foster a secondary economy around idol growth. The native IDOL token, built on BNB Chain with a total supply of 4.8 billion, enables voting, staking, content creation rewards, virtual goods purchases, metaverse usage, and decentralized governance—turning fans into co-creators and co-investors. Early traction has been strong, with over 3.8 million active users, some 537,000 daily actives and 31 million on‑chain interactions during key events. A flagship event, WIPA (All‑Community Idol Popularity Audition), merges offline and online experiences—featuring idols from SNH48 Group and scheduled for August 2025 in Hong Kong with star appearances. The TGE for IDOL occurred on June 11 2025 via Binance Wallet sale, followed by listings on Bitget, Gate, MEXC, PancakeSwap and other venues. Private and public rounds brought a $100 million valuation backed by major investors including YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), HashKey Capital, Animoca Brands, Hash Global, and Liang Xinjun — celebrities from both tech and entertainment worlds. Ongoing and upcoming initiatives include “Coin Idols”, an idle idol‑training game on TON blockchain; AI‑Audition, an immersive dance and music simulation RPG spun from a billion‑user legacy IP with $100 million+ development over three years; and continued rollout of AI tools and tokenized community interactions on BNB Chain. Certified audited via CertiK with AA rating and bug‑bounty programs, MEET48 combines rigorous engineering and design with a fan‑centric token economy. Its ambition: to redefine idol culture as a decentralized, AI‑enabled, participatory entertainment era, with integrated metaverse social spaces, fan‑governance, tokenized virtual assets, and ongoing interoperable experiences across games, live events, and on‑chain platforms. Positioned at the intersection of idols, artificial intelligence, and fan participation, MEET48 is building a richly layered global ecosystem that aims to engage millions more users—and shift entertainment from passive consumption to active co‑creation and shared value.
