MEET48: AI virtual idols combined with Web3 reshaping the entertainment and social ecosystem
The New Era of AI Virtual Idols: How MEET48 Integrates AIGC and Web3 to Reshape Entertainment and Social Experience
With the advancement of AI technology, digital singers and virtual idols are exhibiting increasingly realistic visual effects. These virtual characters not only resemble real people but their performance and interaction capabilities are also continuously improving. At the same time, the emergence of AI-generated artists in fields such as music, dance, and image design is propelling the virtual idol ecosystem into a new phase at an unprecedented pace.
In this context, MEET48 has emerged as an "entertainment social metaverse" project that integrates AI-generated content, virtual idols, fan economy, and Web3 incentive mechanisms. The project has received support from several well-known institutions with a billion-yuan valuation token round financing and has been selected for an important blockchain ecosystem incubation program.
With the Token Generation Event (TGE) underway, MEET48 officially welcomes a key "evolution" moment. This event marks how the project will leverage AI and Web3 technologies in a dual-driven approach to create the next generation of the "fan economy + creation economy" model.
The Technological Evolution of Virtual Idols
The development of virtual idols can be traced back to 2007, when Hatsune Miku sparked a craze with VOCALOID voice synthesis technology, ushering in the era of user-generated content (UGC) for virtual idols. Around 2012, some virtual idol projects further promoted industry development through motion capture and professional-generated content (PGC) methods, but the PGC model faces issues such as high costs, significant creative bottlenecks, and long update cycles.
Currently, MEET48 is trying to redefine the development path of virtual idols through AI-driven content generation and Web3-driven value distribution.
MEET48 Product Matrix
MEET48 has a diversified product matrix, including:
MEET48.ai: A Web3+AI entertainment creation platform that supports functions such as generating music from text, generating dance from music, AI-driven choreography, and voice cloning.
Mars Protocol: A meme token launch platform centered around AI Agents, dedicated to reshaping the Web3 idol economy.
MEET48 Metaverse: A virtual entertainment world designed to provide an immersive social experience.
Self-developed multimodal large model: supports music and dance training, providing users with AI creation tools and MaaS editor.
Resource Advantage and Community Performance
MEET48 not only possesses strong technical capabilities but also holds the core entry point of content assets. The project has obtained copyright authorization from a well-known girl idol group, providing a real fan base and IP stickiness in the field of AI virtual humans.
In terms of community data, MEET48 has demonstrated strong performance. Its voting-based decentralized application (DApp) has surpassed a total voting volume of 697 million votes, with a total of 3.39 million registered users. During the activity period, the on-chain transaction count reached as high as 32.78 million, and the cumulative active wallet addresses exceeded 1.18 million. This data directly validates the market demand and product scalability of MEET48 under the combination of AI virtual idols and Web3 incentive mechanisms.
Token Economics and Future Planning
The native token of MEET48, $IDOL, has a total issuance of 4.8 billion pieces, with allocations covering various aspects including community incentives, investor support, team incentives, liquidity support, and ecosystem development.
In future development plans, MEET48 will hold an annual idol selection for the community, optimize the token launch platform, and launch multiple Web3 games, including "AI Dance Group", "Bounty Hunter" and "Chain Tycoon", among others.
Ultimately, MEET48 aims to build a global AI-driven Web3 ecosystem that covers entertainment, social interaction, creation, and assetization. As the project continues to develop, MEET48 is expected to pioneer new possibilities in the virtual idol and Web3 entertainment fields.
