The Evolution of AI Virtual Idols: How MEET48 Shapes New Experiences in Web3 Entertainment and Social Interaction

With the rapid development of AI technology, digital singers and virtual idols are presenting increasingly realistic visual effects, not only resembling real people in appearance but also continuously improving their performance and interaction capabilities. At the same time, AI-generated artists are intervening in all aspects of content creation at an unprecedented speed, pushing the virtual idol ecosystem into a new stage.

MEET48, as an "entertainment social metaverse" project that integrates AI-generated content, virtual idols, fan economy, and Web3 incentive mechanisms, has recently obtained a token round financing with a valuation of hundreds of millions, and has been selected for an incubation plan in a certain blockchain ecosystem. With the token generation event (TGE) underway, MEET48 is leveraging the dual drive of AI + Web3 to create a new model of "fan economy + creator economy" for the next generation.

From Hatsune Miku to AIUGC: The Technological Transformation of the Entertainment Industry

The development of virtual idols has gone through multiple stages: in 2007, Hatsune Miku pioneered the UGC era, and around 2012, virtual idol projects in Japan and South Korea promoted the development of PGC. Today, MEET48 redefines the development path of virtual idols with AI-driven content generation and Web3-driven value distribution.

MEET48 has a diverse product matrix, including the Web3+AI entertainment creation platform MEET48.ai, the meme token launch platform Mars Protocol centered around AI Agent, and the virtual entertainment world MEET48 Metaverse.

MEET48.ai supports functions such as generating music from text, generating dance from music, AI-driven choreography, and voice cloning, enabling AI idols to create multimedia content. Mars Protocol, as an innovative token launch platform, integrates the "Idol Meme + AI Agent" model, providing users with one-click token issuance, liquidity, and trading tools.

Top resources empower, MEET48 masters the core entry point of content assets

MEET48 recently completed a token round financing, with an FDV valuation reaching 100 million USD. Investors value not only its ability to implement technology but also the fact that MEET48 has mastered the core entry point of content assets. The copyright licenses it has obtained provide the project with genuine fans and IP stickiness in the field of AI virtual humans, combined with comprehensive technology, forming a unique competitive advantage.

In terms of community data performance, MEET48 has surpassed 697 million votes in a certain voting DApp, with a total of 3.39 million registered users and over 1.18 million active wallet addresses, validating its real market demand and product scalability under the combination of AI virtual idols and Web3 incentive mechanisms.

Token Economics Driving AI Idol Co-Creation

The native token of MEET48, $IDOL, has a total issuance of 4.8 billion tokens, with allocations including community incentives, supporters, teams and advisors, liquidity support, ecosystem support, marketing, and IDO, among others. The tokenomics design aims to promote the healthy development and growth of the ecosystem.

Future Development Roadmap

In the coming time of 2025, MEET48 plans to hold an annual community idol election, optimize the token launch platform, launch a limited test of "AI Dance Troupe", and release two Web3 games. The long-term plan includes building a global AI-driven Web3 ecosystem covering entertainment, social interaction, creation, and assetization.

MEET48 is working hard to build a comprehensive ecosystem based on a Web3 AI social metaverse, combining community and multiple AI gaming systems. As the project continues to develop, its innovative attempts in the fields of AI virtual idols and Web3 are worth ongoing attention.
