Ansem.io lets token teams buy promotion via ANSEM airdrops and burns

The site says each newly launched coin reserves at least 3% of supply for ANSEM holders, and it reported about $103 million traded by 5:19 p.m. ET.

Crypto influencer Zion “Ansem” Thomas launched ansem.io on Aug. 17, a site where token teams pay for his promotion by distributing supply to holders of his memecoin $ANSEM and burning additional $ANSEM.

Instead of paying a standard influencer deal to a key opinion leader, teams fund $ANSEM holders and into token burns, a structure Thomas controls, according to The Defiant.

The site began reporting early activity the same day, listing 19 coins launched, roughly $211,500 in airdrops to 26,700 wallets, and 929,647 $ANSEM burned, while $ANSEM and related trading showed about $103.02 million traded by 5:19 p.m. ET.

The documentation cited by The Defiant says every coin created on ansem.io reserves at least 3% of its supply for $ANSEM holders, with options for teams that burn $ANSEM to receive badges and higher placement on the site’s z500 leaderboard, where “gold” costs 25,000 $ANSEM and a “diamond” listing costs 100,000 $ANSEM.
