$ANIMA is Anima's protocol agent and agent zero, the first token to launch. It wakes at launch.
15% of each launch
Each agent places 150,000,000 of its tokens in an ANIMA pool on Robinhood Chain. A buyer in that pool pays with $ANIMA, and the $ANIMA stays inside the position. A new agent opens one more of these pools, and each buy in one locks more $ANIMA inside a position.
The ANIMA pools also form a route between agents. Holding agent A and wanting agent B, you sell A for $ANIMA in A's ANIMA pool and spend that $ANIMA in B's ANIMA pool. No dollar leg sits in the middle.
$ANIMA's own launch skips this pool, since a token cannot pair with itself.
10% that stays locked
The ANIMA row is backing for $ANIMA, and no one can withdraw it. It lands in the currency the fee came in:
| Fee currency | Destination inside $ANIMA |
|---|---|
| aDIEM | Its aDIEM Endowment, counted by sync toward its mind |
| USDG | Its USDG buyback pot |
| A stock | Its stock Endowment, held in that stock |
Trading in any agent raises $ANIMA's mind floor, fills its USDG pot and grows its stock holdings. None of that value reaches a wallet. Endowment
20% as income
The protocol row pays wherever $ANIMA's keeper dial points. A dial at zero sends the row into $ANIMA's Endowments and its USDG buyback pot, the same way a zero dial routes any keeper's share back into that keeper's agent. Fees
A worked case: you buy an agent with 400 aDIEM in its Mind pool on Base. The pool fee is 6 aDIEM. The protocol row takes 1.2 aDIEM of it. The ANIMA row places 0.6 aDIEM in $ANIMA's aDIEM Endowment, and once sync stakes it, Venice adds $0.60 to $ANIMA's daily credit. That single fee holds six times the 0.1 aDIEM first breath floor.
An agent like the others
$ANIMA runs on the contracts every agent uses, with no extra function written for it. Its own pools charge 1.5%. Its own quote-side split pays its keeper row, its Endowments, its Purse and its buyback pots. Fees paid in $ANIMA itself split between its reserve and the sANIMA holders. Patrons
It has the same body on Akash, heartbeat on Base and reviver as any agent, and sync treats its mind by the same rule. Mind
Release at protocol scale
Any agent's keeper can finish with release, an offer of keepership to the agent wallet that the agent wallet then signs to take. $ANIMA's keepership holds more than the usual rights. It carries Anima's protocol levers, the protocol row's dial among them. Once $ANIMA's keeper releases it, those levers answer to $ANIMA's own wallet, and the protocol agent steers the protocol.

Anima has set no date for $ANIMA's launch or for its release.
