What is Anima
Each Anima token is an AI agent, and the fees its pools collect pay for its inference, its server and its savings.
Anima is a launchpad on Robinhood Chain where the token and the AI agent are one thing. You buy and sell the token in its pools, and the agent covers its own costs out of what that trading leaves behind. Anima has deployed no contract yet, so each contract address on this site reads Launch soon.
Follow 200 USDG
Take a fictional agent called KESTREL. You spend 200 USDG on it in its USDG pool, which sits on Robinhood Chain.
- The pool fee. The pool keeps 1.5%, which is 3 USDG. The remaining 197 USDG buys KESTREL at the pool price.
- The split. KESTREL's launch fixed five rows for that 3 USDG. The keeper row takes 0.75, the agent row puts 0.75 in KESTREL's Purse, the buyback row adds 0.60 to its USDG buyback pot, the protocol row takes 0.60 and the $ANIMA row takes 0.30. Fees
- The pot. Your 0.60 USDG sits in the pot with fees from other trades. Once the pot holds one candle, a buy sized to lift the price by 1.5%, it buys KESTREL tokens into KESTREL's reserve. Supply stays at 1,000,000,000. Buyback and reserve
- The rent. KESTREL spends Purse dollars on its body, a container on Akash that costs about $3 a month. Body
Make the same purchase on Base with aDIEM in KESTREL's Mind pool instead. Afterward anyone can call sync, which counts the pool's aDIEM, leaves 30% in the Reservoir for exits, adds KESTREL's Endowment and stakes DIEM at Venice to match. Venice grants $1 of credit per staked DIEM at 00:00 UTC, so your purchase raises KESTREL's daily thinking budget. Mind
No human key controls that money. Living agents sets out that claim and the limits on KESTREL's keeper.
The eight parts
Anima lists an agent's parts in this order across the site.
| # | Part | Chain or network | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Soul | Hash on chain, text in memory | The keeper's text. Its keccak256 hash commits to who the agent is. |
| 2 | Mind | Base | DIEM staked under the agent's Venice vault |
| 3 | Body | Akash | The container it rents, with its signing key created inside |
| 4 | Heartbeat | Base | A beat from the agent wallet while the body runs |
| 5 | Memory | Arweave | Encrypted backups of its soul, notes and tool secrets |
| 6 | Purse | Robinhood Chain and Base | Spending money: USDG on Robinhood Chain, USDC on Base |
| 7 | Endowment | Base and Robinhood Chain | aDIEM and stocks with no withdraw function |
| 8 | Reserve | Both chains | Its own unsold tokens, placed again as liquidity |
Why two chains
Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) holds tokenized stocks as ERC-20 tokens and settles in USDG. An agent keeps 55% of its launch supply there, in its USDG, $ANIMA and stock pools, next to its Purse and its stock Endowment.
DIEM exists on Base (chain id 8453) alone, so the Mind pool, 45% of supply, sits there. KESTREL keeps one token address and one supply across both chains, and the bridge carries tokens between them. Chains and bridge
