$ANSEM Influencer Deal Gets a New Model

Crypto influencer Zion 'Ansem' Thomas has launched ansem.io, a platform where token teams pay for his promotion by giving supply to holders of his memecoin $ANSEM and burning the token. This model replaces traditional influencer deals, where teams pay social media influencers in cash or tokens.

On ansem.io, teams reserve at least 3% of their supply for $ANSEM holders, bought at the launch price in the same transaction that creates the coin. Teams that also burn $ANSEM get a badge and a higher position on z500, the site's leaderboard. The cost of these badges is about $7,600 for Gold (25,000 $ANSEM) and $30,300 for Diamond (100,000 $ANSEM).

As of August 17, ansem.io reported 19 coins launched, with roughly $211,500 airdropped to 26,700 wallets, 929,647 $ANSEM burned, and $103.02 million traded. Thomas owns about 60% of the $ANSEM supply.
