News Brief
On January 30th, MEET48—widely regarded as the world's pioneering Web3-based idol fan economy ecosystem that seamlessly integrates AI and UGC—destroyed approximately 8.70 million IDOL tokens, representing 30% of the total voting revenue from the second "MEET48 Best7: Stage of Light" event. This strategic token burn aims to reduce circulating supply, enhance value, and ultimately strengthen community engagement. Fans cast over 20.34 million votes, generating 28.99 million IDOL tokens in total voting rewards, which accounts for 0.60% of the total supply. The burned tokens represent 0.18% of the overall supply. According to DappBay data, MEET48 dApps achieved 619.48K transactions and 356.18K active users in the past week alone, becoming the top BSC ecosystem social dApp by user ranking. Recently, MEET48 held its 2026 AI Entertainment UGC Platform and Web3.0 Development Strategy Launch in Seoul alongside partners including POChain, Auditions GO, Hash Global, Web3 Entertainment Alliance, and The Fan. Products launching in early 2026 include ParoAI, a sophisticated large language model for multimodal content generation; MEET48.ai, an upgraded AI UGC social platform; Auditions GO, an AI-driven virtual idol rhythm game where players create and trade blockchain-based idol assets; and POChain, an AIGC-focused Layer 1 blockchain compatible with BNB Chain featuring products like POCSee.com for content display, POCshow.ai for virtual idol training, POCmusic.com for decentralized music creation, and POCast.ai for audio content. Overall, MEET48 transforms fans into active creators using AI tools, with all content stored on POChain using Proof of Creativity consensus, building what many believe is a truly community-driven entertainment ecosystem where creation generates authentic cultural and economic value.

On January 30th, according to official news from MEET48, the world's first idol fan economy ecosystem based on Web3 and deeply integrating AI and UGC, 30% of the total voting revenue from the second "MEET48 Best7: Stage of Light" large-scale voting event, approximately 8.7 million IDOL tokens, were destroyed today. The hash of the address to which the tokens were transferred was announced: 0x8515b6c6f031b2e52206be1fa93b3707e168846b83e62dfc16ddcf4d20abb8aa.

This IDOL token burning plan aims to reduce the overall supply, increase token value, and further strengthen the MEET48 community. As an innovative pioneer in the Web3 entertainment industry, MEET48 is reshaping the global idol industry and fan economy through blockchain and AI.

MEET48 has burned 30% of the total voting proceeds from the second MEET48 Best7 competition, using IDOL tokens to further strengthen its community.

It is reported that in the second "MEET48 Best7" competition, fans cast a total of 20,342,242 votes for their idols, generating a total voting reward of 28,995,200 IDOL tokens, accounting for 0.604% of the total IDOL token supply. The 8,698,560 IDOL tokens burned this time represent 30% of the total voting reward of the second "MEET48 Best7" competition and 0.181% of the total IDOL token supply.

As of the end of the event, according to DappBay data, the TXN of the MEET48 dApps reached 619.48K times and the number of active user addresses (UAW) reached 356.18K in the past 7 days. It became the number one dApp in the BSC ecosystem social track in terms of UAW ranking across the entire chain within 24 hours and the number one dApp in terms of UAW ranking in the BSC ecosystem within 7 days.

It is worth noting that MEET48 recently held the "MEET48 2026 AI Entertainment UGC Platform and Web3.0 Development Strategy Launch Conference" in Seoul, South Korea. The co-organizers included AIGC digital content creator L1 ecosystem POChain, AIUGC virtual idol music and dance simulation game Auditions GO (developed by the original operation and marketing team of "Audition"), Hash Global, Web3 Entertainment Alliance, and The Fan.

This press conference, combining online livestream and offline events, showcased MEET48's upcoming product launch plans to millions of users worldwide. These products will be released gradually in the first half of 2026 and include:

  • ParoAI: The core large language model of the MEET48 AI UGC ecosystem, planned for release in Q1 2026. It is used to understand creative intent and generate multimodal content, driving narrative, character and interactive experience. It has both intelligent collaboration and content engine capabilities, lowers the creative threshold and helps creators efficiently produce shareable high-quality content.
  • MEET48.ai: An AI UGC social community platform for idol fans, with a planned strategic upgrade in Q1 2026. Users can create and share AI-generated content based on ParoAI, showcase their work, interact, and collaborate in the community, transforming AI creation into a social experience that can be seen, received feedback, and recognized, and building an AI content ecosystem driven by community participation with idol culture at its core.
  • Auditions GO: The world's first AI-driven virtual idol rhythm and stage performance Web3 game built around the MEET48 idol ecosystem, planned for release in the first half of 2026. It was conceived and developed by the original operations and marketing team of "Audition". Players can create, nurture, and debut virtual idols using $IDOL through UGC tools, allowing music, movements, and styling to be performed on the blockchain. Virtual idols possess growth and companionship attributes, and user-created idol assets can be registered and traded on the BNB Chain. Driven by a proprietary training model based on MEET48/SNH48 historical performance data and music library, it aims to jointly build a community-driven next-generation Idolverse.
  • POChain: A fully sovereign, independently operating AIGC digital content L1 public chain tailored for Web3 creators and developers. It is fully compatible with BNB Chain at the EVM layer and aims to build a new generation of infrastructure for content creation. Jointly incubated by MEETLabs and the MEET Foundation, it establishes a swap pool between the official MEET48 token $IDOL and the public chain's native token $POC to absorb early-stage $IDOL investment value. The conversion to the public chain's native token $POC will be phased and limited according to time and ecosystem milestones. The POChain ecosystem will launch the following products in 2026 according to the roadmap:
  • POCSee.com: POChain's content display hub, showcasing text, audio, video, and AIGC content using unified standards. It builds a trustworthy, high-quality, and scalable content pool through on-chain value authentication. Relying on on-chain rights confirmation and traceability mechanisms, it records the source, author, and value status of content. Externally, it serves as the official display and distribution portal, while internally, it acts as the core hub for content discovery, filtering, and long-term preservation.
  • POCshow.ai: POChain's virtual idol trainee platform, which achieves creative consensus, voting and debut ownership based on a decentralized mechanism, and supports fan economy, revenue sharing and commercial operation.
  • POCmusic.com: POChain's decentralized music creation and distribution platform, integrating AI music and MV generation to provide creators with a one-stop solution from creation and copyright confirmation to distribution. Through on-chain authentication and decentralized mechanisms, it achieves a verifiable, circulated, and sustainable digital music ecosystem.
  • POCast.ai: POChain's decentralized audio content ecosystem platform, where creators can publish, manage, and monetize their content on-chain, ensuring copyright protection and transparent revenue sharing. Users can securely consume content, support creators, and acquire exclusive content or NFT rights.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
