Below are answers to the most common questions about AnimeChain.

💰 How do I get Animecoin (ANIME)?

  1. Bridge from Ethereum → Arbitrum → AnimeChain following the bridging guide.

⏱️ Why do withdrawals take 7 days?

Arbitrum's optimistic rollup security model requires a challenge window to dispute fraudulent L2/L3 state updates. Withdrawals from L3 → L2 and L2 → L1 therefore impose a 7-day delay.

Simple transfer: ~$0.001. See Use AnimeChain for parameters and details.
