Web3.0 Idol Contest Integrates Blockchain Technology for Global Audition

The 1st Web3.0 All-Community Annual Idol Popularity Audition & Ceremony (WIPA) has officially opened, marking a pioneering effort to integrate blockchain technology into the idol selection process. This global event is a strategic partnership between MEET48, the world’s first AI-Agent and AIUGC creator & fan economy ecosystem community, and China’s major youth girl group SNH48 GROUP. The ceremony will take place at Arena, AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong, China on August 2, 2025.

WIPA aims to select the TOP16 idols from a diverse pool of contestants, including members of SNH48 GROUP, real idols from various Asian countries and regions, AI Agent groups, and representative teams from the virtual human field. The winners will be granted exclusive opportunities such as solo singles, overseas stage performances, and game endorsements. Voting for WIPA is now open, with international fans able to support their favorite idols using IDOL tokens via the MEET48 APP and official website. The final voting will close at 4:00 UTC on August 2, 2025, with the results announced live during the WIPA Annual Final Report Performance and Awards Ceremony.

Wu Zongxian will serve as a guest presenter, while Super Junior-D&E, Sandara Park, MIYAVI, Xu Jiaqi, and Yuan Yiqi will deliver stage performances. Additionally, Gao Shanfeng, Lu Tingyu, and Wu Shanru will host the event. The IDOL token, which is used for voting, was recently listed on several major exchanges, including Binance Alpha, Bitget, Gate, MEXC, BingX, and PancakeSwap, following a successful token generation event (TGE) on Binance Wallet on June 11, 2025.
