Project Description
Any Inu ($AI) is a unique, permissionless, fixed-supply token that operates independently of any single blockchain. Leveraging Axelar’s Interchain Token Service (ITS), Any Inu exists seamlessly across multiple chains, making it a pioneering project in the multi-chain ecosystem. Our mission is to unite communities from all blockchains under one token and to evangelize the multi-chain future enabled by Axelar’s technology.
We satirize the proliferation of dog-themed coins (‘Inu’ moniker), the hype around artificial intelligence, and the limitations of single-chain ecosystems. Through humor and relatable memes, we aim to draw attention to the capabilities of Axelar ITS and educate the broader crypto community about the benefits of a multi-chain future.

Motivation
Our team is deeply committed to Any Inu’s success, which aligns with promoting Axelar’s multi-chain vision. With no individual holding more than 2% of the supply, we ensure decentralization and fair distribution. Since we launched without a presale, we’ve self-funded operations through donations, LP fees, and NFTs. Our 3-of-7 multisig treasury on BSC has been transparently managed for nine months.
We believe that with Axelar’s support, we can significantly amplify our impact, bringing mutual benefits to both Any Inu and the Axelar ecosystem.
