AnotherBall

AnotherBall is a Singapore-based Web3 entertainment company operating the IZUMO project, a virtual entertainer (VTuber) platform. Its core business provides free, commercially usable avatar assets called 'Ailis' to creators, enabling them to build virtual identities, stream, and monetize content without traditional agency restrictions.

The core differentiator is its 'Open IP' model: instead of a company owning character IP, the community collectively holds and develops the characters. This contrasts sharply with traditional VTuber agencies that tightly control talent and IP. The project combines AI-driven character interaction with blockchain-based digital ownership, aiming to lower entry barriers for creators.

Market pain points addressed: traditional VTuber agencies impose high revenue cuts and strict IP control, limiting creator autonomy and long-term earnings. Additionally, high production costs for custom avatars and 3D models prevent many aspiring creators from entering the space. IZUMO solves this by offering professional-grade assets for free and allowing unlimited commercial use, shifting the value model from IP monopoly to ecosystem growth.

Regarding development in the past six months (2026-03-12 to 2026-09-12): no reliable public information was found. The project's official website and Twitter have not disclosed verifiable updates within this period. No significant negative events were identified in the available sources.
