$AMATO Finally Launches! Entering a New Stage as Vesting Begins

“At last, the day has come.”

On December 15, 2025, $AMATO officially launched. Then, at 16:00 JST on December 16, vesting for presale purchasers began.

In this article, we’ll share the details of the $AMATO launch, along with the step-by-step vesting (claim) process.

What Is $AMATO?

Let me explain $AMATO again.

$AMATO is a token that integrates character IP, fan communities, and Web3 technology. It has been certified as an official partner IP (Verified Token) within the Smart Pocket ecosystem, and plays a key role in the character economy centered around $SP.

In traditional IP models, fans were only “consumers.” But $AMATO is different.

Fans and creators become the leading force in value creation—building the growth and direction of the character universe together. This is the “new form of character IP” that $AMATO aims for.

Vesting Start Details

For those who purchased $AMATO in the presale—thank you for waiting.

Basic Vesting Information

• Start: December 16, 2025, 16:00 (JST)
• Duration: 24 months (2 years)
• Mechanism: Updated every second, gradually increasing toward the total amount purchased in the presale

At first glance, a 24-month vesting period may feel long. However, it reflects Smart Pocket’s philosophy:

“IP grows over time. It’s not something that disappears with trends.”

Based on this idea, the design supports sustainable long-term growth while reducing sharp price fluctuations.

Vesting (Claim) Steps [Image Guide]

Claiming $AMATO can be done easily through the Smart Pocket app.

Steps

1. Open the Smart Pocket app
2. Tap “$AMATO PreSale Now!!” at the top of the Home tab
   • Or tap “$AMATO AL” from “Verify Token AL” on the Home tab
3. Tap “Claim”
4. Check the transaction screen and tap “Confirm”

That’s it—you’ll be able to receive the vested portion of your $AMATO.

⚠️ Note: When you claim, you will need a small amount of SOL as a transaction fee. Make sure you have SOL in your wallet.

⚠️ Beware of Fake Tokens

With the official launch of $AMATO, there is a risk that fake tokens may circulate.

Official Contract Address (CA)

When purchasing $AMATO, be sure to confirm using one of the following:

• Verify the contract address (CA)
• Select $AMATO from the Verify tab in the Smart Pocket app

Smart Pocket’s “Verify Token” system makes it easy to identify official partner IPs at a glance. Use it to trade safely.

$AMATO 1st Snapshot Information

There’s one more piece of exciting news.

Information about the $AMATO 1st Snapshot has been announced!

Snapshot Details

• Eligible: Presale purchases + market purchases
• Date/Time: TBD
• Application: Not required (automatic snapshot)
• Presale portion: Included automatically even if you haven’t claimed

“What is this snapshot for?”

It hasn’t been revealed officially yet—but that’s exactly what makes it exciting.

In the Smart Pocket ecosystem, snapshots have previously led to airdrops and special perks. With $AMATO too, something exciting is likely waiting.

Even if you haven’t claimed your presale allocation, it will still be included in the snapshot automatically—no application needed. Of course, any additional market purchases will also count.

Why $AMATO, and Why Now?

As a Verified Token, $AMATO is a core IP within the Smart Pocket ecosystem.

This isn’t just a token issuance.

• Integration with the $SP ecosystem: airdrop events, cross-IP collaborations, participation in ranking systems
• AI AMATO: a next-generation experience where you can hold natural conversations with the character
• Open IP: a mechanism where fan art and derivative works can be officially incorporated
• Future governance participation: the community decides the project’s direction

We move from “consumers” to “participants,” and then to “co-creators.”

$AMATO is the symbol of that transformation.

Summary

• December 15, 2025: $AMATO officially launched
• December 16, 2025, 16:00 (JST): Vesting began
• Vesting period: 24 months (updated every second)
• 1st Snapshot: Presale + market purchases eligible (no application required)

The story of $AMATO is only just beginning.

Watch the vesting progress, look forward to the snapshot results, and grow together as part of this new character economy.

Doesn’t that feel exciting?
