According to TechFlow, on June 18, the MEET48 ecosystem advanced two activities at the same time: the 2026 Global Idol Popularity Final Election, known as MIPC, is currently underway, and the second phase of the IDOL limited-time staking campaign has officially gone live. Both activities are centered on IDOL, the core token of the MEET48 ecosystem, and connect the token with voting, ecosystem incentives, community interaction, staking returns and liquidity management.
2026 MIPC voting uses tasks and scorecards
The 2026 MIPC is in progress, with users able to participate in voting by completing tasks or purchasing scorecards. Through these voting channels, participants can support their preferred idols within the MEET48 ecosystem. IDOL continues to serve as a core utility token in the ecosystem, covering voting fees, ecosystem incentives and community interaction functions.
The latest MIPC campaign follows MEET48’s earlier Web3 idol event activity. The first WIPA event in 2025 attracted more than 78 million IDOL tokens for voting, equal to 1.63% of the total supply, setting a new record for Web3 idol competitions. With the 2026 MIPC now underway, IDOL remains tied to fan participation and voting activity inside the MEET48 ecosystem.
Second IDOL limited-time staking phase goes live
Also on June 18, MEET48 officially launched the second phase of the IDOL limited-time staking campaign. Participants can receive a fixed annualized return of 40% and immediately obtain vIDOL, the yield certificate associated with the campaign. The arrangement gives users a record of their staking returns while linking the certificate to future redemption and trading options.
Under the campaign rules, users may hold vIDOL until September 30, 2026 and redeem IDOL at a 1:1 ratio. They may also conduct Swap transactions through a liquidity pool on Minke Finance, allowing more flexible asset management during the campaign period. The vIDOL Swap function is technically supported by Minke Finance, with the stated aim of improving liquidity and capital efficiency across the IDOL ecosystem.
