Animoca Brands launches AliBAE with Qwen, 100,000 CHECK rewards

Animoca Brands Launches AliBAE: Earn 100K CHECK Tokens

Animoca Brands, a global digital assets leader, introduced AliBAE (“build-and-earn”), a platform powered by Alibaba’s Qwen models. It allows creators to build AI content and apps while earning rewards based on quality and community input.

AliBAE is now live in early access at alibae.build. The launch includes 100,000 CHECK Token rewards across two campaigns led by Animoca Minds and King’s Gambit.

AliBAE uses a build-and-earn model that connects brands and creators through bounty campaigns. Brands share a task and set CHECK Token rewards. Creators use AliBAE Studio, powered by Alibaba’s Qwen models, to make videos, apps, and content. Rewards depend on community response and AliBAE team review.

AliBAE Studio is built into AliBAE. Each task already comes as a ready prompt, so new creators can start easily without much effort. As of January 2026, Alibaba’s Qwen models had over 700 million downloads on Hugging Face. They are the most downloaded open-source AI models and have helped create over 180,000 new models worldwide.

The CHECK Token, now added to the Coinbase listing roadmap, is key to the AliBAE system. Creators earn CHECK by making content that performs well in campaigns. It is used in games, items, and voting in the Checkmate Ecosystem. This network includes Anichess, built by Animoca Brands with Chess.com, which has over one million players. AliBAE now expands CHECK use beyond gaming.

To start, 100,000 CHECK tokens are offered as rewards across two launch campaigns: Animoca Minds and King’s Gambit.

Animoca Minds, a cloud-based AI platform by Animoca Brands, is offering 50,000 CHECK tokens. Creators must make a 20-second AI video showing how personal AI agents can help daily life. Entries are judged 50% by community response and 50% by quality. This campaign runs until 24 March 2026.

King’s Gambit, a chess survival mobile game by Anichess, is also offering 50,000 CHECK tokens for short video content inspired by the game. Winners are chosen based on quality scores. This campaign also runs until 24 March 2026.

AliBAE is made to fix problems in the creator economy. In 2025, the global creator market reached $254.4 billion and may grow to $2,084.57 billion by 2035 (Precedence Research). Still, most rewards go to a small group of creators. Many platforms reward activity, not quality. AliBAE aims to reward better work and real creative effort.

Chevan Tin from Animoca Brands said many systems focus on how much people do, not how good the work is. AliBAE links rewards to quality and user response. With Qwen tools and CHECK rewards, it gives creators a simple way to build and earn.
