The Emerging badge in purple marks IPs that eSmart AI has identified as showing rapid growth signals — fast-rising social momentum, increasing fan demand, and early licensing activity.
Examples include Frieren, Solo Leveling, Palworld, Hazbin Hotel, and The Amazing Digital Circus. Emerging IPs often represent the best licensing opportunities because early positions command better deal terms before the market catches up.
