Arthur Hayes Unveils Fair-Launch Tokenomics for AI-Focused Blockchain Project FLOP
Renowned blockchain and cryptocurrency entrepreneur Arthur Hayes has unveiled the tokenomics for his latest project, FLOP. The AI-focused blockchain will use a fair-launch model and a novel consensus mechanism called Proof of Useful Inference (PoUI). This mechanism allows an agent to spend FLOP on computing resources, making it a payment for AI inference.
The entire 2.48346 billion-token genesis supply of FLOP will be distributed via airdrop in the fourth quarter of 2026. This airdrop is ahead of the Q1 2027 genesis block, which marks the official launch of the project.
