During our most recent monthly community AMA, a community member asked if the team is actively negotiating with other mainstream Web2 animated IPs for upcoming TokenFi Launchpad releases.
Our Core Advisor, B (

We stopped actively engaging with partner projects using the airdrop-to-holders model as has been previously communicated a few times in the past, and we’ve actually turned down or ignored several projects that have reached out to cooperate with us based on this kind of arrangement.
This was a difficult decision for us, but we made it after paying careful attention to the community and seeing a vocal majority being in favor of stopping this kind of partnerships. We’ll communicate if this changes in the future.
In the meanwhile, we’re focused on deepening our collaboration with existing partners while unlocking more value for Floki and TokenFi holders alongside their ecosystem.
For example, $RICE was the last project we had this kind of partnership with and there is so much going on with their ecosystem that I think people should be paying attention to.
Naturally, in a bear market nobody pays attention… but in a bull market it suddenly makes a lot of sense when price starts to trend up again.
The intersection of crypto and robotics is a very big, untapped market with massive potential. It’s hard to imagine a project with better potential to succeed in this sector than $RICE. Many might not have been paying attention, but they’ve been building hard, forming strategic partnerships, pursuing strategic educational outreach initiatives across the globe, etc.
Their token price action might not make it seem like it right now, but I think it’s going to be clear in hindsight that we delivered a winner to Floki and TokenFi holders with this one.
I should also add that Floki/TokenFi holders got a batch of $RICE airdrop last week, and another one should be due this week all things being equal. There is also quite a bit more of this coming to Floki and TokenFi holders in the future.
So again, we are unlikely to partner with a new project on this kind of initiative in line with our community’s wishes, but we are committed to actively supporting strong projects like RICE to help unlock the most value for our community and theirs!
