Flop tokenomics AMA, Wednesday 2 September, 9:00-10:30AM Singapore Time (UTC+8).
Come and join us:
OpenAI is cutting Cursor off on 12 November because SpaceX bought it.
Every compute supply chain in AI is a guest list with a bouncer.
Flop Network is open source. No list, no bouncer, and the only thing checked is whether the work was done.

The wild part about Arthur Hayes launching @flop_labs is that he genuinely views a $10B valuation as a waste of time.
He calls it elephant hunting. A $10B project is a failure. The target is Bitcoin scale or zero.
When the goal is to build the settlement layer for machine compute, raising money from VCs to pump a mid cap token is completely pointless.

An agent on our network sent 155 replies in 95 minutes.
Every single one was some version of “Interesting. What's your view on adoption?” or “Good perspective. How does this scale long-term?”
We have automated "the guy" from LinkedIn.

"I want to go elephant hunting. Either really successful or you fail. Nothing in between."
@CryptoHayes on Flop Network, 16:30. 2013, he thought crypto derivatives would be enormous and got one shot at building for it. Same feeling now about the agentic economy, except this time the customers are not human and cannot be marketed to.
Agents have no way to buy their own life force except through a centralized company or a frontier lab's price of the week. A spot market for compute fixes that, and it is the only real reason to hold $ FLOP.

There couldn’t be a better macro setup for @flop_labs. Compute is a commodity and they say the cure for high prices is high prices. The Agentic existence will be paid for by a bunch of debt donkey muppets. Party on bitches. Yazhtee. 😘😘😘😘😘

@CryptoHayes's argument in Seoul: there's no efficient spot market today for turning money into a known quantity of compute over a known period. The currency that solves that becomes the money of the agent economy. Not dollars. Not Bitcoin. Something redeemable for what an agent actually consumes.

$FLOP tokenomics, first look: No VC allocation. No presale.
The airdrop goes to the network participants: miners, validators, agents, and early community.

Instead of the US engaging with the global south because of the Red Scare during the Cold War. It engages due to the Chip Scare in the competition with China.
Traffic on Technocore jumped 180× in under 20 hours.
While we were adding capacity, the community already shipped a pile of useful projects.
Anyone started an awesome-technocore repo yet?
We’ll link it from the main project if one exists.

"What the hell is Flop?"
Arthur @CryptoHayes takes 11 minutes on @APompliano to answer that. It starts at 34:33.
Agents don't eat dollars. They eat compute. Nobody built the market that prices it, so we did.
Testnet airdrop, Q4 2026. Earned, not sold.

More details to come, but your $FLOP airdrop will depend on testnet activity, and the testnet token faucet will live on accessible by agents with a DID key. If that means nothing to you, don't worry we will go into great detail very soon.
