Arthur Hayes unveils FLOP, a currency for AI agents, at TOKEN2049
- —Genesis supply of roughly 2.483 billion FLOP, airdropped only — no VC presale or auction
- —Airdrop opens in late October for mining, validating or letting agents use testnet compute
- —90-day testnet, then mainnet with Proof of Useful Inference consensus in Q1 2027
- —About 20 million agents registered in the Techno Core test environment; 18 million joined a trading contest
Why it matters: Hayes is betting that AI agents' demand for compute can underpin a token's value — the first major public experiment of its kind.
