Arthur Hayes Unveils FLOP Tokenomics as AI Network Introduces Proof of Inference

TL;DR:

• The network’s genesis supply was set at 2,483,460,000 FLOP tokens, fully allocated through airdrops with no presales or venture capital.
• The block reward starts at 96 FLOP tokens, distributed as 75% to miners, 10% to validators, 10% to agents, and 5% to staking participants.
• The emission schedule programmed a halving every 730 days across five phases, until reaching a permanent subsidy of 3 FLOP per block.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, published the technical whitepaper for FLOP Network this Monday. In the document, the executive details FLOP tokenomics and its consensus mechanism focused on artificial intelligence.

Proof of Useful Inference Architecture and Reward Distribution

FLOP Network implemented an account-based blockchain operating under a model dubbed Proof of Useful Inference (PoUI). According to the technical documentation shared by Hayes, this design replaces traditional cryptographic calculations with the direct resolution of computational requests for artificial intelligence models.
