As we kick off the new year, we couldn’t be more excited for what’s in store. Having just delivered our TGE on Base Mainnet, we’re setting the stage for the next wave of decentralized, privacy-first AI development. Thanks to all of our community for getting us to this point.

This is the culmination of years of hard work, collaboration, and a shared vision. Since we got started in 2022, we’ve been on a mission to revolutionize AI by making it private, secure, and truly community-driven. The FLOCK token is the heart and soul of what makes this whole thing tick. It’s how we reward and incentivize everyone in the ecosystem, making it easy (and fun) to get involved.

If you were part of our incentivized testnet, you can check your airdrop eligibility here: https://train.flock.io/airdrop. And now you can hop on the FLock platform, contribute to decentralized AI training, and start earning FLOCK tokens. It’s that simple. You can grab FLOCK tokens on Bybit and other exchanges now.

How we got here

This isn’t our first rodeo. Here’s a quick recap of 2024’s success:

• Funding Wins: We nailed a $6 million seed round in March 2024 and wrapped up a strategic funding round just last month, led by DCG.
• Testnet Success: Our incentivized testnet on Base Sepolia (Launched May 2024) brought in loads of participants and helped us fine-tune everything.
• Growing Ecosystem: We’ve got nearly 20,000 AI models, 600+ training nodes, 1,000 validators, 63,000 delegators, and a whopping 700,000 end users. Yep, it’s as awesome as it sounds.
• Recognition & Partnerships: From an Ethereum Foundation Academic Grant to teaming up with Morpheus, IO.net, and Aptos, the FLock continues to grow.

Our Product Suite

Our products are all about making AI development collaborative and exciting. Here’s what you can dig into now, with more still to come:

• AI Arena: Think of it as an AI playground where developers can compete, innovate, and have fun.
• FL Alliance: A federated learning platform for secure and decentralized collaboration.
• AI Marketplace: Your one-stop shop for interacting with and deploying trained models.

Building the Future, Together

With over 30 advanced models and more than 2.5 million model and validation submissions, we’re proving that community-driven AI development isn’t just a dream—it’s happening. Our focus is on transparency, ownership, and making sure everyone involved benefits.

“The mainnet launch and TGE are huge steps forward for FLock.io,” said Jiahao Sun, our CEO and Co-Founder. “With the power of Base, we’re giving builders, users—anyone—the tools to create and collaborate on privacy-first AI models. And the FLOCK token is what ties it all together to make this ecosystem thrive.”

What's Next for Us?

This launch is just the beginning. We’re more committed than ever to pushing the boundaries of privacy-preserving, community-driven AI development. Our Roadmap for 2025 has some ambitious goals. But this isn’t everything. Our goals and ambitions are only going to grow. So come along for the ride and help us shape a new era for deAI.
