《Arthur Hayes on Why We Need a Currency for AI Agents—FLOP》BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes believes that in the future, AI agents will need to continuously purchase computing power, store memory, and engage in economic activities. However, there is currently no unified currency or market that can directly and transparently exchange computing power. To address this, Flop Network plans to use FLOP as the native currency for the AI agent economy and reward miners who complete AI reasoning tasks through a 'Proof of Useful Reasoning' mechanism. The project plans to allocate about 20% of the token supply for airdrops over the next decade to reward users who genuinely participate in the network. No tokens will be sold at this stage. The testnet is expected to go live in late October this year, with the mainnet launch anticipated in Q1 next year. Hayes also noted that the project's success depends on whether an agent-based economy emerges and whether AI agents will use FLOP to exchange computing power.
