FLock.io is a decentralized artificial intelligence model training and validation network. It breaks down the walled gardens of model creation and development by a few tech companies by making computation, data contribution, and training composable. The team consists of cutting-edge researchers, including several PhDs in computer science from Oxford University. It is supported by major investors: DCG, Lightspeed Faction, Volt, Tagus, OKX Ventures, and others.
This round of price increase is mainly driven by two factors. First, the FLOCK project team has locked up about 25% of the token supply (approximately 43.1 million tokens), with an average lock-up period of 265 days, effectively reducing circulation and enhancing market scarcity. Second, FLOCK has launched spot trading on exchanges, attracting a large number of new users while driving speculative buying, further pushing up the price. Additionally, FLOCK users can earn gmFLOCK as a participation certificate through locking, enhancing ecosystem activity. As the AI computing platform and alliance ecosystem continue to expand, market expectations for FLOCK remain high, and overall sentiment remains optimistic, becoming an important driving force for the price increase.
