Arthur Hayes unveils Flop, his new venture building a currency purpose-built for AI agents to pay for compute. He walks through why he named it after floating point operations, why there’s no presale or VC allocation in the tokenomics, and how the “proof of useful inference” mining model splits work between miners and validators.
He also makes the case for why agents will reject stablecoins and fiat rails entirely, and how the airdrop is designed to solve the currency’s discovery problem.
