In the early morning of May 2nd Beijing time, the AI agent and virtual influence platform Fleek will officially launch the $FLK token sale on CoinList.
Fleek is known as the "Shopify of AI," dedicated to enabling developers, creators, and brands to quickly build, deploy, and monetize their AI agents and Virtual Influencers without complex infrastructure. So far, Fleek has received support from projects like Eliza (formerly ai16z) and Venice AI, becoming a notable new force in the Agentic AI field.
What Core Problems Does Fleek Aim to Solve?
AI Agent applications are currently rising at an astonishing speed. However, in the actual implementation process, developers still face challenges such as complex deployment operations, security and privacy risks, high costs, and insufficient scalability.
Specifically, although traditional mainstream cloud service providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure offer rich infrastructure components, they lack an integrated solution for AI agent scenarios. Developers must build and maintain server clusters, configure networks and security groups, and orchestrate containers and load balancing from scratch, a process that takes hours or even days to complete a single deployment.
On the other hand, AI agents often need to process large amounts of sensitive data and complex models during runtime. Traditional cloud environments lack built-in Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), making it difficult to fundamentally prevent data leakage or malicious attacks, thus posing risks to scenarios with extremely high privacy compliance requirements like finance and healthcare.
Moreover, for developers and enterprises, continuous reasoning and state management of AI agents consume significant computing power. On-demand cloud resources see costs skyrocket during peak access periods while being idle during low-traffic times, resulting in a low overall return on investment. Facing the needs of multi-agent concurrency and global access, conventional infrastructure also faces challenges in scalability and low-latency guarantees, often requiring additional maintenance and optimization to barely meet performance requirements.
To address these challenges, Fleek has built a platform specifically designed for deploying, managing, and monetizing AI agents and virtual influencers, unifying LLM integration, hosted deployment, MCP, TEE, agent function management, and monetization tools into a seamless experience and marketplace. Based on the Eliza framework, Fleek's AI hosting solution, combined with Fleek Machines and Fleek's own deployment capabilities, provides developers with a comprehensive solution integrating infrastructure and development experience.
One-Stop AI Agent Service Platform
In the past, deploying AI agents required professional developers and complex security settings with ongoing infrastructure management. By transforming AI agent deployment into a simple process, it eliminates DevOps complexity. The platform supports three deployment methods, including directly uploading JSON role files, filling out agent configurations via forms, or using preset templates. The entire process can be completed within 30 seconds without additional infrastructure configuration or script operations.
In terms of security and privacy, Fleek uses TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) in Fleek Machines to ensure the autonomy, verifiability, security, and privacy of AI agents. Fleek Machines is a lightweight TEE VM with Docker support, providing builders a seamless way to utilize long-running (TEE) for verifiable and/or confidential computing use cases. By using remote attestation and reproducible builds, anyone can verify the authenticity of the agent and the code running in TEE, as well as validate the privacy of all sensitive data, creating a secure environment for AI agent operation and user-agent interactions.
Additionally, Fleek Machines supports running any application that can run in Docker, enabling seamless integration with all Web2, Web3 frameworks, languages, and protocols. Compared to traditional TEE services, Fleek offers higher performance and lower-cost infrastructure, shortening time-to-market while significantly reducing development and maintenance expenses. Developers can flexibly choose agent running nodes based on business needs, and when access traffic surges, the platform automatically scales up within seconds without manual intervention, achieving a one-stop hosting experience with edge optimization and global distribution.
$FLK Token Economics
The $FLK token is the pillar of the Fleek ecosystem, targeting developers, creators, consumers, brands, node operators, and even AI agents and virtual influencers themselves. Its design goal is to deeply bind ecosystem participants with platform value through token incentives and rights allocation.
The total supply of $FLK is 100 million, with an FDV valuation of $75 million. This public sale on CoinList is 6.67 million tokens, accounting for 6.67%, fully unlocked with no lock-up or vesting period. Compared to private round investors, this public sale offers a lower price and 100% unlocking to reflect the community-first concept and ensure maximum profit space for early builders and users.
In terms of actual utility, the main uses of $FLK tokens include:
- Platform Access and Rights: Staking to obtain Fleek platform usage credits and advanced feature access. Additionally, users can become operators by staking, running Fleek infrastructure, and earning network rewards.
- Market and Creator Incentives: In the Fleek ecosystem, token holders can get priority display and revenue sharing bonuses for AI agents and virtual influencers. Fleek also incentivizes community creation of high-quality agents and influencers through $FLK token rewards to accelerate ecosystem prosperity.
- Branding and Marketing: Brands and companies can use $FLK to unlock exclusive marketing tools, including advanced features for expanding social, influencer marketing, and user-generated content (UGC) campaigns.
- Burning Mechanism: A portion of platform revenue is used to repurchase and burn $FLK, creating a deflationary effect.
