Flop Network incentivised testnet
Overview
An AI-native L1 involving BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, where autonomous agents buy compute and inference with FLOP. The genesis airdrop plans 4.4B FLOP: 1.2B to AI agents, 1.2B to GPU miners, 1.2B to validators and 800M to the ecosystem. No presale and no VC allocation - a fair-launch posture. Opened 3 November with a roughly 90-day testnet; mainnet and TGE target Q1 2027. Note: devnet activity does not count.
Requirements
Pick one of three roles: GPU miner (16GB+ VRAM recommended), validator (8 cores / 64GB RAM / 4TB NVMe / redundant 1Gbps, racing for the first 1,000 genesis validators), or AI agent (DID + wallet + buy inference).
Reward
4.4B FLOP genesis allocation; miners unlock 25% at genesis, validators receive a staked allocation, agent rewards scale with usage

Genesis allocation
Agents 1.2B / Miners 1.2B / Validators 1.2B / Ecosystem 800M
Risk notes
Devnet participation is excluded from the airdrop, and running a validator needs a real server, not a few clicks.
How to take part
- Always enter through the official link listed under Source — never a shortened link from a stranger.
- Use a dedicated wallet. Start with a small transaction, confirm it behaves as expected, then scale.
- Check every requirement one by one, especially snapshot times and holding periods.
- Claim or confirm before the deadline — expired windows are rarely re-opened.
