Floki Meme Coin Project Update🟠INTERVIEW · The Paul Barron Crypto Show

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Today let's dive into a little bit about the meme
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: coin market what it's going to look like. I think
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you guys want to check this one out. My name
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is Paul Baron. Welcome back in the tech path. Today
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we're going to be diving in on the project Floky.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: This course is a channel partner of PBN and we
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to understand a little bit more how communities are built,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: how the meme coin market could progress around twenty twenty five,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to invite pedro Vidal from Floky into
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Paul, thank you so much for having us on. It's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: always a good day when we get to talk about
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: all the great work we're doing that Floky. So essentially,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: floky's a community run project. We've been around since twenty
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: twenty one, and oddly enough, we're actually the first community takeover,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: so i'll it's become kind of like a buzz with CTOs.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Floky actually pioneered the movement and there's been a series
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of challenges that we've had to overcome, which many in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the blockchain space have had to do over the last
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: couple of years. But in terms of our growth and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: what we've been able to do with these last couple
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: of years, was essentially be able to grow from our origins.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: And if you know a little bit about our history,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and for those that may not do a quick recap,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we were actually rub pulled by our original developer and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the second developer that came in also right left with
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the funds. So I left our community without a developer.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And many projects don't make it of that position, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: there's many projects that are in the blockchain grave, so
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to speak. But it's a true testament to the power
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of our community and our current core team that we're
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: able to essentially provide as guidance and the community wanted
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to do something special and out of that is the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: flowky as we know it today. Now. It certainly hasn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: been easy to get to where we are, but I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: think it's important to understand what our secret sauces right
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and from the very beginning, we wanted to be different.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: So in order to be different, we had to tackle
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: some of the big problems in blockchain, because most projects
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: they want to be relevant but not necessarily effective, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we like to think that we follow a dual prong
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: approach where we can be innovative in the space but
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: not lose our meme origins. But in order to do that,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we had to tackle some serious problems. Right first, we
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: look at blockchain gaming. It's been plagued with the economy
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that's not sustainable, the play earned mechanics aren't always sound.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: So we decided, Okay, we're going to tackle this and
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: we're going to create a game that's able to improve
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: upon existing technology. But beyond that, we're going to do
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: all these other offerings. So we're going to get into
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the DeFi space, we're going to get into tokenization, we're
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: going to get into education, and we're going to have
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a chance to talk about that a little bit more
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: during our conversation. But that's how we've been able to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: get here is by constantly pushing the boundaries, not following
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: anyone's lead, being the world's first and many different silos,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and honestly showing the world what's possible with a project
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that's born in the meme space that's focused on utility.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Well, the thing that is interesting to me if you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: look at the just the lineup of the top market
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: cap tokens out there, Floky obviously coming in right below Bank,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You've got Pepe in Heirshiva, and of course Dojia. All
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: these are legendary tokens. You know, from the meme standpoint,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that's impressive to see a community be so strong, especially
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: under the circumstances that you guys came in from. But
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: interesting to me is also the fact that you've expanded
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: into some different areas in terms of the ecosystem. Within that,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: there was a couple of points.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I wanted to hit on.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: We've talked a little bit about Vohalla in the past,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you referenced a little bit about the game. We'll talk
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: about token Fi. But first of all, was it the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: community that was really driving Floky to expand the ecosystem
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: into some new areas or was this something that the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: devs and some of the key team leads wanted to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: do on their own.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: What was the driver behind that?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Well, initially one we started to actually pick up the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: pieces from the previous two developers. We wanted to make
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: sure that the community had power in the direction of
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the project. While many projects talk about that, we actually
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: put it into action. We were actually governed by a doubt.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: So when you look at some of the most strategic
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: decisions that have guided us to where we are today.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: They've actually been influenced by a Dow proposal and the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: subsequent approval of that doubt so the first utility offering
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of Valhalla. Once that was announced, it takes several years
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: to put out a good game, right because you could
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: fix the playdarn mechanics. You can make an economy that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: is sustainable, but if it's not fun, what's the point. Right?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: We want to be able to have our cake and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: eat it too. But it was very important for us
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to have our finger on the posts on what's important
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to our community, and we try to meet them where
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: they are. So we're very data driven in terms of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: our marketing and our strategic alliances. But we were listening
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to our community and they wanted to be part of
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a movement. They wanted something different. They wanted all the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: hoopla that you get from a main project, but they
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: also wanted to see utility that wasn't being offered by
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: other projects, and that's what we've decided to do. We
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: wanted to make sure that if we were going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: do gaming, we were going to get right. If we
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: were going to launch into the DeFi space, we wanted
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a massive DeFi protocol that not only was innovative, but
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that would push the tech forward. And that's exactly what
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we did with flocify. That is, you know, short for
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: flowky Finance, and we were in our first decentralized instrument
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: was our Flocified token locker, which actually took the tech
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: forward in the sense where you no longer have limitations
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: on how many years that you can actually lock your
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: your LP or other assets. Before there was you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: limitation between two hundred and forty and about four hundred
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and forty four hundred and fifty years, depending on the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: instagrams that you would use. But not only does our
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: platform adhere to the ERC eleven fifty five standard, which
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: is really important if you want to say fees, you
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: could also extend the lock time period for as long
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: as you want, million years, ten million years, one hundred
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: billion years. It's really up to you. So we've been
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: able to really push things forward and listen to our
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: community and they have the power, and when you're governed
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: by a doll those decisions are binding. And that's how
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: we got token FI. That's how we've been able to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: make sure that we burn the cross chain bridge. There's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: all these strategic dimensions to what we're doing, and behind
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: it all is our incredible community.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I like the fact that, again you know understanding
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: how these communities are are built. I think most people
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: looking at the meme markets right now, community.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Is really what this is about. So the fact that
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you guys have.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Been able to really kind of que in on that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and go with what the community's efforts are really focused
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: on is great. I want to also talk about the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: trading bot because this was an announcement that you guys
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: did on the trading bot and this.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Was a pretty big partnership with stocked with. So first
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: of all, how does it work?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: This happened over on February five, so this is something big.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You guys are going to get some pretty big exposure
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: here in general. What does this look like for Floaky
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and what will be some of the key features of this?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Well, when you look at what we're doing, it's always
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: important to look through the lens of how far can
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a mean project go if it's hyper focused on utility,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and depending on where you are in your blockchain experience timeline,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: rather you just started or you've been around for a while,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there's some instruments that are very important to have, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the trading bot is one of them. Right, if you
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: go back to the first couple of weeks that you
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: were into blockchain and you can remember what you had
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to go through to get into your favorite projects, you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: would realize that it's very cumbersome, right, and very frustrating.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So we wanted to follow suit with the successes and
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the high standards of our previous product offerings, but take
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: it further. So that's what our trading bot actually does,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: is the flowkey trading pot. It is utilized via Telegram.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: The idea is to make it better, stronger, faster, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: more secure, and then also add the elements of our
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: marketing and of our brand, which makes it truly unique.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Because not only are we planning on going to multiple
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: chains beyond what we currently offer, which is obviously you
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: know bmb eth recently Salana as well as Base, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you're able to have certain features in terms of certain
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: contests and campaigns where you can actually earn those fees back,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: certain rewards, certain air drops, and it was important for
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: us to be able to do that, and in its
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: very short lifespan, we've been able to cross over one
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty eight million dollars of total transactions thus far.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: All right, So looking at stock twits right here.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: First of all, I guess when you think about stock twits,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this is one of the biggest platforms out there in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: terms of interaction around.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Trading, big community.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: What was the process for you guys to hook up
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: with them?
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: How did this come about?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Well, the biggest thing is always delivering for our community,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: right And when you look at all the things that
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we're offer, all the products and services, our most valuable
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: asset is our community. So we always want to deliver.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: One of the main things that we take pride in
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: is that we're very selective with who we partner with
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and we do campaigns with. And as you were mentioning, right,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: stock twits is just one of these recent actions and
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: activations that we've been able to really catapult exposure for
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: our Floaty trading bot to their millions of users. It
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: was important for our community to understand that we want
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to make sure that the entire blockchain space is fully
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: aware of the Floaty trading bot, what it could do,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: what it has been doing, and what the future holds
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: for all those that may utilize it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So Pedro talk to me a little bit when you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: look at the roadmap for twenty twenty five around a major.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Project, like you, guys, Valhalla is.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Talking about a main net launch here in Q one.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Is this still on time? What's the timeline looking at
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: for right now?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Well, we are on schedule for a main net launch
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Q one of this year, so we're very very excited
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: about it. Right it may seem just like a point
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: within a certain timeline and roadmap, but for us, it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a lot more. And one thing for those that follow
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: us understand that a promise made Flowkey is a promise kept.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So we're very excited about the release of the main
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: net version of the game because it's accomplishing so much already.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You could play it on test net now if you
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: like it at the hall of that game. But we
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: really want the world to understand that a strong community
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: with great leadership, always focused on innovation and delivering at
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: the highest quality standards, there's really nothing that could limit
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you in the space.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the key here again is we start
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to see projects that evolve into game I mean community building.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: We're probably going to see a lot more in the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: way of a ton of tokens starting to make it
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: into the market. Are you guys at all worried about
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: how the because this is really the mean cooin bull run.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're seeing so many different projects being launched now,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You've got Ai tokens that are now launching projects. We've
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: got a variety of different initiatives that are happening out
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: there any plans to deal with that as twenty twenty
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: five rolls around.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I think a strong component is to offer education, right,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: so we don't worry about the additional projects entering the space,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: because when you're focused on fundamentals and providing enhanced utility,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: that's the road that we navigate by. What I do
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: worry for is for those that are part of the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: uninitiated and are recently stepping into crypto, they may not
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: fully understand the importance of digital security making sure that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you're have the right resources when you're doing your research.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: So we actually pioneered University of Flokey to have a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: robust curriculum to help those that want to know a
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: little bit more about blockchain, the issues that arise from
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: it from the security front, but also understanding the tech
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: behind it, and many many individuals don't Some folks really
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: don't care how blockchain works. They're just chasing green candles,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and hey, right, that's okay if that's your perspective. But
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: we want to have an entire knowledge base that's available
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: for those that want to see how far that rabbit
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: hole goes. It's actually incumbent upon us that are part
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: of these massive projects that utilize our platform to help
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: people get better and more educated in the space.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's a good it's a good effort
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: because this is one of the things that we hear
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: most of the time, even from our own audience, is
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: one they come to our channel. We're fairly well balanced
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: here in terms of what we look at in different
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: projects and themes.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: But I think the bigger arc here that we try
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: to focus.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: In on is again advising education and really doing your
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: own research, getting out there and because everybody's got a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: little bit of a different spin on how they want
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to invest.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: So it's good to see that you guys are putting
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: that together. All right, well, excellent.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We're going to be watching you guys very closely, pedro
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So for twenty twenty five. I can't wait to see
• 13:18
