Innovative blockchain project Floki has joined forces with Rice Robotics to launch its FLOKI Minibot M1 ahead of TOKEN2049 Dubai.
Powered by Rice Robotics’ decentralized AI protocol, RICE AI, the FLOKI Minibot M1 has been designed to feature as an AI-powered companion robot that combines robotics, blockchain, and tokenized rewards.
Following its design, the robot is capable of handling day-to-day tasks, such as managing grocery lists, scheduling household chores, and even providing bedtime stories or dancing to users’ favorite music, while adapting to their personality and preferences over time.
Rice Robotics Unveils RICE Token Launch
The collaboration, marking the next big chapter in decentralized physical AI (DePAI), a concept where robots can learn, share data, and self-upgrade using blockchain-backed protocols, has also seen Rice Robotics disclose plans to launch its RICE token.
According to the announcement, the RICE token, which serves as the main utility token of the RICE AI protocol that integrates real-world usage with on-chain incentives, will be available for users of the FLOKI Minibot M1 to earn through interaction.
Hence, this turns ordinary conversations and commands into valuable AI training data, rewarding users for their participation in the ecosystem.
Notably, the $RICE token will be launched through the TokenFi Launchpad, allowing $TOKEN stakers to participate in the early sale.
In addition, airdrops are coming for both $FLOKI and $TOKEN holders, further enhancing the growing utility of the FLOKI ecosystem. The $RICE token will serve various functions within the RICE AI ecosystem, including access to premium features, AI upgrades, and data exchange within decentralized physical AI networks.
FLOKI Becomes Gold Sponsor at TOKEN2049 Dubai
The debut of the FLOKI Miniboy M1 comes as FLOKI seeks to make its mark as an official Gold Sponsor of TOKEN2049 Dubai, one of the world’s premier crypto events scheduled for April 30–May 1, 2025.
While this reflects its expanding ecosystem and bold push into utility-driven innovation, the crypto’s branding will also feature across venue signage, tables, and marketing campaigns.
Moreover, Floki’s Community Relations Officer will deliver a keynote on the IO NET Stage titled “How utility will shape the memecoin revolution.” The event will culminate in “AFTER 2049,” the official closing party, also sponsored by FLOKI.
