FLock.io is a decentralized training platform based on federated learning. By incentivizing the community to provide training data and model feedback, it democratizes the creation and tuning of models. Protocols and developers can use FLock to train models specific to their own use cases, such as AI companions, function call models, sensor analysis, etc. The platform aims to democratize the training, fine-tuning, and reasoning of AI agents, and promote data privacy protection and sovereignty through federated learning.

Investment Background
The project's seed round financing scale is as high as 6 million US dollars. Lightspeed Faction and Tagus Capital jointly led this seed round of financing, and other well-known institutions such as DCG, Volt Capital, and OKX Ventures also participated.
With this funding, FLock plans to advance the project's mission of democratizing the creation, governance, and ownership of AI agents. Its goal is to take power back from the world's largest companies and distribute decision-making power and rewards to the community.
It is worth noting that Faction is Lightspeed's Web3 investment department and one of the world's most famous AI investors. It has led investments in projects such as Elon Musk's #XAI.
Digital Currency Group (DCG) is a household name in Web3 and is the parent company of several large Web3 institutions including Foundry (BTC mining) and Grayscale (ETF). DCG is also a key investor in Bittensor and many other top projects in the AI+crypto space.
The Flock team has been rooted in the artificial intelligence industry for many years, with top #AI-related academic backgrounds (Oxford University and BCG) and deep and solid foundation. They have made core contributions to many leading open source#AIprojects and published many papers in top computer science academic journals. The project's technical foundation is very solid!
Node mining introduction:
Flock officially launched AI Arena (a large-scale decentralized AI training platform). It is a global first and marks an important milestone in the combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain, realizing full-stack decentralized artificial intelligence training. Developers can compete and collaborate on a leaderboard similar to Kaggle, using their own computing resources or decentralized computing resources. Models are trained through local and crowdsourced data sets to build AI agents.
Through the FLock training platform, we have achieved the first end-to-end AI fine-tuning lifecycle introduced into Web3, thus bringing the following advantages to Web3+AI projects:
1ïžâŁ Increase transparency and engagement
2ïžâŁIntroduce incentive mechanisms to ensure fair contribution and security
3ïžâŁ Democratize AI, enabling different communities to develop AI models for custom purposes
Many institutional backers are already actively involved, notably Foundry (foundrydigital.com), which has committed significant resources to the Future Stars program, as well as active communities from top universities, Kaggle, and the Numerai community.
Mining tutorial:
1. Hardware parameter requirements: 4-core CPU + 16G running memory + 80G hard disk
2. Install Linux system environment: Ubuntu system
3. Go to train.flock.io/faucet to get $FML test coins, free of charge, no whitelist required.
4. Enter the staking interface: train.flock.io/stake . Select the training node - select the training task - stake 30 $FML, and finally select stake.
5. Click the wallet in the upper right corner - scroll down the menu - click the API button - enter the API interface - copy your own API.
6. Go to huggingface.co/settings/tokens and register your own account. Click the Access Tokens menu - click Create New Token - name it 'Flock' and check other options - finally copy and save your ID for later use.
7. When choosing a training task, it is recommended to give priority to No. 10, as it has a higher reward.
Chainbase (@ChainbaseHQ) is the worldâs largest full-chain data network. Tencent has invested in the project, which aims to integrate all blockchain data into a unified ecosystem, providing an open and transparent data interoperability layer for the AI ââera. Chainbase recently raised $15 million in Series A funding to promote an open AGI economy.
#Chainbase and#FLockhave collaborated to create a powerful model for blockchain-related data. Help develop a model that allows people to easily query on-chain data using simple natural language commands without complex SQL syntax. Currently, this training is also the most popular and has the greatest reward potential among #Flock's 11 training tasks!
8. Perform the validator node installation.
Applicable to Mainland China: wget -O flock.sh git.dadunode.com/smeb_y/Flock/r⊠&& chmod +x flock.sh && ./flock.sh
Apply globally: wget -O flock.sh raw.githubusercontent.com/a3165458/Flock⊠&& chmod +x flock.sh && ./flock.sh

9. Receive rewards
Rewards are distributed every 24 hours (UTC time). You can claim your rewards through the web app.
After connecting your Web3 wallet to train.flock.io, you can claim your rewards by following these steps:
âą Navigate to the Validators tab on the Staking page
âą Make sure you have $FML available to claim your staked tasks
âą Click to claim $FML
Summary: FLock.io provides an innovative and secure method for creating and training AI models by combining decentralized computing resources, federated learning, and blockchain technology. The project's cooperation with io.net further enhances the computing power and cost-effectiveness of the platform, providing a solid foundation for future AI development. The project is currently in its early stages, and node mining is worth participating in.
