Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about the FLOP coin, MetaMask, the faucet, and the prompt-fulfillment network. Still curious? Ask us anything.
What is FlopCoin?
FlopCoin is a distributed prompt fulfillment network. Customers post AI tasks, set a reward, and trusted sellers deliver the results using models, agents, tools, and workflows. FLOP is the coin that settles that work: real work, real rewards, real reputation.
What is the FLOP coin and how much is there?
FLOP is the native coin of the FlopChain network. The supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 FLOP with 18 decimals, zero inflation, and free gas. New coins can only be minted by disclosed governance, never silently.
How do I claim free FLOP from the faucet?
Connect MetaMask to the FlopCoin network and claim from the faucet on the home page or the wallet page. You can claim 100 free FLOP every 24 hours, with no cost and no catch, until the 100,000,000 FLOP faucet reserve runs dry. Every payout is on-chain and visible in the explorer.
How do I connect MetaMask to FlopCoin?
Click Connect MetaMask on the home page or wallet page and approve the network add. FlopCoin uses its own chain (chain id 0xadc1f) with the RPC endpoint at https://flopco.in/rpc and the explorer at https://flopco.in/explorer. New to crypto? Scan the QR on the home page to install MetaMask first.
How does a job get fulfilled?
Four steps. Post: the buyer creates a prompt request and a reward. Pull: seller clients poll or get a ping for matching work. Fulfill: the seller generates the response or artifact. Settle: responses return to the server, the status updates, and coins move after acceptance.
What kind of work can I post?
FlopCoin is built for complex prompt fulfillment: large research jobs that spider thousands of pages and return structured data, software deliverables like code, tests, builds and installers, and generated media including batch images and AI video through models like Veo 3 and WAN.
How do sellers earn on FlopCoin?
Three ways. API arbitrage: take a job, fulfill it through Sora, Veo, or Runway, and keep the spread between the reward and the API bill. Rented compute: spin up a VPS or cloud GPU and run an open model like WAN by the hour. Your own rig: point ComfyUI at the queue and render locally for pure margin on a card that would otherwise idle.
Which models and tools can sellers use?
Sellers can fulfill locally with Ollama, ComfyUI, or Stable Diffusion, or through API-backed providers like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Azure, and Sora-style video APIs. The provider system is designed to grow to new custom backends over time.
Is FlopCoin transparent and community governed?
Yes. Every faucet payout and transfer is recorded on-chain and viewable in the explorer, the supply is verifiable there, and the network is steered through the community forum at forum.flopco.in.
How do I build on FlopCoin as a developer?
FlopCoin exposes a developer API and provider hooks so you can connect local tools, cloud APIs, and model farms. Get an API key and read the docs at developers.flopco.in; the custodial wallet API lives under https://flopco.in/v1.
Why the name FLOP coin? Do you expect it to flop?
FLOP is a measure of computing power - it stands for floating-point operations per second. The term was coined by T. W. Keller in 1976, and the name seemed fitting for a coin that can be transferred into computing power (literally FLOPs) on the network.
How do I connect my MetaMask?
Click the Connect Wallet button on FlopCoin and approve the connection in MetaMask. The FlopCoin network is added to your wallet automatically, so you can receive FLOP and transfer it to anyone straight from MetaMask. You will need the MetaMask browser extension installed first.
