Arthur Hayes has circulated a four-step tutorial for claiming the planned Flop Network airdrop. Users must generate an Ed25519 DID (decentralized digital identity) key pair for an AI agent, publish the public key to the Technocore registry, sign a check-in message with the private key and send an HTTP GET request to /lobby, then store the private key locally for use when the Q4 snapshot is taken. Hayes previously announced on the 19th that he would end his retirement, lead Flop Labs and launch the FLOP token. He said FLOP would serve as "food for AI Agents," with no presale or venture-capital participation and a 100% fair-launch model aimed at creating the currency of an Agentic Economy. Further details are expected later, with a large airdrop anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026.
