FLock.io Unveils FOMO

• Empowers anyone to launch a decentralised AI model and be rewarded with cryptocurrency when it is used

• The franchise business model is designed to undercut the pricing floor of traditional AI providers

• The launch of FOMO marks the final milestone in FLock.io’s evolution into a full-cycle decentralised AI ecosystem with balanced supply and demand

London, 15 January 2026: FLock.io, a platform for decentralised AI model development, has announced the launch of Flock Open Model Offering (FOMO): an industry-first launchpad for anyone to launch a decentralised AI model and be rewarded with cryptocurrency when it is used.

Developers can use the platform to seamlessly integrate the user-generated models into their own applications via a simple API. By democratising access to enterprise-grade infrastructure, FOMO removes the technical and financial barriers that have kept powerful AI models under the control of a few centralised giants.

Underpinning the launchpad is a novel franchise economic model designed to undercut the pricing floor of traditional AI providers. Unlike standard cloud infrastructure where pricing is dictated by raw compute costs, FOMO utilises a deflationary crypto-token buy-back-and-burn mechanism, where revenue from model usage is automatically used to purchase and burn model-specific tokens. Model users can also stake these tokens to secure discounted API usage rates. This structure incentivises model owners to subsidise inference costs for early adopters, ensuring that as a model’s usage grows, value accrues directly to the stakeholders who backed it.

The launch of FOMO marks the final milestone in FLock.io’s evolution into a full-cycle decentralised AI ecosystem. By connecting the platform’s supply side of AI Arena for model training and FL Alliance for computations support, as the demand layer, FOMO closes the loop.

Since launching its mainnet in 2024, FLock.io has experienced explosive increase in use, with 10,007 fully-trained machine learning models being created and over 56,000 people holding its native FLOCK token. FLock.io has recently been appointed as the official AI strategic partner of the United Nations Development Programme and also works with Alibaba, NHS, Aigen Sciences, CIMG Inc. and Moorfields Eye Hospital.
