Overview of Fleek: A fully managed platform for AI agents and virtual influencers.

To address the challenges of complex deployment, privacy risks, and insufficient scalability, Fleek has proposed an integrated AI agent solution.

At 12:00 AM Beijing time on May 2, the AI agent and virtual influence platform Fleek will officially launch the $FLK token sale on CoinList.

Fleek is known as the "Shopify of AI" and is dedicated to enabling developers, creators, and brands to quickly build, deploy, and monetize their own AI agents and virtual influencers without the need for complex infrastructure. As of now, Fleek has received support from projects like Eliza (formerly ai16z) and Venice AI, becoming a noteworthy new force in the field of Agentic AI.

What core issues does Fleek aim to solve?

AI Agent applications are currently emerging at an astonishing speed; however, during the actual implementation process, developers still face challenges such as complex deployment operations, security and privacy risks, high costs, and insufficient scalability.

Specifically, although traditional mainstream cloud service providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure offer a rich set of infrastructure components, they lack integrated solutions tailored for AI agent scenarios. Developers have to build and maintain server clusters from scratch, configure networks and security groups, orchestrate containers and load balancing, making the entire process time-consuming and labor-intensive, often taking hours or even days to complete a single deployment.

On the other hand, AI agents often need to handle a large amount of sensitive data and complex models during operation, while traditional cloud environments lack built-in Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) capabilities, making it difficult to fundamentally prevent data leaks or malicious attacks, thereby posing risks to scenarios such as finance and healthcare, which have extremely high privacy compliance requirements.

In addition, for developers and enterprises, the continuous reasoning and state management of AI agents consume a large amount of computing power. The cost of on-demand cloud resources skyrockets during peak access times, while resources are left idle during idle periods, resulting in a low overall return on investment. Furthermore, when faced with the demand for multi-agent concurrency and global access, conventional infrastructure also faces challenges in scalability and low latency assurance, often requiring additional operations and tuning to barely meet performance requirements.

To address the aforementioned challenges, Fleek has created a platform specifically designed for the deployment, management, and monetization of AI agents and virtual influencers, integrating LLM access, hosting deployment, MCP, TEE, agent functionality management, and monetization tools into a seamless experience and marketplace. The Fleek AI hosting solution based on the Eliza framework, combined with Fleek Machines and the proprietary deployment capabilities of the Fleek platform, provides developers with a complete solution that integrates infrastructure and development experience.

One-stop AI Agency Service Platform

In the past, deploying AI agents required professional developers and involved complex security settings as well as ongoing infrastructure management. Transforming the deployment of AI agents into a simple process eliminates the complexity of DevOps. The platform supports three deployment methods, including directly uploading JSON role files, filling out agent configurations through forms, or using preset templates. The entire process can be completed within 30 seconds, without the need for additional infrastructure configuration or scripting.

In terms of security and privacy, Fleek leverages TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) in Fleek Machines to ensure the autonomy, verifiability, security, and privacy of AI agents. Fleek Machines are lightweight TEE VMs with Docker support, providing builders with a seamless way to utilize long-running (TEE) for verifiable and/or confidential computing use cases. By using remote attestation and reproducible builds, anyone can verify the authenticity of the agents and the code running in the TEE, as well as verify the confidentiality of all sensitive data, thereby creating a secure environment for the operation of AI agents and the interaction between users and agents.

In addition, Fleek Machines support running any applications that can run on Docker, seamlessly integrating all Web2 and Web3 frameworks, languages, and protocols. Compared to traditional TEE services, Fleek offers higher performance and lower cost infrastructure, shortening time to market while significantly reducing development and operational expenses. Developers can flexibly choose proxy running nodes based on business needs, and when access traffic surges, the platform automatically scales up within seconds without any manual intervention, achieving a one-stop hosting experience with edge optimization and global distribution.

$FLK Token Economics

$FLK token is the pillar of the Fleek ecosystem, targeting developers, creators, consumers, brands, node operators, and even AI agents and virtual influencers themselves. Its design goal is to achieve a deep binding of ecosystem participants and platform value through token incentives and rights allocation.

The total supply of $FLK is 100 million tokens, with an FDV valuation of 75 million USD. The public sale on CoinList will have a volume of 66,700 tokens, accounting for 6.67%, fully unlocked, with no lock-up or vesting period. Compared to private round investors, this public sale offers a lower price and 100% unlock benefits, reflecting a community-first philosophy to ensure that early builders and users receive the maximum profit potential.

In terms of practical utility, the main uses of the $FLK token include:

• Platform Access and Benefits: Staking to obtain usage credits on the Fleek platform and access to premium features. Additionally, one can become an operator through staking, running Fleek's infrastructure and earning network rewards.
• Market and Creator Incentives: In the Fleek ecosystem, token holders can obtain priority display and revenue sharing bonuses for AI agents and virtual influencers. Fleek also incentivizes the community to create high-quality agents and influencers through $FLK token rewards, accelerating ecosystem prosperity.
• Branding and Marketing: Brands and companies can use $FLK to unlock exclusive marketing tools, including advanced features for expanding social, influencer marketing, and user-generated content (UGC) campaigns.
• Burning Mechanism: A portion of the platform's revenue is used to buy back and burn $FLK through a burning mechanism, creating a deflationary effect.
