When AI projects only talk about decentralization, why can FLock win real orders from the United Nations?

FLock stands out in the decentralized AI space by securing tangible partnerships and real-world adoption, unlike many competitors who focus solely on narratives. Key achievements include:

Forming a strategic partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to provide federated learning solutions that protect data sovereignty in developing countries, allowing local AI training without data leaving its region.
Becoming the first decentralized platform selected by Alibaba Cloud's Qwen for practical federated learning deployment and technical verification, demonstrating real Web2 application.
Expanding its ecosystem through collaborations with entities like Neo and SpoonOS for AI model tuning initiatives, and growing its developer community via hackathons in markets like Korea.
Leveraging the Bittensor subnet to utilize existing AI infrastructure efficiently, avoiding the need to rebuild from scratch and focusing on core federated computing strengths.
Achieving significant market traction, including listings on major exchanges like Upbit and Coinbase, a strong user base in Korea, and a notable price surge despite a relatively small circulating market cap of around $50 million.

FLock's pragmatic approach—focusing on real-use cases, strategic partnerships, and ecosystem growth—has enabled it to move beyond theoretical discussions and deliver verified value in the AI and blockchain space.

First listed on Upbit, and now on Coinbase's roadmap, congratulations! Honestly, as a humble token in my portfolio, FLOCK has been incredibly impressive over the past six months. Let me share a few:

What’s interesting is that while many AI projects are talking about technical narratives and rolling up computing power for mining, FLOCK has done some things that are “not web3-friendly”, such as negotiating cooperation with the United Nations, collaborating with Alibaba Cloud Qwen, and organizing hackathons at Korean universities. At first glance, these seem to be unprofessional, but in fact, they are not necessarily so.

For example, the collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) might seem like Nubility's golden touch, but upon closer inspection, UNDP's selection of FLock as a strategic AI partner stems from its appreciation for the value of federated learning in protecting data sovereignty in developing countries. These regions need AI capabilities but are wary of handing over their data to tech giants. FLock offers a solution that allows model training without data leaving the country.

Being selected by Alibaba Cloud's Qwen as the first decentralized AI training platform with a practical Web2 use case certainly attracted a lot of attention at a time when the web was clamoring for Web2. The point is that while other projects were still claiming "we can train AI," FLock was already helping Qwen with the practical deployment of federated learning.

The Bittensor subnet is a shrewd move, effectively leveraging existing AI infrastructure to solidify its core competency in federated computing. This pragmatic approach of "not reinventing the wheel" is far more efficient than projects that attempt to develop everything in-house.

In addition, it's collaborating with Neo, SpoonOS, and others to launch AI model tuning initiatives and expand its developer ecosystem. Its Moonbase roadmap is also clearly progressing, with Q4 set to see the entry into Stages 2 and 3. Crucially, while it experienced a period of decline like most tokens, it experienced a 70% surge after listing on two major Korean exchanges, was delisted from Binance Alpha and then inexplicably relisted, and experienced a number of dramatic events. Despite this, despite a five-fold rebound from the beginning of the year, its circulating market capitalization has only reached 50 million yuan.

This is why I always think this small Madrid Portfolio is incredible. The holding experience brought by such a coin is beyond the reach of most altcoins.

Anyway, what FLock has been doing in the past few months is actually "pragmatic", so in the end, when many projects can only talk about the "decentralized AI narrative", FLock has actually gained real use cases from UN customers, technical verification of Alibaba Cloud's Qwen model, user base in the Korean market, etc. Isn't this what everyone wants to see the project party "doing"?

Of course, maybe I’m just glad I chose this treasure from the vast sea of coins, but the value of the choice itself is too high, including the extensibility of the technical narrative, the dynamic observation of the project’s operation and implementation, the reliability and trust of the core team members, etc. I won’t go into too much detail.

In the end, I hope that the altcoins in everyone’s hands can bring a good “holding experience”.
