FLOKI and Rice Robotics Launch AI Companion Robot With Token Rewards

DATE POSTED:April 30, 2025

April 30, 2025 – Miami, Florida

FLOKI has partnered with Rice Robotics to launch the FLOKI Minibot M1, an AI-powered companion robot that combines robotics, blockchain and tokenized rewards.

Unveiled ahead of TOKEN2049 Dubai, the FLOKI Minibot M1 is powered by RICE AI, Rice Robotics’ decentralized AI protocol.

This small but capable robot can handle day-to-day tasks like managing grocery lists, scheduling household chores and even providing bedtime stories or dancing to your favorite music – all while adapting to your personality and preferences over time.

But the innovation doesn’t stop at the hardware.

As part of the rollout, Rice Robotics will also launch the RICE token, the main utility token of the RICE AI protocol. The token integrates real-world usage with on-chain incentives.

Users of the FLOKI Minibot M1 will earn RICE tokens through interaction – turning ordinary conversations and commands into valuable AI training data, and rewarding users for participation in the ecosystem.

According to Rice, the RICE token will be launched through the TokenFi Launchpad, allowing TOKEN stakers to participate in the early sale.

Additionally, airdrops are coming for both FLOKI and TOKEN holders, adding to the growing utility behind the FLOKI ecosystem.

The RICE token will serve various functions within the RICE AI ecosystem, including access to premium features, AI upgrades and data exchange within decentralized physical AI networks.

Rice Robotics – known for its work with top-tier clients like Nvidia, SoftBank, Mitsui Fudosan and 7-Eleven Japan – is no stranger to real-world deployment.

Their robots are already in use in offices, shopping centers and urban infrastructure across Japan, Dubai and Hong Kong.

Softbank, notably, is also a key player behind President Trump’s $500 billion Stargate Initiative, aimed at building AI infrastructure across the US.

Rice’s involvement further signals the blend between policy, AI and tokenized economies.

This collaboration marks the next big chapter in DePAI (decentralized physical AI), a concept where robots can learn, share data and self-upgrade using blockchain-backed protocols.

FLOKI goes big at TOKEN2049

FLOKI is making its mark as an official gold sponsor of TOKEN2049 Dubai, one of the world’s premier crypto events scheduled for April 30 – May 1, 2025.

With over 15,000 attendees and 10,000 companies expected, TOKEN2049 brings together industry leaders, innovators and investors to explore the future of Web 3.0, AI and digital finance.

FLOKI’s strong presence at the event reflects its expanding ecosystem and bold push into utility-driven innovation.

As part of its sponsorship, FLOKI branding will feature across venue signage, tables and marketing campaigns.

The project’s community relations officer will also deliver a keynote on the IO NET stage titled, ‘How utility will shape the memecoin revolution.’

The event will culminate in ‘AFTER 2049,’ the official closing party, also sponsored by FLOKI.
