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

On May 2nd, Beijing time, 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 allowing developers, creators, and brands to quickly build, deploy, and monetize their AI agents and Virtual Influencers without the need for complex infrastructure. So far, Fleek has received support from projects such as Eliza (formerly ai16z) and Venice AI, making it a rising 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 wealth of infrastructure components, they lack an integrated solution 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 launch.

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 fundamentally difficult to prevent data leaks or suffer from malicious attacks, thereby posing risks to scenarios with extremely high privacy compliance requirements such as finance and healthcare.

In addition, for developers and enterprises, the continuous reasoning and state management of AI agents consume a large amount of computing power. The on-demand cloud resources see costs soar during peak access times, while during idle periods, resources remain unused, leading to a low overall return on investment. In response to the demand for multi-agent concurrency and global access, conventional infrastructure also faces challenges in scalability and low-latency guarantees, often requiring additional maintenance and tuning just to barely meet performance requirements.

To address the aforementioned challenges, Fleek has built a platform specifically designed for the deployment, management, and monetization of AI agents and virtual influencers, unifying LLM integration, hosted deployment, MCP, TEE, agent function management, and monetization tools into a seamless experience and marketplace. Based on the Eliza framework, the Fleek AI hosting solution, combined with Fleek Machines and the platform's own deployment capabilities, 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 to complete, involving complex security setups and ongoing infrastructure management. Transforming the deployment of AI agents into a simple process eliminates the complexities of DevOps. The platform supports three deployment methods, including directly uploading JSON role files, filling out agent configurations via 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 is a lightweight TEE VM with Docker support that provides a seamless way for builders to leverage long-running (TEE) for verifiable and/or confidential computing use cases. By using remote proofs and reproducible builds, anyone can verify the authenticity of the agent and the code running in the TEE, as well as verify the privacy of all sensitive data, creating a secure environment for the operation of the AI agent and the interaction of users with the agent.

In addition, Fleek Machines support running any applications that can run in 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 completes scaling within seconds without any manual intervention, achieving a one-stop hosting experience for edge optimization and global distribution.

$FLK Token economics

The $FLK token is the backbone of the Fleek ecosystem for developers, creators, consumers, brands, node operators, and even AI agencies and virtual influencers themselves. Its design goal is to realize the deep binding between ecological participants and the value of the platform through token incentives and rights distribution.

The total supply of $FLK is 100 million tokens, with an FDV valuation of $75 million. The public sale on CoinList is 667,000 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 to reflect a community-first philosophy, ensuring that early builders and users have the maximum profit potential.

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

• Platform Access and Benefits: Staking to obtain credits for using the Fleek platform and access to premium features. Additionally, by staking, you can become an operator, run the Fleek infrastructure, and earn network rewards.
• Market and Creator Incentives: In the Fleek ecosystem, token holders can enjoy 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 reach, influencer marketing, and user-generated content (UGC) campaigns.
• Burn mechanism: A portion of the platform's revenue is used to repurchase and burn $FLK through the burn mechanism, creating a deflationary effect.
