Floki Minibot M1 Presale Launches Alongside TokenFi’s Real-World Asset Tokenization Module
On May 23, the presale for the Floki Minibot M1 AI robot—developed by Rice Robotics—will commence, coinciding with the launch of TokenFi’s real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform.
TokenFi, a sister initiative to Floki focused on tokenizing real-world assets, is set to tokenize the Floki Minibot M1, an AI-powered robot created by Rice Robotics. This marks what the team claims is the first-ever tokenization of a consumer AI robot.
The presale will initially be available to a select whitelist, curated by Rice AI and key participants within the Floki ecosystem, on the very day TokenFi’s RWA tokenization module goes live.
This presale is part of a broader rollout that includes the upcoming launch of Rice AI’s RICE token and planned airdrops for holders of Floki (FLOKI) and TokenFi (TOKEN), with more details expected after the sale concludes, the team told CoinDesk.
The Floki Minibot represents a branded version of Rice Robotics’ compact delivery and companion robot. Powered by the RICE AI system, the robot operates autonomously and is backed by partnerships with industry heavyweights such as Nvidia, Softbank, Mitsui Fudosan, and 7-Eleven Japan.
TokenFi emphasized the historic nature of this development: “This is the first time in history that an AI robot will be tokenized. It’s a phenomenal milestone for TokenFi, the RWA industry, and the AI robotics sector.”
As a growing RWA infrastructure provider, TokenFi enables companies to tokenize a wide range of physical and digital assets—including equity and now robotics—leveraging blockchain technology.
Earlier this year, Floki’s development team highlighted Rice Robotics as a strong contender poised for significant growth in the AI robotics market, which industry forecasts estimate to surpass $100 billion by 2030.
In market activity, TokenFi’s TOKEN token surged 19% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data, amid gains across major cryptocurrencies. The CoinDesk 20 Index, a benchmark for the broader crypto market, increased by 3%.
