Flop Network is a proof-of-useful-inference protocol designed to provide decentralized compute and memory infrastructure for autonomous AI agents. Agents spend $FLOP to access AI inference and store memories in a censorship-resistant manner, while miners provide computational resources and validators verify completed work and secure the network. The protocol creates an economic layer connecting AI agents with decentralized compute providers, enabling $FLOP to function as the payment mechanism for inference, memory, and other AI resources.
