Floki Inu (FLOKI) is a meme-based cryptocurrency inspired by Elon Musk's Shiba Inu dog, named Floki. Launched in June 2021, it quickly gained attention due to its association with Musk, who has a significant influence on the crypto market. FLOKI positions itself as more than just a meme coin by aiming to build a utility-driven ecosystem, including a play-to-earn game, NFT marketplace, and educational platform called Floki University.
