On April 26, 2023, DIFX & FLOKI conducted a joint AMA Session on both their Telegram Communities in celebration of the People's currency $FLOKI being listed on the global multi-asset trading platform Digital Financial Exchange(DIFX). The AMA was hosted first on the official FLOKI Telegram by, B (The Viking) @BDaViki, a Floki Core Team Member, and Aigerim Omarbekova, VP of Marketing at DIFX, followed by a live Q&A session on the DIFX Telegram.
So continue reading to follow along the AMA Recap in case you missed it!
B (The Viking)
Hey, legends!
As you might have heard earlier today, Floki just got listed on DIFX which is one of the biggest exchanges in the MENA region. We continue to make strong moves in the region, and this listing makes it A LOT easier for people in the region to access the FLOKI token.
DIFX is a big listing not just because it is a major exchange in the MENA region, but also because it is the first first exchange to list Floki that is fully insured.
We're having an AMA with DIFX now which comes in two parts: the first part will happen in our TG here (now!) and right after we will head over to their TG to conclude the AMA.
I'd like to welcome Aigerim Omarbekova who will be representing DIFX in this AMA!
Could you briefly introduce yourself to the Viking community, Aigerim?
Aigerim
Hi, B! Thanks for having me, I'm happy to be part of the Floki Army! 🚀 My name is Aigerim Omarbekova an honorary Viking for today and the VP of Marketing at DIFX in my daily life.
I personally adore Shiba Inu dogs and own one myself and it's a privilege to collaborate with the Floki team 🔥
Looking forward to answering all the questions, sharing about Floki's listing on DIFX and excited for the live part where we will give rewards to 5 picked questions!
B (The Viking)
Vikings love dogs, too. I mean, they are just too adorable. Also, if not for dogs Floki wouldn't be here! 😂
Can you give our community a brief introduction of Digital Financial Exchange (DIFX)?
Aigerim
Yes! First of all as you mentioned DIFX stands for Digital Financial Exchange 💪
We are a global multi-asset trading platform bridging the gap between traditional and digital finance.
We officially started operations in September 2021 and have been quietly building ourselves up in the space as a unique trading platform that gives users the option to trade different asset classes as pairs on our MT5 platform for example BTCxGBP or ETHxJPY, etc.
We have users from all over the world, predominantly in Middle East, Africa, and South East Asia 🌍🌏
B (The Viking)
That is great to hear!
We have made a lot of impressive marketing moves in the Middle East and South East Asia over the years; we locked down the Dubai International Airport with Floki ads in 2021, partnered with the Indian Maharajas for an event in Doha, Qatar this year, and just recently formed a partnership with Badminton Asia for an ongoing event in Dubai right now that will be streamed to hundreds of millions of households all over the world including key regions in South East Asia. So I'm confident that this listing will be very beneficial to users in these regions who want to trade FLOKI! 🔥
We are excited to have $FLOKI on DIFX. Can you please share when users will be able to trade Floki on your platform?
Aigerim
WOW, that's really impressive! GO TEAM FLOKI 🚀🚀🚀
DIFX is also glad to be part of the amazing Viking Army! Users will be able to start trading FLOKI as a USDT pair on 26th April 2023 from 12:00 PM UTC onwards. So we have 25 min left before trading starts!
Please make sure to create an account on DIFX to be one of the first FLOKI traders: https://difx.com/en/register 💙
B (The Viking)
That's great to hear!
FLOKI recently got listed on Binance US as well, and we've gotten listed on quite a number of major exchanges recently. What are your thoughts on centralized exchanges? Why should users trade on DIFX?
Aigerim
First of all congratulations on the Binance listing! It’s awesome to see FLOKI’s growth so far and with all the innovations you guys have successfully done.
I might be biased here 😉 but I think a CEX has a lot of value in the current crypto climate. With adoption and usage increasing, it is important users choose financial entities that are safe, transparent, and forward-thinking, which are all things that encapsulate the DIFX mission and vision. 🏆
I think what makes us different from a lot of the CEXs in the market is no1 the multi-asset trading feature I mentioned earlier and our strict commitment to user security. We actually use Fireblocks who are one of the leading digital asset custodians in the market as our 3rd party custodians to ensure user finds are secure at all times and free from any potential security risks, theft or malpractice.
We have also partnered with Hacken, whom we have a close relationship with to run various bug bounties and regular security audits.
Another feature that I think truly makes us stand out amongst the other CEX’s is our DIFX Nomination program. With this program, our users are able to nominate their family and friends to inherit their platform funds safely in case of their death and ensure their financial legacy is passed down as per the user’s nominations. 👨👩👧
Also, obviously, users outside the US can trade on DIFX, as users in the US on Binance US, so we got Floki covered globally! 🌏
B (The Viking)
Thanks for the kind words about the Binance US listing. Dare I say we're only just getting started, and we've got even more exciting moves planned to make it easier for people to get the Floki token as our goal is to be the most known and most used cryptocurrency in the world! That's all I can say for now! 🔥
It's great to hear about your commitment to user security; after the FTX crisis I'm sure a lot of users pay a lot more attention to this when dealing with CEXs.
We heard DIFX has an incubator program. Can you briefly explain what it's about?
Aigerim
Yes, you heard that right! As an ecosystem ourselves, we have numerous different operations we conduct from building white-label tech solutions to helping new tokens launch through the DIFX launchpad and our very own incubator program called DIFX Labs.
DIFX Labs is a special incubator program for up & coming blockchain, crypto and NFT projects at any stage of their life cycle. Our recent startup is Race Kingdom, a web3 racing game with camels https://racekingdom.io 🐪
We want to help nurture and grow various web3 projects that will help our users and the overall industry as well. With our labs program, we are able to give back to the community by supporting good ideas with our tech and capital resources.
B(The Viking)
That's great to hear!
Lastly, can you share with us your online communities and channels where our members can learn more about you?
Aigerim
Yes of course, currently we have our main English global community and 2 local communities for Indonesia and the CIS regions. We predominantly use our Twitter and Telegram to regularly engage with our community 🙂
Here are a few of our important links so that you can keep up to date with us!

Live Q&A Session with the DIFX Community
Aigerim
Hi XChangers, we are getting FLOKI listed today on DIFX! To honor the occasion, please welcome @BDaViking, a core member of the FLOKI team!
Go ahead and ask your FLOKISH questions, B will pick 5 and answer them! Each winner gets $20!
B (The Viking)
It is a pleasure to be here, Aigerim. Thanks for hosting me and also for listing FLOKI on the DIFX exchange! 🔥
Question 1 "Do you have an overview of what FLOKI will look like after 2023? , with 1-2 of the most important milestones that the FLOKI team is aiming for before the end of the year will help you a lot." - by @ngphonghao
2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Floki! 🔥
While we have a lot of important things planned for this year, two of the most exciting milestones will be the launch of the Floki staking program and the mainnet release of our Valhalla metaverse game.
You can see our 2023 roadmap here for a good idea of what we've got planned for FLOKI in 2023:
https://realflokiinu.medium.com/floki-2023-roadmap-8532b29ad63b
Question 2: "According to the roadmap, what is your most important next priority?" - by @BabyMiguri
Staking is the next most important priority for Floki according to our roadmap. In fact, it is A LOT closer than many realize!
In fact, we recently launched our staking program on testnet and the tests have gone smoothly so far. We're making a few more tweaks and we would go live on the mainnet!
We recently released a sneak peek of the FLOKI staking program on our official Twitter page:
https://twitter.com/RealFlokiInu/status/1650574856138940417
I would also add that the Floki staking program is designed to make the FLOKI token even more deflationary:
1. People will likely earn another token (not FLOKI) when they stake their FLOKI tokens, so users would not have to worry about inflation.
2. The staking program is being built to incorporate a burn mechanism.
It's going to be exciting for sure!
Question 3: "How is FlokiFi Doing and can you give us a hint about the next step in DeFi for Floki?" by @docflokiwood
The next few weeks are going to be exciting for FlokiFi! 🔥
Firstly, we're in the final phases of the first major upgrade for FlokiFi Locker and that is due to go live any time soon.
Secondly, we're also well into the development of the second major FlokiFi project codenamed "Project TL" and if everything goes according to schedule there is a high likelihood of this project going live this quarter.
We have more exciting stuff planned under the FlokiFi umbrella that I cannot mention right now, but the future is exciting for sure!
Question 4: "Can you tell us about the University of Floki, in order to access this university you have to have a certain level of knowledge in Cryptography? Or we can learn from scratch? How can we be part of Floki University?" by @Arshad178
University of Floki is Floki's crypto education platform and I can say things are going very smoothly on the development end so far.
University of Floki will be a multipurpose crypto education platform that caters both to beginners and advanced crypto users, so pretty much anyone interested in crypto will be able to use the platform.
As to how to be a part of the University of Floki, we will be announcing in due time so make sure you are following Floki on all the relevant channels.
Question 5: "Can you share to us your tokenomics? How much is the total and circulation supply of your tokens? Will there be a buy-back system or token burning in the future?" - by @rashik_alam_462
Floki currently has a circulating supply of 9.7 trillion tokens and a buy/sell transaction tax of 0.3%. While there is no burn tax on FLOKI transactions, we have utility products that buy/burn Floki such as our FlokiFi Locker crypto locker protocol. We also intend to launch more products that will burn FLOKI tokens with each successful transaction.
