08 Jul AMA with TokenFi – Hosted by Bitfinex & BitfreedomGus

Bitfinex and TokenFi recently hosted an insightful AMA session with Laymanscrypto, Social Media Coordinator at TokenFi. In this conversation, we explored the mission behind TokenFi, its role in simplifying the tokenisation process, and how the project is pioneering innovations across RWA, staking, and no-code token creation. Laymanscrypto shared key updates on the ecosystem, upcoming AI tools, and the broader vision of democratising blockchain for both individuals and institutions.

Introduction

Bitfinex:
Hello everyone and welcome to another exclusive Bitfinex AMA! I’m BitfreedomGus and today I have the pleasure of welcoming Laymanscrypto, Social Media Coordinator at TokenFi.

TokenFi is revolutionising the tokenisation sector with its all-in-one platform that allows anyone to create tokens and tokenise real-world assets without any programming knowledge. We’re very excited to explore how this project is leading the $16 trillion revolution in asset tokenisation.

Laymanscrypto, thank you very much for being here with us today!

Laymanscrypto:
Hi everyone!
Glad to be here and answer all of your questions. Let’s get started!

Personal Journey & Project Origins

Bitfinex:
To start on a more personal note, could you tell us a bit about your professional background and how you got involved with the TokenFi project?

Laymanscrypto:
Sure! I come from a Web2 engineering background, and over the last 5–6 years I developed a strong interest in crypto and Web3 technologies.

I joined the Floki ecosystem because I believed in its unique combination of utility, branding, and community-first principles. As the ecosystem evolved, the Floki team launched TokenFi to tap into the massive opportunity in tokenisation.

I started working as a Social Media Coordinator to help communicate TokenFi’s vision to a broader audience. Happy to be here and answer questions from the Bitfinex community!

Bitfinex:
TokenFi and Floki share the same team. Could you tell us about the connection between these two projects and how the experience with Floki contributed to the creation of TokenFi?

Laymanscrypto:
Floki and TokenFi are sister projects. They share infrastructure and community, but each has its own specific focus.

Floki proved that a memecoin could evolve into a full ecosystem with real products, global brand recognition, and long-term resilience. That experience gave the team a blueprint for building TokenFi.

With Floki, the team learnt how to scale across multiple verticals — from gaming and DeFi to education and marketing.

TokenFi builds on that foundation, but with a clear mission: to democratise token creation and lead the RWA tokenisation industry. The lessons from Floki’s growth directly influenced how TokenFi was structured, built, and positioned in the market.

Real-World Applications & Roadmap

Bitfinex:
TokenFi positions itself at the forefront of the $16 trillion tokenisation industry. What real-world use cases have already been deployed through the platform, and what’s next on the roadmap?

Laymanscrypto:
The biggest milestone so far is the launch of TokenFi RWA on 23 May this year. This platform allows anyone to tokenise real-world assets with full regulatory compliance. It’s built on the ERC-3643 standard and powered by our partnership with Tokeny, a leading infrastructure provider backed by TradFi giants like BNP Paribas and Apex…

TokenFi RWA makes it possible to unlock liquidity, fractionalise ownership, and give global access to traditionally illiquid assets.

Looking ahead, the roadmap includes the launch of AI-powered tools like a smart contract auditor and a generative NFT creator, all aimed at making tokenisation even more accessible and scalable.

Project Vetting & Community Value

Bitfinex:
The TokenFi Launchpad has onboarded impressive projects like Simon’s Cat and YakDAO. How does TokenFi vet projects and ensure long-term value for $TOKEN holders?

Laymanscrypto:
That’s an important question that gets asked a lot… The TokenFi Launchpad is a decentralised platform, meaning anyone can launch a project through it without needing prior approval. This open model is by design, allowing TokenFi to lower barriers and support decentralisation by giving every founder a chance to raise capital…

However, when it comes to high-profile or Floki-backed launches (e.g. the official Simon’s Cat IP), these go through an internal vetting process by the Floki core team. We assess fundamentals, branding potential, tokenomics, and long-term vision. These curated launches often receive additional ecosystem support, which may include marketing and exchange listings.

The next high-end project on the list to launch on TokenFi Launchpad is Rice Robotics.

For $TOKEN holders, these curated launches create significant value. They usually generate strong demand, come with airdrops or allocations for stakers, and contribute to protocol revenue.

In short, while the platform is open to everyone, the most strategic opportunities are carefully selected and designed to benefit the TokenFi community.

Hope that clears things up!

TokenFi Connect

Bitfinex:
TokenFi Connect promises to link token creators with exchanges, market makers, and VCs. Can you give us a sneak peek into what that experience will look like for a new project owner?

Laymanscrypto:
TokenFi Connect is designed to give new token creators access to the resources they need to succeed.

When a project launches, TokenFi Connect acts like a private network, matching them with potential partners including centralised exchanges, liquidity providers, influencers, and funding sources.

It’s an end-to-end support system that helps remove the cold-start problem… Instead of launching into a void, projects are immediately plugged into a supportive ecosystem. For first-time founders and brands entering Web3, this kind of infrastructure can make the difference between failure and success.

Supercharger & Staking Loyalty

Bitfinex:
With the TokenFi Supercharger programme offering presale access, staking rewards, and airdrops, how do you see this model evolving to drive sustained staking and platform loyalty?

Laymanscrypto:
The Supercharger programme creates a strong incentive loop for $TOKEN holders. By staking their tokens, users get access to exclusive presales, higher reward tiers, and airdrops from high-profile launches.

As more quality projects use the TokenFi Launchpad and RWA platform, the benefits of staking become more attractive. TokenFi is also exploring new Supercharger features, like tiered access based on how long you stake or how much you’ve contributed to the ecosystem. This builds loyalty and helps create a long-term holder base, which is key for any ecosystem’s sustainability.

Vision & Ecosystem Fit

Bitfinex:
TokenFi has launched multiple products in a short time: Launcher, Launchpad, QuickLaunch Bot, and now plans for AI tools and RWA tokenisation. What’s the long-term vision for TokenFi — and how do all these pieces fit together?

Laymanscrypto:
The long-term vision is to be the default platform for tokenisation. Each product addresses a different step in the token lifecycle.

• The Launcher and QuickLaunch Bot let you create tokens instantly.
• The Launchpad gives you funding and exposure.
• TokenFi Connect helps you scale.
• And the TokenFi RWA module lets you tokenise real assets legally and securely.

So, basically, TokenFi is building a full-stack solution that covers creation, distribution, compliance, and growth. Everything is designed to work together.

Token Utility & Tokenomics

Bitfinex:
Speaking about tokenomics, how is the $TOKEN used within the TokenFi ecosystem?

Laymanscrypto:
$TOKEN is the core utility token of the entire ecosystem. It’s used to pay for services, access presales, and earn staking rewards.

Most importantly, every time someone uses a TokenFi product, a portion of the fees is used to buy and burn $TOKEN from the open market. This deflationary mechanism creates consistent buy pressure as the platform grows. Over time, as more products launch and more users onboard, the demand for $TOKEN increases while the supply decreases. That’s a strong setup for long-term value.

Let me give you a quick overview of the tokenomics for $TOKEN:

Total supply = 10,000,000,000 $TOKEN
Initial circulating supply = 1,000,000,000 $TOKEN

Initial $TOKEN distribution:

• 54% of the supply is allocated to Floki staking pools – to be earned over four years
• 2% allocated to Floki NFT holders and Diamond Hands holders
• 10% allocated to the initial liquidity pool on the ETH and BNB chains
• 20% allocated to the Floki treasury for development and operations
• 2% allocated as team incentives and vested for four years
• 5% allocated to the TokenFi User Incentives System to boost TokenFi adoption – to be earned over four years
• 7% allocated to the TokenFi staking programme – to be earned over four years

Real-World Assets & Compliance

Bitfinex:
The tokenisation of real-world assets (RWA) is an important differentiator for TokenFi. How do you ensure regulatory compliance in this process and what types of assets can already be tokenised on the platform?

Laymanscrypto:
Regulatory compliance is one of the most important aspects of RWA tokenisation. That’s why TokenFi partnered with Tokeny to launch the RWA platform using the ERC-3643 standard. This standard includes on-chain identity management, investor whitelisting, and rule-based transfers.

The system ensures that only eligible, KYC-verified investors can access certain assets, depending on their jurisdiction and accreditation status. It brings the kind of compliance you’d expect in traditional finance into the Web3 world.

Bitfinex Listing & Strategic Partnership

Bitfinex:
Being listed on Bitfinex represents an important milestone for any project. How does this strategic partnership contribute to TokenFi’s objectives and what opportunities does it bring to the community?

Laymanscrypto:
Agreed, that’s an interesting one because Bitfinex is one of the most reputable exchanges in the crypto space, and being listed there adds significant credibility to TokenFi. It increases access to a broader, more institutional investor base, and provides deeper liquidity for $TOKEN.

So for the community… this means better price discovery, easier onboarding, and more visibility. For the ecosystem, it’s a signal that TokenFi is building something that’s not just relevant for retail users, but also for serious investors and institutions that are looking at the future of asset tokenisation.

Audience Questions

Bitfinex:
TokenFi aims to simplify token creation and tokenisation for individuals and businesses. How does your platform ensure compliance and security, especially as tokenisation begins to attract more regulatory scrutiny worldwide? (from OracleKayFe)

Laymanscrypto:
Compliance and security are at the heart of TokenFi’s architecture, even more so now that TokenFi RWA is live.

As mentioned earlier, for real-world asset tokenisation, we’ve partnered with Tokeny, one of the most respected tokenisation infrastructure providers in the industry. TokenFi RWA was built on the ERC-3643 standard, which was specifically designed for compliant, regulated token issuance. This includes on-chain identity verification, rule-based transferability, investor whitelisting, and more…

To add to that, all TokenFi’s smart contracts are rigorously tested and audited before deployment.

Bitfinex:
What benefits do holders get from keeping their tokens for a long time? (from Ulk)

Laymanscrypto:
Long-term holders of $TOKEN are rewarded in multiple ways, both directly and through the mechanics of the TokenFi ecosystem.

1. $TOKEN staking is a core component of the platform. Stakers gain access to exclusive presales, higher Supercharger rewards, and eligibility for high-profile airdrops (e.g. the Rice Robotics presale mentioned earlier). The longer someone stakes, the more benefits they unlock.
2. $TOKEN is deflationary by design. Every time someone uses a TokenFi product, a portion is used to buy and burn $TOKEN. This reduces supply over time, which benefits holders.
3. As more products launch and more people join the ecosystem, benefits for early holders and stakers increase.

Basically, holding $TOKEN is like owning a piece of the infrastructure that’s powering the next generation of tokenisation.
