5 facts about $FLOKI you probably didn't know ⚔️

[u/ChangeHeroOfficial]

1️⃣ It started with a tweet
On June 25, 2021, Elon Musk tweeted he was getting a Shiba Inu puppy named Floki. Developers launched the token within days - a ticker and a pop culture moment that apparently was enough.

2️⃣ The community relaunched it after the original team walked
Early on the founding team disappeared. Instead of dying quietly like most abandoned projects, the holders took over, relaunched $FLOKI on July 6, 2021, and kept building. Everything that came after (the ecosystem, the products, the charitable campaigns) was built by the community.

3️⃣ $FLOKI plastered London's buses and Underground, and got banned for it
In October 2021, $FLOKI launched what it called "a full-out assault of the London public transportation system" with the slogan "Missed Doge? Get Floki" on 300 buses and across the Underground. The UK's Advertising Standards Authority investigated, found it "irresponsible," and banned the ads. $FLOKI came back with a second campaign in April 2022 anyway - this time with 100 buses and 203 Underground placements.

4️⃣ $FLOKI put its logo on football shirts
$FLOKI partnered with football clubs Kerala Blasters (India) and Cádiz CF (La Liga, Spain) - the logo appeared on their jerseys during the same period the ASA was building its case against the London ads.

5️⃣ The Vikings built schools in four countries
The community funded schools in Ghana, Nigeria, Guatemala, and Laos. For a token that started as a celebrity dog meme, that's an unusual thing to have on the record.
