Currently, the pseudonymous Floki team continues to build its metaverse game, called Valhalla; this is their major product. It also runs a marketplace Floki Places, where NFTs and Floki merchandise is sold, as well as FlokiFi – a DeFi products platform.
This week, FLOKI, along with DOGE, SHIB, PEPE and several smaller meme coins were added to the MarketVector’s Meme Coin Index (trading as MEMECOINS) launched by VanEck on Wednesday.
Out of six popular meme coins this new index tracks, Floki sits in fifth place.
