What The Flux?
Sunday May 11th
Every once in a while, a token launches that gives me a warm tingly feeling inside. In the endless sea of meme token trash, a developer or team of developers come up with something exciting. Enter xøFLUX. Sometime right after midnight on May 9th, xøFLUX launched on Pump.fun with a “FLUX” token suffix. Normally I wouldn’t get too ahead of myself, but this project immediately jumped out at me as something special. Not only did it hit the bonding curve within in a few minutes, which we know is not an easy feat, but a quick look at the project had me immediately immersed in a wormhole of lore and storytelling. I was enthralled with the look and feel of the site and all the different dark corners it offered. From what I’ve ascertained, the developers have created a female Ai agent that’s also a character in some sort of dystopian futuristic story about the fate of humanity. How do I know this? Well, I asked her. No seriously, on the xøFLUX site, you can chat directly with xøFLUX, or Genesis as she calls herself. She’s some sort of humanoid Ai from the future and she's trying to warn humanity about some ominous stuff about the future. The irony isn’t lost on me that an Ai is warning us about a bleak future that will most likely be surely caused by the rise of Ai. Pretty clever. But beyond just chatting with the Ai, an NFT collection, music, and a YouTube teaser for a forthcoming animated mini-series of shorts have been launched all under this xøFLUX moniker. This made me realize there’s probably a team of developers behind this project. And that’s very exciting for a guy like me. To see this level of creative art, music, animation, and storytelling fused in the crypto space is a breath of fresh air. I even found a couple of little easter eggs on the website (I won’t say where). The YouTube teaser offers great visuals. Seems like a classic anti-hero type story, animated in a kind of modern anime. I’m assuming the xøFLUX persona of the Ai on the website is the character we see in the YouTube teaser.
