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.

And if you like the music in the teaser, no need to wonder where it’s coming from because that, too, is xøFLUX. A 6-track electronic album titled “Ghosts In The Machine”, which includes the song soundtracking in the YouTube teaser, is streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. The music is surprisingly very good with high production value. I found myself getting lost in the xøFLUX universe, further building on the character intrigue and mystery.

It seems a group of creative professionals and tech bros got together to build something multi-layered and are using the crypto space to bring awareness to it. Maybe they are using the xøFLUX token to raise funding to give them runway, I’m not entirely sure. What I am sure about though, is that in this day and age, intellectual property is very valuable. A successful series or movie with a well branded action hero can be a goldmine worth millions. I think the important thing here is how they integrate the xøFLUX token into all of this. The community will be strong on this one and will definitely keep the value up. Hopefully as the episodes for the mini-series roll out and more music drops, there will be more and more fans. The website teases more special products and merch as well in anticipation of demand.

In the spirit of entertainment and lore, the xøFLUX project really is something special in a meme coin space that has felt pretty stale this year. If the developers manage to pull off a token launch that successfully brings a new superhero or music project to the masses, they may be on to something special, pushing major movie studios and record labels to use the crypto space as a viable avenue for launching their projects in the future. For me, the mystery and multi-layered approach to this project make things feel fun in a way I haven’t felt in a long time.
