Rice AI is a decentralized data network for robotics AI built by Rice Robotics. It employs a crypto-powered reward economy, in which users can contribute qualitative data and receive rewards, while startups can acquire this data to train their robots.
$RICE is a native token of the platform, used for governance, paying fees to the network, and providing rewards to data contributors.
On July 31st, 2025, the project announced an $RICE IDO on TokenFi launchpad, aiming to raise $750K at $7.5M FDV.
20% unlock on TGE, 80% linearly vested for 6 months
To participate in the $RICE IDO on TokenFi, you have to acquire one of the $TOKEN staking tiers before the final snapshot at August 5th, 7:00 AM UTC:

We recommend aiming for the Master tier or higher, as the $RICE IDO sale is structured as an FCFS round, where users with higher tiers participate first, followed by those with lower tiers. The sale structure will be as follows:
If the higher tiers will purchase all $RICE tokens, the sale will proceed, and the other tiers won’t receive any allocation at all.
To get one of the tiers, you have to earn TokenFi points for staking $TOKEN. Initially, one point equals one token staked, however, you can multiply that number by up to 16x depending on the duration for staking $TOKEN you choose:
❗️ Note: You receive only half of the total promised tokens right after the staking, the other half is given to you throughout your staking period. Take this into account when hitting one of the tiers.
Once done with staking, acquire $USDT on the BSC network in your wallet. The amount of $USDT needed in your wallet is equal to your allocation tier. Then, wait for the start of the sale for your tier, visit the sale page, enter the amount of $RICE to purchase, and confirm the transaction.
❗️ Important: The $RICE TGE is expected to occur in mid-August 2025. Until then, do not withdraw $TOKEN from the launchpad, as it may mark your account as unqualified and return $USDT to you.
Also, remember that in case of withdrawal of your $TOKEN holdings from launchpad staking before your staking period concludes, the platform will apply a 20% fee for the entire staking size.
Good Luck! 🍀
