Floki has a maximum supply of 10 trillion tokens, with more than half of them currently held in a cross-chain bridge. This bridge was created when the Floki Inu mainnet launched on the BNB Chain.

The FLOKI developer team has highlighted the significant security threats posed by this scenario, emphasizing in the proposal that cross-chain bridge exploits have caused over $2.5 billion in losses over the past two years. 

The second proposal that has been passed aims to reduce the 3% tax on FLOKI transactions to just 0.3%,  aiming to make the Floki ecosystem one of the premier platforms for decentralized finance (DeFi). According to BNB swap, FlokiFi Locker TVL on Sunday crossed over $8.7 million.
