The FLOCK presale is making waves in the meme coin sector, having raised an insane $250,000 in its short time being live. Investors are eager to get in early, due to the teams generous staking APY and presale offers for early backers.

The aforementioned APY for staking your FLOCK is a simply ridiculous 10,800%. With staking rewards that juicy on offer, its no wonder Flockerz is taking the internet by storm.

There are less than 24-hours to secure FLOCK at these prices. FLOCK is currently selling for $0.0056109 but once the timer runs out, the next price stage will begin. This means that anyone who buys this early will immediately be in profit as the presale moves through multiple price stages.

Flockerz has already undergone multiple security audits by industry leaders such as Coinsult and SolidProof. Presale projects are notorious for suffering security breaches and scams. For a project that’s just starting out, audits are a critical step in building trust with the community.
