The Ethereum Merge is here and the [BrainDAO treasury](https://etherscan.io/address/0x56398b89d53e8731bca8c1b06886cfb14bd6b654) now has over $2 million in wrapped ethereum and over $5 million in total assets. The IQ token is backed by the BrainDAO treasury and the treasury is fully governed by IQ token stakers. BrainDAO holds a diversified portfolio of IQ tokens, ethereum, stablecoins, blue chip NFTs, and other assets.

Back in May, BrainDAO decided to acquire a [Bored Ape](https://opensea.io/collection/boredapeyachtclub) as its first NFT acquisition since the Bored Ape Yacht Club is [Yuga Labs](https://twitter.com/yugalabs) premier NFT collection and is poised to grow in value with apes forming a core part of Yuga’s Otherside metaverse. [The Otherside](https://twitter.com/OthersideMeta) metaverse is aligned with BrainDAO’s vision of bridging the real world and the metaverse.

BrainDAO acquired [BAYC #9665](https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d/9665) precisely because of its Pink fur trait which represents the brain, the center of all knowledge. The growth of BrainDAO comes at the perfect time as the launch of a new fully Web3 site for the Everipedia Encyclopedia nears. The new site will run on Ethereum L2 and have several cutting-edge integrations. The waitlist for our public beta is just around the corner. Stay tuned!


The IQ Token’s BrainDAO Treasury now has over $2 Million in Ethereum!

The IQ token now has an incentivized [IQ-frxETH pair](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools/factory-crypto-309/deposit) on Curve, one of the largest decentralized exchanges! Curve users who supply liquidity to the pool earn CRV rewards. Those who stake their LP tokens with Convex can also earn CVX tokens.

Frax Ether is a liquid staking solution with some of the highest yields in the space due to its unique dual token design with [frxETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frxeth-frax-ether) and [sfrxETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-ether-frxeth-and-sfrxeth).

Users can now [deposit frxETH & IQ on Curve Finance](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools/factory-crypto-309/deposit) and [stake LP tokens on Convex](https://www.convexfinance.com/stake/ethereum/266). There is currently around $250,000 of liquidity in the pool. FrxETH-IQ is a v2 pool which means it contains non-pegged assets. The incentives from the Curve gauges are now live, $CRV holders can vote for emissions for the IQ/frxETH pool.

This new pair is part of BrainDAO’s strategy to increase liquidity for the IQ token on decentralized exchanges. $IQ has over $7,000,000 in liquidity on Fraxswap. The IQ token also has a USDT pair on Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, and a KRW pair on Upbit, South Korea’s largest crypto exchange.

What is frxETH?

FrxETH is a stablecoin pegged to ETH. 1 frxETH always represents 1 ETH, and their quantities in circulation match. When ETH is sent to the frxETHMinter, an equivalent amount of frxETH is minted. Holding frxETH doesn't yield staking rewards and is similar to holding ETH. The frxETH peg defends a 1% range around a 1.00 exchange rate, keeping it between 1.01-.9900 ETH per 1 frxETH.

SfrxETH is a token that is an ERC-4626 compliant vault. It is designed to accrue the staking yield of the Frax ETH validators. The profit generated from Frax Ether validators is distributed to sfrxETH holders.

The BrainDAO [treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) currently holds around $7,000,000 in sfrxETH staked earning yield.

We are excited to announce that [Bond Protocol](https://app.bondprotocol.finance/), the leading DeFi protocol for bond services, has automatically embedded [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) content on its live bond market. This allows Bond Protocol users to quickly learn about tokens from IQ.wiki’s crowdsourced knowledge before purchasing bonds. Bond Protocol uses its Token Address API to automatically embed the relevant cryptocurrency wikis on bond pages. This integration is a great example of the value of IQ.wiki’s database of content for DeFi users like the Bond Protocol community and sets the stage for future integrations.

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/bH0ceRqzPcGQ-RDGjULnF.png?height=709&width=1600)

[Bond Protocol](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bond-protocol), as a permissionless system, enables the creation of Olympus-style bond markets for various token pairs. Since its launch in 2022, following the success of Olympus DAO's bond service, Bond Protocol has been dedicated to becoming a neutral and permissionless platform focused solely on providing Bonds-as-a-Service to meet the needs of the DeFi community.

In January 2023, [IQ Bonds](https://app.bondprotocol.finance/#/tokens/1/0x579cea1889991f68acc35ff5c3dd0621ff29b0c9) went live on the Bond Protocol. Our decision to migrate from Olympus Pro to Bond Protocol was driven by the latter's permissionless, composable, and modular nature. To acquire IQ Bonds, IQ holders can supply WETH and bond it with the dapp. In return for offering IQ at a discounted price, the bonds distribute IQ to bondholders over a 5-day vesting period. Furthermore, the bonds enable the IQ protocol to acquire WETH for the BrainDAO treasury.

IQ.wiki content is now embedded in several multimillion-dollar bond markets on Bond Protocol. IQ.wiki is the leader in crypto knowledge, expect to see more integrations. Stay tuned as the BrainDAO team is currently working on something very special involving AI technology, development is ongoing on Github!

IQ Monthly News - May 2023

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/vdbu0fF87LYaAtxGHvWgs.png?height=422&width=750)

[Lens Protocol’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lens-protocol) community of over 100,000 users can now easily share IQ.wiki pages onto [Lenster](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lenster), the leading Web3 social platform on Lens. The IQ ecosystem is now more accessible than ever.

Anyone reading IQ.wiki can simply click the share button on an IQ.wiki article and directly share the page on Lenster.

Lenster is a composable, decentralized, and permissionless social media web dApp built with Lens Protocol. Lenster was the first Web3 social experience to be built on Lens and functions similarly to Twitter both in layout and execution, with added support for a variety of NFT types.

The Lens Protocol is a Web3 social graph on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake blockchain founded by [Stani Kulechov](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stani-kulechov) of [Aave](https://iq.wiki/wiki/aave). It is designed to empower creators to own the links between themselves and their community, forming a fully composable, user-owned social graph. The protocol is built from the ground up with modularity in mind, allowing new features and fixes to be added while ensuring immutable user-owned content and social relationships.

Lens Protocol seeks to solve major issues in existing social media networks. Namely, Web2 networks all read from their unique, centralized database. The user’s profile, friends, and content are locked to a specific network and owned by the network operator. This causes each network to fight a zero-sum game for the user’s attention.  
  
 Lens Protocol corrects this by being a user-owned, open social graph that any application can plug into. Since users own their data, they can bring it to any application built on top of Lens Protocol. As the true owners of their content, creators no longer need to worry about losing their content, audience, and livelihood based on the whims of an individual platform's algorithms and policies. Additionally, each application using Lens Protocol benefits the whole ecosystem, turning the zero-sum game into a collaborative one. Developers can design meaningful social experiences without needing to turn to feedback mechanisms to lock in a user's attention.

IQ.wiki integrates Lens Protocol’s Lenster

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/8fCuTGq7hRRGyWXADycmD.png?height=422&width=750)

The IQ ecosystem has upgraded from OpenAI's GPT-3 model to the latest GPT-4 model, enhancing IQ.wiki, the world's largest blockchain encyclopedia. Just last month, IQ.wiki became [one of the first decentralized applications to integrate AI technology](https://iq.wiki/blog/qQL4YXD5VnzFRTDmDmJfwbewg8QS--PWFKtmiK4meQY). With this upgrade, IQ.wiki now uses the most advanced AI technology available.

Previously, GPT-3 was used by IQ.wiki to summarize complex wiki articles into brief 256-character summaries for search engines. IQ.wiki has now integrated GPT-4 allowing for more precise and concise summarization, by utilizing the latest advancements in AI technology.

[Watch GPT-4 summarize an in-depth IQ.wiki page on the Ethereum Name Service](https://youtu.be/EpcZE1dxMjQ) in seconds.

Here’s what the 256-character summary of the [ENS IQ.wiki article](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ens) looks like with GPT-3  vs. GPT-4:

**GPT-3:** Ethereum Name Service is a decentralized, open source, and permissible naming system which runs on the Ethereum smart contracts.

**GPT-4:** Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized, blockchain-based naming system that enables human-readable names for Ethereum addresses and resources, similar to the Domain Name System.

BrainDAO was granted whitelist access to GPT-4 to implement this upgrade, which is the latest milestone in OpenAI's scaling up of deep learning. GPT-4's exceptional reliability, creativity, and ability to handle instructions make it superior to its predecessor when dealing with complex tasks like summarizing wikis.

BrainDAO is the governing decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) responsible for overseeing the IQ ecosystem's development in creating a more intelligent future through the IQ token. The DAO is collectively made up of all IQ token stakers who govern the token and the BrainDAO treasury. [BrainDAO's treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) has amassed over $14 million in total assets as of writing. The IQ token is backed by the BrainDAO treasury, which is entirely managed by HiIQ holders. BrainDAO continues to strategically invest in a diverse range of assets, including IQ tokens, Ethereum, stablecoins, blue chip NFTs, and others.

BrainDAO is now focused on developing its own AI by training its LLM with wiki articles on IQ.wiki to improve the quality of summaries further. In addition, BrainDAO is exploring several AI use cases within the IQ ecosystem, such as translating articles into different languages, identifying potential trending topics, and editing wiki articles for spelling and grammar.  This would break down barriers and make it much easier for editors to collaborate and share knowledge about the blockchain space. AI will be a key instrumental tool in scaling IQ.wiki and increasing the IQ token's utility.

In 2023, one of BrainDAO's main objectives will be to integrate AI into the IQ.wiki platform and develop a system around training artificial intelligence. By offering IQ token rewards for contributions to the IQ.wiki encyclopedia, BrainDAO can incentivize the testing and development of AI. Stay tuned for more details on BrainDAO's plans!

BrainDAO now has over 2700 ETH staked through Frax Finance’s LSD. This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated from Frax Ether validators are distributed to sfrxETH holders like BrainDAO. [Frax Ether](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-ether-frxeth-and-sfrxeth) launched in January 2023, and the [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) now has 2785 Staked Frax Ether which is equivalent to more than $4.7 million as of writing. The [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) continues to grow its war chest as it now has over $13 million in total assets as of writing. The IQ token is backed by the BrainDAO treasury and the treasury is fully governed by HiIQ holders. BrainDAO holds a diversified portfolio of IQ tokens, Ethereum, stablecoins, blue chip NFTs, and other assets.

BrainDAO has been steadily accumulating ETH over time. ETH isn’t the only asset that BrainDAO has accumulated since its launch. The BrainDAO treasury has also been accumulating FRAX stablecoins through the Time-Weighted Average Market Maker (TWAMM) on [Fraxswap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fraxswap) along with other notable assets.

Frax Finance launched Frax Ether in October 2022. Frax Ether is a liquid ETH staking derivative designed to uniquely leverage the Frax Finance ecosystem to maximize staking yield and smoothen the Ethereum staking process for a simplified, secure, and DeFi-native way to earn interest on ETH. BrainDAO chose liquid staking with Frax Ether since it offers the highest return and security. Additionally, by opting to use a liquid ETH staking derivative instead of staking ETH in another form, staking yield can be accrued much more simply, abstracting the need to run validators, allowing yield to be earned on any amount of ETH. allowing withdrawals at any time and of any size, and allowing far greater composability throughout DeFi.

ETH in the Frax ecosystem comes in two forms, frxETH (Frax Ether), and sfrxETH (Staked Frax Ether).

frxETH acts as a stablecoin loosely pegged to ETH, so that 1 frxETH always represents 1 ETH and the amount of frxETH in circulation matches the amount of ETH in the Frax ETH system.

sfrxETH is a ERC-4626 vault designed to accrue the staking yield of the Frax ETH validators. At any time, frxETH can be exchanged for sfrxETH by depositing it into the sfrxETH vault, which allows users to earn staking yield on their frxETH.

By holding highly liquid stablecoins and Staked Frax Ethereum, BrainDAO provides the IQ token with more stability and protection during bear markets. While BrainDAO’s exposure to blue chip NFTs, the IQ token itself, and other assets allow the token to grow more quickly during bull markets. This is just the start of BrainDAO’s growth as we plan to further diversify the treasury and bring in new cash flow to BrainDAO.

Artificial intelligence is now part of the IQ token ecosystem. BrainDAO has integrated OpenAI's GPT-3 model into IQ.wiki, the world’s largest blockchain encyclopedia. 

Distilling complex wiki articles into concise 256-character summaries can be a time-consuming and challenging task, but with the help of GPT-3, 5000-word IQ.wiki articles like this page on [Bored Ape Yacht Club](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bored-ape-yacht-club) can now be [summarized in seconds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6oW5BFAhzY). These summaries are then used by search engines like Google. 

And this is just the beginning. We are exploring several use cases for AI within the IQ ecosystem. BrainDAO is looking into how AI could be used to translate articles into different languages. This would break down barriers and make it much easier for editors to collaborate and share knowledge about the blockchain space. Another use case is identifying potential trending topics before they became popular. AI could also be used to edit wiki articles for spelling and grammar as well as neutrality. AI will be a key tool in scaling IQ.wiki and increasing the utility of the IQ token. 

The IQ token powers a knowledge ecosystem that includes decentralized applications such as [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/). The platform was built from the ground up to be fully Web3 with all edits recorded on-chain through Polygon and IPFS. 

In 2023, BrainDAO will focus on not only integrating AI into the IQ.wiki platform but also building a system around training artificial intelligence. Through IQ token rewards for contributions to the IQ.wiki encyclopedia BrainDAO has the opportunity to incentivize the testing and development of artificial intelligence. We’ll be sharing more about our plans for 2023 soon.

 
 

IQ is now powered by AI: BrainDAO has integrated GPT-3 into IQ.wiki

**Today, [BrainDAO](https://braindao.org/) is introducing the largest-ever update to the IQ token with the launch of [BrainDAO.org](https://braindao.org/) and the brand-new [BrainDAO IQ Dashboard](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard). In addition to the launch of the [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) platform in October, these changes represent the largest improvements and upgrades to the IQ infrastructure to date.**

The IQ token’s new halvening tokenomics model triples the rewards for IQ stakers and increases the rewards for early contributors to IQ.wiki over the next 12 months. The model provides higher initial emissions to incentivize early adopters and gradually lowers emissions to ensure long-term sustainability. The IQ stakers who collectively make up BrainDAO voted in favor of the new model with the [IQIP-14: New IQ Tokenomics for the New IQ.wiki Platform](https://snapshot.everipedia.com/#/proposal/0x0b94293b4e55339b5fb0cacb2fab54590656913171eef4cb0ad17e139304cdbd) proposal passing with an overwhelming majority of votes.

In addition to providing greater rewards to early adopters, the new model makes the IQ token more sustainable. Every year IQ emissions will halve, sustainably decreasing emissions over time until they dip below 1 IQ minted per month in August of 2050 ensuring that the IQ token’s maximum supply cap of 21 billion tokens is never breached.

The new tokenomics will also help grow BrainDAO’s diversified treasury with assets such as IQ, Ethereum, stablecoins, and blue chip NFTs which back the IQ token. As part of the tokenomics update, IQ tokens will also go to the IQ.wiki company allowing for hiring more developers and directing greater resources toward growing the IQ.wiki platform and the IQ ecosystem. The new model also dedicates IQ token rewards to the upcoming NFT gauges system and the Brainies NFT collection. Brainies will be the first NFT collection with real DeFi rewards and will bring new value to the IQ ecosystem. Over time there are plans to add more blue chip NFT collections to the NFT gauges.

The brand new [IQ Dashboard](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard) includes a wide range of new functionality and information for the IQ token, such as [staking](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stake), [bridging](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/bridge), [voting on governance proposals](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/voting), [stats](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stats), [where to get IQ tokens](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/swap), the [NFT raffles](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/raffles), as well as the assets held by the [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury). BrainDAO now also has a new homepage, [braindao.org](https://braindao.org/) where more information will be shared on the progress BrainDAO is making in building out the IQ ecosystem.

Another new addition you will also see in the [BrainDAO Treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) is two new blue-chip NFTs that have been acquired by BrainDAO. The Hashmask Gnostic and Pudgy Penguin #2614 which you can view [here](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury).

[Hashmasks](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hashmasks) were one of the first generative art NFTs to gain traction. The collection launched in January of 2021, with 16,384 unique digital portraits, created by over 70 artists globally. Unlike most NFTs, where the rarity of all traits is set out by the creators, Hashmasks have two layers of scarcity: the creators provided an explicit set of traits to provide general guidance to the consumer but also created implicit traits that have not been explained by the creators. The most unique trait of a Hashamask however is its name since no two Hasmasks can have the same name. Holders can give their Hashmask a name by burning Name Change Tokens (NCTs). We chose to acquire the Hashmask Gnostic specifically for its name. The word gnostic means relating to knowledge and comes from the Greek word gnostikos, meaning "knowing" or "able to discern”. Our Hashmask Gnostic is a symbol of BrainDAO’s commitment to knowledge.

[Pudgy Penguins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pudgy-penguins) are some of the cutest blue-chip NFTs designed with the values of love, empathy, & compassion. Pudgy Penguins launched in July 2021 and quickly rose to prominence getting covered in a New York Times Column just one month later. The collection has grown rapidly over the last few months with the launch of a media arm, physical toys, and a clothing line after the collection. In July 2022, they became one of the first NFT projects to use SoulBound tokens, issuing their own SoulBound token truePengu to celebrate the first birthday of Pudgy Penguins. The Pudgy Penguins' positive vibes and mission of accelerating Web3 innovation through IP utilization and community empowerment is a perfect fit for BrainDAO and the IQ token. The mission and vibes align well with IQ.wiki’s goal of becoming the hub for crypto knowledge and education. We chose Pudgy Penguin #2614 specifically for his baby pink skin and rare pink turtleneck trait.

The team has been constantly adding new features and integrations to IQ.wiki and just last week added new functionality that allows users to check & browse NFT IDs on NFT pages.

BrainDAO introduces the largest-ever update to the IQ token

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/-7wLjlqAbkt7atTwoiB9n.png?height=630&width=1200)

The world’s largest crypto encyclopedia is joining the Ethereum ecosystem. Everipedia has rebranded as [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) and expanded to [Polygon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polygon). IQ.wiki is fully Web3 with [IQ token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq) stakers earning rewards and governing the platform.

IQ.wiki has a wealth of crypto content including pages covering [Cryptocurrencies](https://iq.wiki/categories/cryptocurrencies) like [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/categories/nfts) like [Bored Ape Yacht Club](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bored-ape-yacht-club), [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/categories/defi) projects like [Frax Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-finance), and [People in Crypto](https://iq.wiki/categories/people) like [Vitalik Buterin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/vitalik-buterin).

We’ve designed IQ.wiki from the ground up to serve the crypto community. For full transparency, every edit or change to the encyclopedia will be recorded on the Polygon blockchain with the transaction hash stored on-chain. The data and images uploaded as part of each wiki are stored on the IPFS network and the hashes are included on each page for the users to verify. IQ.wiki pages on cryptocurrencies, NFT projects, and exchanges automatically pull relevant statistics from Coingecko and other reliable APIs. The new site also integrates [Ethereum Name Service (ENS)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ens). If you’ve resolved your ETH address to an ENS name your ENS will automatically show up as your profile name when you log in to the new IQ.wiki site. To allow contributors to log in with their email or social media we’ve integrated Magic a leading user authentication and private key management solution. We’ve also integrated [The Graph](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-graph), a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data in networks like Ethereum and IPFS. To ensure IQ.wiki is fully Web3 we’ve set up a new [IQ.wiki Blog](https://iq.wiki/blog) which is powered by Mirror, the leading Web3 publishing solution.

We decided to build IQ.wiki on Polygon, the leading Ethereum scaling solution, to ensure that the platform is at the heart of the Ethereum ecosystem and can scale to support large numbers of contributors. To ensure a gasless experience for all IQ.wiki contributors we’ve integrated the OpenZeppelin defender relayer.

Along with the expansion to Polygon, Everipedia is rebranding as IQ.wiki. The Everipedia name came from the idea of building the encyclopedia of everything. In 2018, we moved Everipedia onto the blockchain and launched the IQ token for greater transparency and to ensure our users could be rewarded for their contributions. After the launch of the token, our editor base shifted and we saw a lot of interest in our pages covering the crypto space.

Over the past few years NFTs, DeFi, and the pace of innovation in Web3 have exploded. We’ve always been passionate about building and seeing the growth of the space inspired us to build a new site to serve as a hub for crypto knowledge. We’ve called our new site IQ.wiki since our IQ token and cryptocurrency are now central to the platform.

To try out the IQ.wiki site while we are in beta, you just need to sign up for the [IQ Brainlist](https://forms.gle/BGm99S8FWxQkBVE6A). We’ve started sending out invitations today. After the beta period, IQ.wiki plans on introducing HiIQ Brain Pass NFTs for IQ stakers which will provide several benefits including the ability to edit on IQ.wiki. Users will also be able to acquire the NFTs by purchasing them with IQ tokens.

The HiIQ Brain Pass NFTs will be launching soon however, you can already get involved in the IQ ecosystem and start earning IQ token rewards by [staking IQ with HiIQ](https://everipedia.org/iq/lock). IQ stakers have earned over 400 million IQ since the launch of HiIQ and in our last raffle stakers won [100 5-digit ENS](https://iq.wiki/blog/q3LfbP6ACmXZ7MJTA9vRhLTcPVbWOO1TqRroRDcfnAg). IQ stakers also govern the IQ.wiki platform and the IQ token’s treasury, BrainDAO. BrainDAO’s portfolio of Ethereum, IQ tokens, stablecoins, and blue chip NFTs backs the IQ token and is valued at over $5 million. 

With the launch of the new IQ.wiki site we propose setting up new tokenomics for the IQ token. We propose using a halvening model like Bitcoin and FXS which provides higher initial emissions to incentivize early adopters and gradually lowers emissions to ensure long-term sustainability. The proposal[ IQIP-14: New IQ Tokenomics for IQ.wiki](https://snapshot.everipedia.com/#/) is now up for voting by IQ stakers on Snapshot.

With the rebranding of Everipedia to IQ.wiki, we are also making some changes to leadership and structure. Everipedia’s longtime Chief Community Officer Navin Vethanayagam will become the Chief Brain of IQ.wiki. Cesar Rodriguez, Everipedia’s Director of Engineering who led the development of the new platform will become the Chief Technology Officer of IQ.wiki. Navin and Cesar will also serve as the Galaxy Brain and Chief Brain Officer of BrainDAO, the DAO which manages the IQ token. Everipedia Co-founder and CEO Theodor Forselius as well as CFO and COO Suchet Dhindsa will move to a new parent company dedicated more broadly to investing in the future of knowledge. Everipedia co-founders Sam Kazemian and Travis Moore will also remain in the parent company as board members. This new structure will allow Navin and Cesar to focus on leading the growth of the IQ.wiki platform and for the Everipedia co-founders to focus on broader strategic goals for the company and the whole ecosystem.

This is just the beginning, we have a lot more planned. In the future, we plan on integrating DEX swaps into each IQ.wiki page so you can ape into any crypto as you read about it. There’s a lot more planned for the IQ ecosystem. Stay tuned for our upcoming Brainies NFT collection which will combine DeFi IQ staking rewards, art, and knowledge. The IQ ecosystem is only growing smarter.

Whether you’re a shadowy super coder, a DeFi degen, ETH maxi, or NFT maxi, IQ.wiki is the place to learn and share knowledge about the crypto space. Make sure to sign up for the [IQ Brainlist](https://forms.gle/BGm99S8FWxQkBVE6A) and join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/nUfun84PCc) if you want to get involved.

Everipedia becomes IQ.wiki - The Largest Crypto Encyclopedia expands to the Ethereum Ecosystem

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/aJvJ8J8e21cKWrbzwobns.png?height=897&width=1600)

It’s time for the November edition of IQ Monthly News which covers IQ token news, partnerships, and more. On November 1, we released [IQ v3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq-v3), the largest update to the IQ ecosystem. However that’s not all in November, IQ.wiki wrote the definition for AI Coins, we met the Brains behind IQ v3, learned more about IQ Code, and IQ.wiki spoke at Thailand Blockchain Week & Hong Kong Fintech Week.

### IQ v3 Launch

On November 1, we released [IQ v3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq-v3), an update and vision document that outlines BrainDAO’s plan for growing the IQ ecosystem by further integrating artificial intelligence. We will be expanding IQ.wiki and IQ GPT as well as launching new products like IQ Code, the first AI tool for coding for blockchain languages like Solidity and Vyper, and [IQ.social](https://iq.social/), the first AI-powered hub for crypto news which is already live. Learn more with our [blog post](https://iq.wiki/blog/qAzLe9-YqExKPmZioQI7EzjSLsZv8PpL0UmOA-MERcY). In this report, we delve deeper into the tokenomics update and the upcoming launch of IQ Code.

## Tokenomics Update

As a part of IQ v3, the team behind IQ.wiki shared enhanced tokenomics. BrainDAO proposed using the halvening model like Bitcoin and FXS which provides higher initial emissions to incentivize early adopters and gradually lowers emissions to ensure long-term sustainability. IQ’s halvening model where emissions halve every 12 months is ideal for the IQ ecosystem with the launch of the new products since it heavily incentivizes early adoption and rapid growth. The model has been designed after the Bitcoin and Ethereum halvening model which has shown to work efficiently. The first IQ halvening occurred in November 2023.

Along with the IQ token halvening, the team proposed to further reduce IQ token inflation going towards the TWAMM. IQIP-18, the [Inflation Reduction Act](https://snapshot.org/#/everipediaiq.eth/proposal/0xb24f4d302aa2f522165806f444764f053680e414a244923361accab55d0bd568) passed with a record 1.3 billion HiIQ votes in favor of the proposal, which is now implemented and further reduces IQ token inflation. This reduction brings the daily allocation down from its current level of 2,166,667 IQ, following the halving, to 2,000,000 IQ per day. The halving model guarantees that IQ token inflation will halve each year, ensuring that the total supply of IQ remains below the 21 billion IQ token cap.

## Introducing IQ Code: The First AI Model for Smart Contracts

IQ Code will be the first AI model for smart contracts and is set to launch in 2024. Users will be able to generate code using AI, with clear explanations. IQ Code is specifically designed for coding smart contracts and can be used for auditing, vulnerability reports, and faster development.

Here is IQ Code being used to audit and find vulnerabilities in smart contracts. IQ Code scans the code and also provides updated contracts for suggestions.

For more information and examples of IQ Code in action check out this [thread](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1722437891874509277).

### IQ writes the definition for AI Coins

In November, IQ.wiki wrote the definition for AI Coins. Our definition was published by CoinMarketCap and included the IQ token as a key example of an AI Coin. [Our tweet](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1725587729021575480) about the definition of AI Coins received over 40,000 impressions. The article explains what AI Coins are and why they matter. It also compares the differences and similarities between AI Coins and traditional tokens. For a more in-depth look at the AI Coins check out our [wiki on AI Coins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ai-coins).

### Meet the Brains Behind IQ v3

It’s time to meet the brains from [BrainDAO](https://braindao.org/) who are building [IQ v3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq-v3). BrainDAO manages the development of the IQ ecosystem employing [AI](https://iq.wiki/wiki/artificial-intelligence-ai) engineers, a product team, content editors, management, and a growth team.

BrainDAO is led by Galaxy Brain, [Navin Vethanayagam](https://iq.wiki/wiki/navin-vethanayagam), who worked on the launch of the IQ token in 2018 and led the launch of [HiIQ](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hiiq), IQ.wiki, IQ GPT, and IQ v3. Navin was quoted by [CoinDesk](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1722023515770011761) in a piece about the launch of IQ v3 and has been interviewed by the Crypto Coin Show, Show Me The Crypto, and CryptoSlate on the IQ ecosystem.

[Cesar Rodriguez](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cesar-rodriguez), the Chief Tinkerer Officer of BrainDAO, leads all of the technical aspects of BrainDAO. Cesar led the development of IQGPT.com, IQ.wiki, and IQ.social as well as the upcoming [IQ Code](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1722437878754759133). Cesar has done it all with experience in ROS, robotics, Solidity, C++, blockchain, software architecture, data mining, big data, PHP, product development, project management, A/B testing, conversion, SOLID OOP, scalability engineering and tuning, and analytics.

[Andy Cho](https://iq.wiki/wiki/andy-cho) first joined BrainDAO as the company’s Director of Communications in South Korea in 2018. After several years of managing key exchange and partner relationships in Korea, he was promoted to BrainMaxi in 2022. Andy also attends all major events based in Asia and recently spoke at Hong Kong Fintech Week & Thailand Blockchain Week in 2023.

The Content Team is led by [Violeta Ziborova](https://iq.wiki/wiki/violetta-ziborova), who manages all of IQ.wiki and IQ.social's content. They create and edit thousands of encyclopedia articles covering everything from founders like [Vitalik Buterin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/vitalik-buterin) to NFTs like [Pudgy Penguins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pudgy-penguins) and complex DeFi topics like [TWAMMs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/twamm-time-weighted-automated-market-maker).

### IOTA Co-founder Uses IQ.wiki as a Reference

In November, one of the [IOTA blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iota) co-founders, Sergey Ivancheglo [used his IQ.wiki page](https://twitter.com/c___f___b/status/1728015882687782992) in an X.com response to explain who he is. In his post, Ivancheglo provided more information on one of his projects called Qubic and added a reference to his wiki page for those who would like to learn more about his crypto journey. IQ.wiki is the best place to learn about crypto founders with the first real-time [ranking of the most influential cryptocurrency founders](https://iq.wiki/rank/founders) based on the market cap of the cryptocurrencies they founded. The ranking combines in-depth wikis on founders of the top 100 cryptocurrencies as well as wikis about cryptocurrencies themselves and respective blockchains with real-time data of the projects’ market caps. Expect to hear more about the ranking in December.

### Runpod vLLM Worker Launch

The BrainDAO team is continuing to build on IQ Code and has introduced the [Runpod vLLM Worker](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1722646974636368139), an open-source solution for fine-tuning and training models, including smart contracts.

IQ Monthly News - November 2023

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/FdI8AMDslAUFIuEo5Ht1y.jpg?height=897&width=1600)

It’s time for the October edition of IQ Monthly News! This past month we were working hard towards the launch of IQ v3. There were also several major updates in October including IQ gaining a listing on Coinone, BrainDAO acquiring 2.1 million sFRAX, IQ GPT adding BlockBeats as a source, and a new episode of IQ Times with Bond Protocol.

## Introducing IQ v3: Navigating the Future of Blockchain Knowledge and AI

On November 1, we released [IQ v3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq-v3), an update and vision document that outlines BrainDAO’s plan for growing the IQ ecosystem by further integrating artificial intelligence. We will be expanding IQ.wiki and [IQ GPT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq-gpt) as well as launching new products like IQ Code, the first AI tool for coding for blockchain languages like Solidity and Vyper, and [IQ.social](https://iq.social/), the first AI-powered hub for crypto news which is already live. The IQ v3 launch also marked the day of IQ token's halving event, which reduced token emissions by half. As with Bitcoin and Ethereum, the halvening will reduce inflation and make the token more sustainable and scarce in the long run. As part of IQ v3, we will further improve IQ tokenomics. BrainDAO is working on building a new gauges system to improve the utility of the IQ token in decentralized finance. This will also allow hiIQ stakers more governance rights in deciding where IQ emissions get channeled and create new ways for hiIQ stakers to earn even more yield. Learn more in our dedicated blog [post](https://iq.wiki/blog/qAzLe9-YqExKPmZioQI7EzjSLsZv8PpL0UmOA-MERcY).

## IQ/KRW Pair is Listed on Coinone

In October, [Coinone](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinone), one of Korea’s largest exchanges listed the IQ token with a [KRW fiat pair](https://twitter.com/coinoneofficial/status/1716619661289382373?s=46). This will lead to even greater liquidity and exposure for the IQ token to the South Korean market, which is the largest in Asia. In 2023, the [IQ token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq) saw a record volume on Upbit and Binance seeing several days with over $100 million in volume and one day with over $380 million in volume. It’s no surprise that the IQ token has grown quickly with the rebranding of [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) and with the launch of [IQ GPT](https://iqgpt.com/), the World’s First Crypto Search Engine.

## BrainDAO acquires $2.1 Million Staked FRAX

The [BrainDAO’s treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) has acquired 2,100,000 sFRAX through [Frax Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-finance)’s [ERC4626](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-4626) staking vault. Staked Frax (sFRAX) distributes a portion of the protocol's yield on a weekly basis to stakers, with rewards denominated in FRAX stablecoins. The sFRAX token is a representation of proportional deposits held within the vault and can be redeemed for [FRAX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-stablecoin) stablecoins at any time, maintaining a pro-rata exchange rate. This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated are distributed to sFRAX holders such as BrainDAO.

## BlockBeats becomes the first Chinese source of crypto knowledge for IQ GPT

[BlockBeats](https://www.theblockbeats.info/), a leading Chinese source for the latest developments in blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency industry, [joined forces with IQ GPT](https://iq.wiki/blog/vOia5n3x5lokQLBGDJg4l4LyqYZhl6baphTpHQi8RZQ) to further enhance its capabilities in delivering precise and timely information to its users. Previously, IQ GPT has been trained on data from information platform [CoinGecko](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coingecko), [The Associated Press](https://apnews.com/), Korean crypto news outlet [CoinNess](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinness), [InvestHK](https://iq.wiki/wiki/investhk), the Hong Kong Government's Department of Foreign Direct Investment, decentralized finance (DeFi) content provider [Flywheel DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/flywheel-defi), and IQ.wiki's repository of encyclopedia entries. BlockBeats and [IQ GPT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq-gpt) are committed to revolutionizing how knowledge is accessed, making it easier for anyone to stay informed in the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency. With this partnership, users can expect an even more streamlined and enriched experience when chatting with IQ GPT in Chinese.

## IQ Times Podcast Ep.3: Bond Protocol & IQ.wiki

[BigFishJoe](https://twitter.com/bfjoe1) from [Bond Protocol](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bond-protocol) and [Andy Cho](https://iq.wiki/wiki/andy-cho), the [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iqwiki)’s Director of Business Development, sat down with [Jae](https://twitter.com/jae9six), the individual behind the [IQ Times](https://twitter.com/IQ_TIMES) community initiative, to discuss the advantages of Bonds. During the podcast, BigFishJoe shared insights about the permissionless bonds marketplace, inefficiencies in the market, and options liquidity mining. The complete episode is available [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LONl1aD8JO0&ab_channel=IQTimes).

IQ Monthly News - October 2023

Introducing IQ v3: Navigating the Future of Blockchain Knowledge and AI

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/aBKFBpCFY1R2rcsYouUrn.jpg?height=719&width=1280)

We are delighted to announce that [BrainDAO’s treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) has acquired 2,100,000 sFRAX through [Frax Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-finance)’s [ERC4626](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-4626) staking vault.

Staked Frax(sFRAX) distributes a portion of the protocol's yield on a weekly basis to stakers, with rewards denominated in FRAX stablecoins. The sFRAX token is a representation of proportional deposits held within the vault and can be redeemed for [FRAX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-stablecoin) stablecoins at any time, maintaining a pro-rata exchange rate. This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated are distributed to sFRAX holders such as BrainDAO.

The sFRAX APY aims to approximate the United States Federal Reserve's Interest on Reserve Balances (IORB) rate, using data from the IORB oracle. This rate is widely recognized as the "risk-free rate" for the US Dollar. The FRAX staking vault attempts to align with this rate.

Staked FRAX was released in October 2023, and as of writing we currently hold $2.1M sFRAX which is now the 4th highest in our treasury and the 6th largest staker in sFRAX.

BrainDAO's treasury has been diversifying its portfolio, including holdings of other s[FRAX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-stablecoin) [stablecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) through the [Time-Weighted Average Market Maker (TWAMM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fraxswap#time-weighted-average-market-maker-twamm--2) on [Fraxswap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fraxswap), along with other notable assets such as sfrxETH, cvx[FPIS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-price-index-share-fpis), [cvxFXS](https://frax.convexfinance.com/), s[DAI](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dai) and more.

The Staked FRAX vault’s yield predominantly originates from[ real-world asset (RWA) strategies](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-MJQZMXG-HN8IEfKt-6Q/s/-MJQZW1mSg2O5N7HXHo0-1972196547/~/changes/603/frax-v3/rwas) employed by Frax Protocol partner custodians including, but not limited to, FinresPBC.

Over $40 Million sFRAX has been [staked](https://app.frax.finance/sfrax/stake) as of writing.

Stay tuned for the latest developments from BrainDAO, as the development team is actively working on bringing innovative updates to IQ GPT and is working on other products in the IQ ecosystem that will be included in the IQ V3 update coming soon.

## BrainDAO Achieves a Milestone with Over 3000 ETH Staked

[BrainDAO’s treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) has surpassed a significant milestone, with over 3000 ETH staked through Frax Finance's Liquid Staking Derivative (LSD), [Frax Ether](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-ether-frxeth-and-sfrxeth). This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated from Frax Ether validators are distributed to sfrxETH holders like BrainDAO.

The BrainDAO treasury now holds over $16.9 million in total assets, including holdings of [FRAX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-stablecoin) stablecoins through the [Time-Weighted Average Market Maker (TWAMM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fraxswap#time-weighted-average-market-maker-twamm--2) on [Fraxswap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fraxswap), along with other notable assets such as [WBTC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/wrapped-bitcoin-wbtc), WETH, [cvxFXS](https://frax.convexfinance.com/) and more.

IQ Monthly News - July 2023

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/63u4VGt-jJoXZna1FcQsN.jpg?height=719&width=1280)

IQ holders have locked up a record [1\.2 Billion IQ, resulting in a total of over 4 Billion HiIQ](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stake)! [HiIQ](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hiiq) has grown exponentially within the past few months with the integration of AI technology on [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) and in anticipation of our upcoming new AI product. The new tokenomics further incentivize early adopters with greater IQ incentives. To mark the occasion [IQ Times, a community-run media organization dedicated to covering the IQ ecosystem, is raffling](https://mirror.xyz/iqtimes.eth/e2vaf-CC3_8mQu9WsDgJUOCFZQMalWsr2QCQRrJXy1k) [20 Korean-Pop-Revolution NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/korean-pop-revolution) to IQ stakers using Chainlink VRF on Polygon!

Within the last few months, [IQ integrated Lens Protocol’s Lenster](https://iq.wiki/blog/dV0XBpM5g0GJzuRhxyCq8knBi3mXzk7JCWrAo4ylG7Y) along with [Lens Account Integration](https://iq.wiki/blog/WnLPFzq4r6FLP_DiwIBdt5hU36rpclAbuEMbTLVwBqg) on IQ.wiki. [Bond Protocol embedded IQ.wiki contents](https://iq.wiki/blog/SwDQJAv_XW6XMDmx6ll4lH6NNh3bzQZo8aBuPH0t2mU) in several multimillion-dollar bond markets on Bond Protocol. Moreover, BrainDAO achieved a Milestone with [Over 3000 ETH Staked through Frax Finance's LSD, Frax Ether](https://iq.wiki/blog/jE6oRix6LJDnGWR2M8jdAvyDFPgSbgkWR23FyrlN_Zc). This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all earnings generated from Frax Ether validators are distributed to sfrxETH holders like BrainDAO. 

[HiIQ](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iq#hiiq-6) was created to incentivize IQ holders to become long-term holders who lock up their IQ tokens. The HiIQ system allows IQ holders to choose how long they want to lock up their IQ, the more IQ and the longer users lock up their IQ for the greater their voting power and incentivization. For example, if the user stakes 100 IQ for 4 years, they will receive 400 HiIQ. Most importantly, HiIQ holders will be able to determine IQ.wiki’s course of action in the future by participating in governance.

This news comes at a perfect time as BrainDAO is currently working on an advanced AI tool designed specifically for the cryptocurrency community to answer queries related to blockchain. We are collaborating with numerous leading companies and projects in the industry, who have joined us as reliable source providers and official partners. IQ.wiki Chief Brain Navin Vethanayagam recently spoke about IQ.wiki and our upcoming AI product in interviews with [The Crypto Coin Show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppdAZ9xJQak) and [Show Me the Crypto](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huCkWkM7hDo). Stay tuned for more updates around our AI product in August!

# **About IQ**

IQ Holders Achieve a Milestone of Over 4 Billion HiIQ

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/ZXUXRpUJXIoW5I8ettmfY.jpg?height=700&width=1246)

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that [BrainDAO’s treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) has surpassed a significant milestone, with over 3000 ETH staked through Frax Finance's Liquid Staking Derivative (LSD), [Frax Ether](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-ether-frxeth-and-sfrxeth). This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated from Frax Ether validators are distributed to sfrxETH holders like BrainDAO.

Frax Ether was launched in January 2023, and we are proud to announce that the BrainDAO’s 3000 Staked Frax Ether is currently valued at more than $6 million. This remarkable growth has fortified the BrainDAO treasury even further, which now holds over $16.9 million in total assets.

BrainDAO's treasury has been diversifying its portfolio, including holdings of [FRAX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-stablecoin) stablecoins through the [Time-Weighted Average Market Maker (TWAMM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fraxswap#time-weighted-average-market-maker-twamm--2) on [Fraxswap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fraxswap), along with other notable assets such as [WBTC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/wrapped-bitcoin-wbtc), WETH, [cvxFXS](https://frax.convexfinance.com/) and more.  

Frax Ether, a leading liquid ETH staking derivative, was founded by [Frax Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-finance) in October 2022 and has proven to be an exceptional choice for the  BrainDAO treasury. It uniquely leverages the Frax Finance ecosystem to maximize staking yield and streamline the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) staking process, providing a simplified, secure, and [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi)\-native way to earn interest on ETH. Our decision to utilize a liquid ETH staking derivative with Frax Ether has brought numerous advantages, including higher returns and enhanced security. Additionally, it abstracts the need to run validators, enabling yield to be earned on any amount of ETH, while also allowing for easy withdrawals at any time and of any size. This versatility and composability throughout DeFi make it an ideal option for BrainDAO. 

Within the Frax ecosystem, ETH exists in two forms: frxETH (Frax Ether) and sfrxETH (Staked Frax Ether). FrxETH acts as a stablecoin, pegged to ETH at a 1:1 ratio, ensuring its value is always linked to Ethereum. On the other hand, sfrxETH is an ERC-4626 vault designed to accumulate the staking yield of the Frax ETH validators. Users can easily exchange frxETH for sfrxETH, allowing them to earn staking yield on their holdings. 

By maintaining a strategic balance between highly liquid stablecoins and Staked Frax Ethereum, BrainDAO provides the IQ token with more stability and protection. Simultaneously, our exposure to blue-chip NFTs, the IQ token itself, and other assets enable its growth to accelerate during bull markets.

Stay Tuned as BrainDAO’s future plans include further diversification of our treasury and the introduction of new cash flow mechanisms to reinforce BrainDAO's position.

IQ Monthly News - June 2023

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/mvGQv5wJnKrukpfeeHs1F.jpg?height=720&width=1280)

We are thrilled to announce that IQ.wiki is now on Lens Protocol with the handle [IQwiki.lens](https://www.lensfrens.xyz/iqwiki.lens) and Lenster with the handle [IQwiki](https://lenster.xyz/u/iqwiki)! Anyone from the Lens community can check out our [first post](https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01cb34-0x02) and sign up to be whitelisted on IQ.wiki. Additionally, all users can now add their len’s account to their IQ.wiki profile and share their IQ.wiki article directly on Lenster.

Last month, IQ.wiki [integrated Lens Protocol’s Lenster](https://iq.wiki/blog/dV0XBpM5g0GJzuRhxyCq8knBi3mXzk7JCWrAo4ylG7Y) which allows [Lens Protocol’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lens-protocol) community of over 100,000 users to easily share IQ.wiki pages onto [Lenster](https://iq.wiki/wiki/lenster), the leading Web3 social platform on Lens. The IQ ecosystem is now more accessible than ever.

Lenster is a composable, decentralized, and permissionless social media web dApp built with Lens Protocol. Lenster was the first Web3 social experience to be built on Lens and functions similarly to Twitter both in layout and execution, with added support for a variety of NFT types.

The Lens Protocol is a Web3 social graph on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake blockchain founded by [Stani Kulechov](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stani-kulechov) of [Aave](https://iq.wiki/wiki/aave). It is designed to empower creators to own the links between themselves and their community, forming a fully composable, user-owned social graph. The protocol is built from the ground up with modularity in mind, allowing new features and fixes to be added while ensuring immutable user-owned content and social relationships.

Lens Protocol seeks to solve major issues in existing social media networks. Namely, Web2 networks all read from their unique, centralized database. The user’s profile, friends, and content are locked to a specific network and owned by the network operator. This causes each network to fight a zero-sum game for the user’s attention. \
\
Lens Protocol corrects this by being a user-owned, open social graph that any application can plug into. Since users own their data, they can bring it to any application built on top of Lens Protocol. As the true owners of their content, creators no longer need to worry about losing their content, audience, and livelihood based on the whims of an individual platform's algorithms and policies. Additionally, each application using Lens Protocol benefits the whole ecosystem, turning the zero-sum game into a collaborative one. Developers can design meaningful social experiences without needing to turn to feedback mechanisms to lock in a user's attention.

IQ Monthly News - April 2023

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/J6yBQEP8E-DTQGKB04TTh.jpg?height=661&width=1176)

IQ holders have locked up a record 1 Billion [IQ](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stake)! HiIQ has grown exponentially within the past few months with the implementation of the new tokenomics further incentivize early adopters with greater IQ incentives. To mark the occasion BrainDAO is looking into working with community to create a new raffle event for HiIQ.

Back in November 2022, IQ announced the IQ token’s new halvening tokenomics model which triples the reward emissions for HiIQ holders. This model provides higher initial emissions to incentivize early adopters and gradually lowers emissions to ensure long-term sustainability. 

HiIQ was created to incentivize IQ holders to become long-term holders who lock up their IQ tokens. The HiIQ system allows IQ holders to choose how long they want to lock up their IQ, the more IQ and the longer users lock up their IQ for the greater the incentivization. Most importantly, HiIQ holders will be able to determine IQ.wiki’s course of action in the future by participating in governance.

You can [watch GPT-4 summarize](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpcZE1dxMjQ&feature=youtu.be) an in-depth IQ.wiki page on the Ethereum Name Service in seconds.

BrainDAO is now focused on building more AI tools for the crypto community, developing its own AI by training its LLM with wiki articles on IQ.wiki to improve the quality of summaries further. In addition, BrainDAO is exploring several AI use cases within the IQ ecosystem, such as translating articles into different languages, identifying potential trending topics, and editing wiki articles for spelling and grammar.  This would break down barriers and make it much easier for editors to collaborate and share knowledge about the blockchain space. AI will be a key instrumental tool in scaling IQ.wiki and increasing the IQ token's utility.

One of BrainDAO's main objectives will be to integrate AI into the IQ.wiki platform and develop a system around training artificial intelligence. By offering IQ token rewards for contributions to the IQ.wiki encyclopedia, BrainDAO can incentivize the testing and development of AI. Stay tuned for more details on BrainDAO's plans!

Additionally, BrainDAO now has over 2700 ETH staked through Frax Finance’s LSD. This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated from Frax Ether validators are distributed to sfrxETH holders like BrainDAO. The BrainDAO treasury continues to grow its war chest as it now has over $16 million in total assets as of writing. The IQ token is backed by the BrainDAO treasury and the treasury is fully governed by HiIQ holders. BrainDAO holds a diversified portfolio of IQ tokens, Ethereum, stablecoins, blue chip NFTs, and other assets.

### IQ.wiki integrates OpenAI’s GPT-4 for Summaries

The IQ ecosystem has [upgraded from OpenAI's GPT-3 model to the latest GPT-4 model](https://iq.wiki/blog/_9LfSpHNK3wpZy3xO4cXWYNEzTiTqAfbUA48dzkv8ZI), enhancing IQ.wiki, the world's largest blockchain encyclopedia. Previously, GPT-3 was used by IQ.wiki to summarize complex wiki articles into brief 256-character summaries for search engines. Integrating GPT-4 allows for more precise and concise summarization, by utilizing the latest advancements in AI technology. [Watch GPT-4 summarize an in-depth IQ.wiki page on the Ethereum Name Service](https://youtu.be/EpcZE1dxMjQ) in seconds.

[BrainDAO](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard) is now focused on developing its own AI by training its LLM with wiki articles on IQ.wiki to improve the quality of summaries further. In addition, BrainDAO is exploring several AI use cases within the IQ ecosystem, such as translating articles into different languages, identifying potential trending topics, and editing wiki articles for spelling and grammar.

### IQ is now on CoinGecko's Top Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tokens by Market Cap list

In March 2023, IQ was added to [CoinGecko's Top Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tokens by Market Cap list](https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/artificial-intelligence). This came after IQ.wiki integrated OpenAI's GPT-4 AI model.

[Frax Ether](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-ether-frxeth-and-sfrxeth) is a liquid ETH staking derivative designed to uniquely leverage the Frax Finance ecosystem to maximize staking yield and smoothen the Ethereum staking process for a simplified, secure, and DeFi-native way to earn interest on ETH. BrainDAO chose liquid staking with Frax Ether since it offers the highest return and security. This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated from Frax Ether validators are distributed to sfrxETH holders like BrainDAO. Frax Ether launched in January 2023, and the [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) now has 2785 sfrxETH which is equivalent to more than $5.1 million as of writing.

IQ Monthly News - January 2023

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/f0elfTH0YhXjA-hzkv1Jl.png?height=879&width=1563)

BrainDAO has staked 1000 ETH through Frax Finance’s liquid staking system. [Frax Finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-finance), the leading DeFi known for the world’s first fractional stablecoin and crypto native consumer price index launched Frax Ether in October 2022. Frax Ether is a liquid ETH staking derivative designed to uniquely leverage the Frax Finance ecosystem to maximize staking yield and smoothen the Ethereum staking process for a simplified, secure, and DeFi-native way to earn interest on ETH.

ETH in the Frax ecosystem comes in two forms, frxETH (Frax Ether), and sfrxETH (Staked Frax Ether).

frxETH acts as a stablecoin loosely pegged to ETH, so that 1 frxETH always represents 1 ETH and the amount of frxETH in circulation matches the amount of ETH in the Frax ETH system.

sfrxETH is an ERC-4626 vault designed to accrue the staking yield of the Frax ETH validators. At any time, frxETH can be exchanged for sfrxETH by depositing it into the sfrxETH vault, which allows users to earn staking yield on their frxETH.

Additionally, [IQIP-15: Staking BrainApe and ApeCoin to earn ApeCoin Rewards for BrainDAO](https://snapshot.everipedia.com/#/proposal/0xf7fb31525b641d764a06b48635e0e2b9e00eb3a3920b3af984994919c6c012f2) recently passed with tremendous support. Be on the look-out for our BrainAPE farming ApeCoins!

This is just the start of BrainDAO’s growth as we plan to further diversify the treasury and bring in new cashflow to BrainDAO.

It’s time for the IQ Wrapped 2022! Throughout 2022, we’ve seen IQ through bear and bull. It’s been a huge year for IQ with the launch of the new [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) site and [the largest ever update to the IQ token](https://iq.wiki/blog/R37dsVAib2XCh_ux-TNwRZ0L9Sfb_gc4gdHjcitBpX0). Which month do you think took the cake? Let’s take a look at some of IQ’s top moments of 2022 which covers IQ token news, growth, partnerships, and more!

### January:

In January, [Binance Savings launched the IQ token](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1484406909738225667) on Binance Activities. January marked the start of our collaboration with Binance as we expanded with margin trading with up to [3x leverage options](https://www.binance.com/en/trade/IQ_BUSD?type=isolated).

The IQ token also [expanded onto Klaytn](https://twitter.com/Orbit_Chain/status/1484467699384082432), a leading blockchain built by Kakao. This enabled IQ holders to bridge their IQ tokens from Ethereum to Klaytn through the [Orbit Bridge](https://bridge.orbitchain.io/) developed by Ozys.mKlaytn is a public blockchain developed by internet giant Kakao Corp, which operates South Korea’s biggest messaging and social media service.

[IQ and Zipcy’s SuperNormal raffled off 15 NFTs to IQ stakers](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1487117127916032000) using Chainlink VRF on Polygon to celebrate the Korean Seoullal/Chinese New Year. Zipcy, the artist behind the NFT collection, is a renowned South Korean digital illustrator. Each NFT consists of over 1000 traits. The collection of 8888 Generative NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain represents individualism by portraying elements of the diverse and unique.

In January, IQ was also covered by [Cointelegraph](https://cointelegraph.com/news/art-emergency-wikipedia-editors-vote-against-classifying-nfts-as-art). A group of editors at Wikipedia stated they do not believe NFTs are a form of art. The Wikipedia editors then removed notable NFT art sales including Beeple’s $69-million NFT sale from their list of top art sales.The news stirred some backlash from NFT artists and the crypto community. Cointelegraph covered our response to Wikipedia’s actions quoting us, “Everipedia editors have created over 100 pages on #NFT collections while Wikipedia is moving to mark NFTs as ‘not art’ across their platform. It’s time for NFT projects to move to Everipedia $IQ, a Web 3.0 encyclopedia which supports art and innovation.”

### February:

In addition to the launch of the IQ token on Binance savings and margin trading, [Binance](https://www.binance.com/en), the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, enabled support for IQ on Ethereum. This was a historic moment for the IQ token as it made it much easier for anyone to get IQ on the Ethereum network.

Here is a [guide](https://learn.everipedia.org/iq/iq/bridges/bridging-iq-to-eth-with-binance) on bridging IQ on EOS to IQ on ETH on Binance.

Through this, IQ holders can now deposit and withdraw IQ tokens on Ethereum on [Binance](https://www.binance.com/en).

IQ also launched a new Instagram dedicated to covering Web 3.0. The mission of IQ.wiki platform is to bring knowledge to the world and knowledge onto the blockchain. As part of that mission, [@iqwiki\_](https://www.instagram.com/iqwiki_/) was launched on Instagram dedicated to Web 3, NFT, and crypto news.

Last but not least, February was the first month that IQ teased the launch of the first Web 3.0 encyclopedia. This month marked the beginning of [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/).

### March:

The [BrainDAO Blue Chip NFTs proposal](https://snapshot.everipedia.com/#/proposal/0x52cc4c6e6ab7c22c4f1044d0de857183db39cc82d73dd360f13f915b96e8b93e) passed with over 685m HiIQ votes in March which was more than half of the total HiIQ supply at the time of the vote. With this proposal passing governance, the IQ team allocated 200 ETH worth of funds from the [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) to go towards the purchase of Blue Chip NFTs.

### April:

In April, IQ Bonds went live on Olympus Pro on Polygon. By expanding the Olympus Pro Bonds program for IQ, the IQ token was able to quickly develop long-term liquidity on Polygon, a plasma-based aggregator which is one of the fastest-growing Ethereum L2 scaling solutions.

IQ and Shinsekai raffled off 6 [Shinsekai](https://shinsekai.io/) NFTs to HiIQ stakers using Chainlink VRF on Polygon. Shinsekai, is a collection of 10,000 unique manga-inspired 3D NFTs. Each Trait was meticulously designed by Kashama, a 3D artist.

### May:

In May, BrainDAO acquired Bored Ape #9665 A.K.A [BrainApe](https://iq.wiki/wiki/brainape), the leader of BrainDAO and Brainies in bringing the Future of Knowledge to the Metaverse. BrainDAO acquired BAYC #9665 specifically because of its Pink fur trait which represents the brain, the center of all knowledge. $IQ holders and BrainDAO together will be the stewards of the Ape and will determine its course of action in the future.

### June:

In June, the [IQ token got listed on Fraxswap](https://app.frax.finance/swap/main?from=0x579CEa1889991f68aCc35Ff5c3dd0621fF29b0C9&to=0x853d955aCEf822Db058eb8505911ED77F175b99e), the most innovative and capital-efficient Time Weighted Average Market Maker for trustless monetary policy in DeFi.

IQ [raffled off 100 of 100k club (5 digit ENS) domains](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/raffles/ens-raffle) to HiIQ stakers using Chainlink VRF on Polygon in June.

IQ’s dev team continued to build on the all-new encyclopedia by including documentation for using the magic connector used for wagmi with RainbowKit. The purpose was for expanding our product with the inclusion of innovative functionalities like a gas-less experience and smooth integration with Metamask. June was an important month as we hinted at a public beta of the new encyclopedia website.

### July:

Rewards for [IQ/FRAX pair on Fraxswap](https://app.frax.finance/staking/fraxswap-v2-frax-iq) went live in July. The proposal to launch FXS rewards passed with overwhelming support, this enabled anyone to earn FXS and IQ tokens on Frax Finance by providing liquidity to the FRAX/IQ pair on Fraxswap.

The IQ token also got listed on [1inch](https://app.1inch.io/#/1/unified/swap/IQ/FRAX), the leading DEX aggregator with 253 liquidity sources. This allowed all IQ holders to swap their IQ tokens for all the tokens that are offered on 1inch. 1inch is one the most capital-efficient trading platforms and optimizes users' trades across hundreds of DEXes on multiple networks such as Ethereum, Gnosis, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Fantom to ensure the best prices for users.

### August:

Back in July, IQ raffled off 100 of [100k Club ENS](https://ens.vision/categories/100k-club?page=0) to [HiIQ stakers](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stake) using Chainlink VRF on Polygon. The winners of the largest ENS giveaway in history were announced on the [IQ Dashboard](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/raffles) and the ENS were distributed out to the winners.

### September:

In September, the [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury) reached a record $2 million in wrapped ethereum and over $5 million in total assets. The IQ token is backed by the BrainDAO treasury and the treasury is fully governed by IQ token stakers. BrainDAO holds a diversified portfolio of IQ tokens, ethereum, stablecoins, blue chip NFTs, and other assets.

IQ has been accumulating ETH over time through Olympus Pro bonds. ETH isn’t the only asset that BrainDAO has accumulated since its launch. The BrainDAO treasury has also been accumulating FRAX stablecoins through the Time-Weighted Average Market Maker (TWAMM) on [Fraxswap](https://app.frax.finance/swap/main).

Lastly, the IQ team hinted the finish line for the all-new crypto encyclopedia, [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) along with the waitlist for the public beta.

### October:

October was a huge month for IQ as [Everipedia became IQ.wiki - The Largest Crypto Encyclopedia and expanded to the Ethereum Ecosystem](https://iq.wiki/blog/il83x1k4q5FdsuVJBCbAVjMlOytJ4Q5k8tsjSxG9ixg). The IQ team designed [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) from the ground up to serve the crypto community. For full transparency, every edit or change to the encyclopedia will be recorded on the Polygon blockchain with the transaction hash stored on-chain. The data and images uploaded as part of each wiki are stored on the IPFS network and the hashes are included on each page for the users to verify. IQ.wiki pages on [cryptocurrencies](https://iq.wiki/categories/cryptocurrencies) like [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), [NFT projects](https://iq.wiki/categories/nfts) like [Bored Ape Yacht Club](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bored-ape-yacht-club), and exchanges like [Binance](https://iq.wiki/search/binance) automatically pull relevant statistics from Coingecko and other reliable APIs. The new site also integrated [Ethereum Name Service (ENS)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ens). All users who resolved their ETH address to an ENS name their ENS will automatically show up as their profile name when they log in to the new IQ.wiki site. To allow contributors to log in with their email or social media, the IQ team also integrated Magic, a leading user authentication and private key management solution. Additionally, the team also integrated The Graph, a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data in networks like Ethereum and IPFS. To ensure IQ.wiki is fully Web3 we’ve set up a new IQ.wiki Blog which is powered by Mirror, the leading Web3 publishing solution.

The IQ team decided to build IQ.wiki on Polygon, the leading Ethereum scaling solution, to ensure that the platform is at the heart of the Ethereum ecosystem and can scale to support large numbers of contributors. To ensure a gasless experience for all IQ.wiki contributors we’ve integrated the OpenZeppelin defender relayer.

To ensure the rapid growth of the IQ token in addition to the launch of the new [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) site, the IQ team proposed setting up new tokenomics for the IQ token.

### November:

In November, [BrainDAO introduced the largest-ever update to the IQ token](https://iq.wiki/blog/R37dsVAib2XCh_ux-TNwRZ0L9Sfb_gc4gdHjcitBpX0) with the launch of [BrainDAO.org](https://braindao.org/) and the brand-new [BrainDAO IQ Dashboard](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard). In addition to the launch of the all-new IQ.wiki platform in October, these changes represent the largest improvements and upgrades to the IQ infrastructure to date.

The [IQ token’s new halvening tokenomics model](https://snapshot.everipedia.com/#/proposal/0x0b94293b4e55339b5fb0cacb2fab54590656913171eef4cb0ad17e139304cdbd) increased the rewards for [IQ stakers](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stake) and early contributors to [IQ.wiki](https://iq.wiki/) over the next 12 months. The model provides higher initial emissions to incentivize early adopters and gradually lowers emissions to ensure long-term sustainability.

BrainDAO launched a brand new [IQ Dashboard](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard) which includes a wide range of new functionality and information for the IQ token, such as staking, bridging, voting on governance proposals, stats, where to get IQ tokens, the NFT raffles, as well as the assets held by the [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury). BrainDAO also launched a new homepage, braindao.org where more information will be shared on the progress BrainDAO is making in building out the IQ ecosystem.

In November, [IQ.wiki Chief Brain Navin Vethanayagam was interviewed by Liam 'Akiba' Wright of CryptoSlate](https://cryptoslate.com/videos/can-decentralized-site-iq-wiki-offer-a-better-knowledge-source-for-web3-than-wikipedia-slatecast-30/). They talked about the launch of IQ.wiki and our plan to build the leading crypto knowledge base with the $IQ token.

### December:

In December, [Staked Queen](https://twitter.com/stakedqueen), a renowned DeFi twitter influencer wrote a [thread highlighting the growth of IQ’s ecosystem](https://twitter.com/stakedqueen/status/1598996287206326272).

[Zapper.fi](https://zapper.fi/apps/iq?network=ethereum), a leading dashboard for keeping track of hundreds of DeFi portfolios, including assets, debts, liquidity pools, staking, and yield farming activities integrated the HiIQ staking system.

[StakeDAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stake-dao), one of the leading proof-of-Stake infrastructure providers and validator that allows users to stake crypto and earn rewards on Ethereum [listed IQ](https://twitter.com/IQWIKI/status/1600550657693712384). veFXS stakers can earn $IQ bribes by voting to incentivize [FRAX/IQ liquidity on Fraxswap](https://app.frax.finance/staking/fraxswap-v2-frax-iq).

This is just the beginning, we have a lot more planned. 2023 will be the year of the IQ token!

## BrainDAO introduces the largest-ever update to the IQ token

After the launch of the all-new IQ.wiki platform, [BrainDAO](https://braindao.org/) has introduced the largest-ever update to the IQ token with the launch of [BrainDAO.org](https://braindao.org/) and the brand-new [BrainDAO IQ Dashboard](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard).

The IQ token’s new halvening tokenomics model increases the rewards for IQ stakers and early contributors to IQ.wiki over the next 12 months. The model provides higher initial emissions to incentivize early adopters and gradually lowers emissions to ensure long-term sustainability. The IQ stakers who collectively make up BrainDAO voted in favor of the new model with the [IQIP-14: New IQ Tokenomics for the New IQ.wiki Platform](https://snapshot.everipedia.com/#/proposal/0x0b94293b4e55339b5fb0cacb2fab54590656913171eef4cb0ad17e139304cdbd) proposal passing with an overwhelming majority of votes. In addition to providing greater rewards to early adopters, the new model makes the IQ token more sustainable. Every year IQ emissions will halve, sustainably decreasing emissions over time until they dip below 1 IQ minted per month in August of 2050 ensuring that the IQ token’s maximum supply cap of 21 billion tokens is never breached.

The brand new [IQ Dashboard](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard) includes a wide range of new functionality and information for the IQ token, such as [staking](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stake), [bridging](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/bridge), [voting on governance proposals](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/voting), [stats](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/stats), [where to get IQ tokens](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/swap), the [NFT raffles](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/raffles), as well as the assets held by the [BrainDAO treasury](https://iq.braindao.org/dashboard/treasury). BrainDAO now also has a new homepage, [braindao.org](https://braindao.org/) where more information will be shared on the progress BrainDAO is making in building out the IQ ecosystem.

With the revamp of BrainDAO, new IQ token infrastructure, new tokenomics, and the launch of IQ.wiki, the IQ ecosystem is stronger than ever and ready for a new era of growth and development with a lot more exciting updates in the pipeline to be revealed soon.

The Ethereum Merge is here and the [BrainDAO treasury](https://etherscan.io/address/0x56398b89d53e8731bca8c1b06886cfb14bd6b654) now has over $2 million in wrapped ethereum and over $5 million in total assets. The IQ token is backed by the BrainDAO treasury and the treasury is fully governed by IQ token stakers. BrainDAO holds a diversified portfolio of IQ tokens, ethereum, stablecoins, blue chip NFTs, and other assets.

Back in May, BrainDAO decided to acquire a [Bored Ape](https://opensea.io/collection/boredapeyachtclub) as its first NFT acquisition since the Bored Ape Yacht Club is [Yuga Labs](https://twitter.com/yugalabs) premier NFT collection and is poised to grow in value with apes forming a core part of Yuga’s Otherside metaverse. [The Otherside](https://twitter.com/OthersideMeta) metaverse is aligned with BrainDAO’s vision of bridging the real world and the metaverse.

BrainDAO acquired [BAYC #9665](https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d/9665) precisely because of its Pink fur trait which represents the brain, the center of all knowledge. The growth of BrainDAO comes at the perfect time as the launch of a new fully Web3 site for the Everipedia Encyclopedia nears. The new site will run on Ethereum L2 and have several cutting-edge integrations. The waitlist for our public beta is just around the corner. Stay tuned!

## BrainApe is up for Licensing on Feature

BrainApe, the Bored Ape who leads BrainDAO and the IQ token, is now up for licensing on [feature.io](https://feature.io/licensing/bayc?id=9665), a leading Web3 studio and licensing platform that has worked with Coinbase, Netflix, and more. BrainApe could soon earn licensing fees for BrainDAO by becoming the star of the next major film franchise, videogame, TV series, clothing brand, or advertising campaign. This would also bring massive exposure to Everipedia and the IQ token.

“We’re incredibly excited to provide BrainDAO with the opportunity to leverage the licensing rights for their BAYC mascot, BrainApe. We are happy to support BrainDAO as we collectively build the metaverse of the future,” said Feature CEO Steven Ilous.

He currently serves as the leader of BrainDAO, a DAO created and controlled by the IQ community and dedicated to bridging the real world and the metaverse and funding the future of knowledge on-chain from art to finance to history.

Licensing out BrainApe is just the first step in monetizing the intellectual property held by BrainDAO. The IP could also be used to create NFT derivatives and in many other ways to create value for IQ stakers. You may also see this brilliant Bored Ape leading the way for the upcoming new Everipedia site soon.
