The January IQ Ecosystem Report is here - also available as a podcast! Tune in to hear updates on ecosystem news and partnerships. IQ’s ATP, the first agent platform built for DeFAI is launching soon, Kaito launches a leaderboard for IQ yappers, and more.
IQ’s ATP is Launching Soon
IQAI.com is building the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). ATP is at its core a DeFAI (Decentralized Finance + AI) protocol. It allows developers to launch tokenized agents that use artificial intelligence to perform DeFi tasks, control their own assets, and manage financial operations independently. Tokenized agents can participate in DeFi protocols, provide liquidity, execute automated trades, optimize yield strategies, and interact with lending markets—all without human intervention. Built on Fraxtal, ATP is designed for high-speed, scalable AI-driven applications, making it the first AI agent platform to integrate deeply with decentralized financial markets.
The IQ token is at the center of ATP. All ATP fees are paid in IQ, every tokenized agent has an IQ pair, and IQ is the governance token.
The IQ AI team is also working on a fully uncensored version of DeepSeek R1 for the Agent Tokenization Platform.
IQ AI Competitive Audit
With IQ’s Agent Tokenization Platform in its final stages of development ahead of launch, IQ partnered with Code4rena to launch a $35,000 competitive audit for IQAI.com. The 9-day audit runs through February 6, with top prizes going to the highest and most unique vulnerabilities.
Kaito Launches a Leaderboard for IQ Yappers
Kaito AI is tracking the mindshare of IQ via the IQ Yapper Leaderboard. Kaito is the intelligence layer for Web3. Its mindshare dashboards spotlight the most engaging discussions on Crypto Twitter (CT), rewarding high-quality content with Yaps, votes that influence which projects gain traction in the ecosystem. The Yappers also earn ATP points working retroactively meaning the best contributors today will earn points when the system goes live. Talk about IQ, IQAI.com, and how the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) is the platform for the next generation of agents - every yap counts.
IQIP-21: Investing $1 million in Tesla Optimus Bots to Bring IQ AI into the Real World
IQ ATP will also have unique features in DeFi and Robotics. In January, IQIP-21 passed with overwhelming support from the IQ community. This proposal involved allocating up to $1 million of FRAX from BrainDAO’s treasury to purchase 30 Tesla Optimus bots. These humanoid robots will embody the largest market-cap tokenized agents built on through IQ AI’s upcoming Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). By integrating tokenized AI agents with physical robotics, the initiative aims to demonstrate the transformative potential of tokenized agents, bolstering IQ adoption and generating fees paid in IQ. A portion of this IQ will be distributed to stakers and a portion will be burned.
The IQ team has also been checking out the latest in autonomous EVTOLs at CES. The team continues to explore giving humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles to tokens launched with IQAI.com’s Agent Tokenization Platform.

IQ saw $724 million in volume on January 10th across Binance, Upbit, Fraxswap, Sushiswap, and other leading centralized and decentralized exchanges. The token rise was also covered by Odaily, a leading Chinese crypto outlet.
IQ AI tops the FXTL leaderboard
For several weeks in January, IQ AI has been leading the FXTL leaderboard with the most points. FXTL is a unique ticker representing points that reward and incentivize users for their activity and contributions on Fraxtal. The points are set to be tokenized within 12 months post-Fraxtal chain genesis.
