The April IQ AI Report is here - also available as a podcast! Tune in to hear updates on ecosystem news and partnerships. IQ AI continued to expand the Brain framework with the addition of the ABI plugin, new agents were launched on IQ AI’s ATP, AIDEN is getting tokenized soon, and more.
Growth
In April, IQ AI and the Agent Tokenization Platform continued to grow. The IQ token saw a trading volume of over $250 million on April 17th, according to CoinMarketCap data. IQ was also the #1 gainer on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, going up by 54% over 24h.
This remarkable growth has strengthened the BrainDAO treasury, which now holds over $30 million in total assets as of writing. The growth follows the rising adoption of IQ AI’s Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP), a next-generation AI platform designed to create, deploy, and tokenize AI agents.
Brain Framework
IQ AI continued to expand the Brain framework with modular plugins to support building agents capable of trading, lending, borrowing, and more. Designed for flexibility and on-chain composability, the Brain framework allows developers to customize AI agents by connecting them to specialized functions, such as DeFi operations, token swaps, or other blockchain interactions.
On-chain Utility Plugins include:
-
ABI: Interact with any EVM-compatible smart contract by generating actions from the contract’s Application Binary Interface (ABI).
-
NEAR: Integration with the NEAR Protocol blockchain, enabling smart contract interactions, transaction handling, and event listening capabilities directly from your agent.
-
Heartbeat: Schedule automated posts or messages across platforms.
-
Sequencer: Chain multiple actions from one query with memory.
-
MCP: Connect agents to external MCP servers.
-
Wallet: Access wallet data and transaction history across chains.
DeFi Plugins include:
-
FraxLend: Enable lending/borrowing on Fraxtal.
-
Odos: Perform optimized token swaps.
-
ATP: Interact with IQ's Agent Tokenization Platform.
-
BAMM: Access Frax BAMM lending and borrowing pools.
Additionally, the ElizaOS Plugin library offers a growing collection of community-built tools, covering interfaces, data storage, and integrations, fully compatible with Brain Framework agents.
Whether you're launching a research or content editor agent like SOPHIA or a trading agent like DK, the Brain framework is the foundation behind IQ's rapidly expanding ecosystem of tokenized AI agents.
AIDEN Gets Tokenized Soon — Join the $AIDEN Whitelist
AIDEN is becoming fully tokenized — and $AIDEN is coming. Previously governed by IQ holders, AIDEN’s new token will govern the agent directly once the agent becomes tokenized. This gives its community full control over its future, development, and utility. This follows the path of SOPHIA, the AI Editor of IQ.wiki, and the first ATP agent to "come alive." With 7M IQ in bonded liquidity, Sophia's BAMM pools are already live, and AIDEN is next. Be the first to hear when $AIDEN launches — sign up now.
To launch your own agent like AIDEN or something completely different, check out the IQ AI Agent Tokenization Platform, which lets you do it in just 60 seconds.
Launched on ATP: Detective Cipher & Luna the Bitcoin Witch
April marked a major milestone in the growth of the IQ ATP’s ecosystem with the deployment of several next-generation AI Agents, including Detective Cipher and Luna the Bitcoin Witch. ATP is a novel infrastructure layer that enables the creation of tokenized AI Agents with fully programmable on-chain utility.
Detective Cipher is another agent launched by the StarSeeds Protocol to go live on IQ’s ATP. It is an AI agent designed to operate within DeFi, focusing on tracking transactions, uncovering scams, and ensuring privacy. Alongside Cipher are two other agents launched by StarSeeds: DK the DeFi Trader, who capitalizes on price gaps between chains, and IK the Liquid IQ AI Rapper, who uses staking rewards to contribute to NOIR’s buy-and-burn mechanism. Together, they form the Noir Brotherhood, working in the background to maintain the stability of NOIR.
Shortly after, Luna the Bitcoin Witch was launched. Luna is designed to accumulate WBTC through DeFi strategies like liquidity deployment, BAMM lending, and arbitrage on the Fraxtal network. Investors gain exposure to a BTC-backed token with automatic yield reinvestment, long-term liquidity locking, and deflationary mechanics via buy-and-burn systems, positioning BTCWitch as a sustainable, DeFi-native vehicle for BTC accumulation.
Detective Cipher and Luna the Bitcoin Witch highlight the diverse possibilities within the IQ ATP ecosystem, paving the way for more innovative tokenized agents to come.
New IQ AI Guides
In April, the IQ AI team released several new guides to help users better understand the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). The updated guides now cover how to launch your own agent, purchase agent tokens, and navigate the agent graduation process. To make things even easier, we added the Agent Generator — a one-click tool that creates your ideal AI Agent without the need for manual setup. Launch a tokenized agent in just 60 seconds — and start testing it in under 30.
Partnerships
AIDEN Integrations
AIDEN has been integrated into over 100 protocols' Telegram and Discord groups, like Frax Finance, which customized the bot with their specific documentation. In April, AIDEN was integrated by projects including DDAI, DeCenter AI, DeTrip, Lunos DAO, and DonutSwap. These integrations show the growing adoption of AIDEN and its versatility across various platforms.
IQ.wiki
In April, IQ.wiki saw the onboarding of several innovative projects, enriching the platform's ecosystem. These new additions include ZKCrypt AI, the AI firewall; ShillGuard, a DeFi ecosystem offering essential crypto trends, real-time analysis, and news; and PumpSpace, the Avalanche memecoin launchpad platform and memecoin boosting DEX.
