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

![](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.

**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.

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 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!
