The March IQ AI Report is here - also available as a podcast! Tune in to hear updates on ecosystem news and partnerships. IQ AI became a founding member of Open Agents Alliance, which also includes NEAR AI and Coinbase Onramp & AgentKit, the IQ team was interviewed by Bankless, IQ GPT was renamed to AIDEN and got a new face, IQ Dashboard got an existing design update, and more.
IQ AI Joins Open Agents Alliance with NEAR AI
IQ AI became one of the founding members of the Open Agents Alliance alongside leaders in AI x Crypto including NEAR AI, Frax Finance, Coinbase Onramp & AgentKit, and more. As stated by Illia Polosukhin on his X thread, the Open Agent Alliance is a shared commitment to make the future of AI agents and assistants open, user-owned, and globally available to all while fairly rewarding its builders. Initial members are all contributing toward a single User-Owned tech stack: hardware, confidential compute, inference, agent frameworks, onramps, payment rails, specialized agents and agent tokenization, and most importantly, distribution to users.
IQ AI’s ATP leverages NEAR protocol, the leading blockchain for AI and Web3, integrating its AI agent development stack natively into ATP’s Brain framework.
IQ on Bankless
In an interview with David Hoffman on Bankless, IQ AI and Frax Finance team members talked about the future of AI agents and how we built the Agent Tokenization Platform to support the next gen of agents with DeFi utility. The discussion also covered frameworks, plugins, and platforms we are building around DeFAI. IQ CTO César Rodríguez explained why our Brain framework is the best for building DeFAI agents, IQ Chief Brain Navin Vethanayagam covered the vision behind IQ and Andy Cho covered the latest updates from Frax.
IQ GPT is Now AIDEN and Gets a New Face
In a recent community vote, capturing 61% of votes, "AIDEN" was chosen as the new name for IQ GPT, our first agent trained on IQ.wiki and used by more than 100 crypto communities and serving more than 2 million users across Telegram and Discord. IQ stakers not only gave it a fresh identity but were also tasked with deciding what AIDEN's face would look like.
We invited the community to submit their AI-generated images of AIDEN, with the prize of 10,000 AIDEN tokens for the winning design. The winning face for the AIDEN was submitted by @4Years1219, a long-time supporter and staker of IQ. The design won with 55% of the total 3 billion HiIQ voted.
Previously governed by IQ holders, AIDEN’s new token will govern the agent directly one 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.
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: DK the AI DeFi Trader & IK the Liquid IQ AI Rapper
March marked a major milestone in the growth of the IQ ATP’s ecosystem with the deployment of several next-generation AI Agents, including IK the Liquid IQ AI Rapper, and DK the AI DeFi Trader by StarSeeds Protocol. ATP is a novel infrastructure layer that enables the creation of tokenized AI Agents with fully programmable on-chain utility.
The first Agent by StarSeeds protocol to go live was DK the AI DeFi Trader, a fully autonomous DeFi strategist designed to manage arbitrage, liquidity provision, and collateralized lending at scale. DK’s smart contract architecture leverages omnichain arbitrage, StartSeed protocol’s STARV5 fee exemption licenses, and a custom-built network of liquidity pools to generate and compound value into its native token, DKDEFI. DK also actively participates in the Fraxtal ecosystem, accumulating over 140,000 FXTL points in March alone.
Shortly after, IK the Liquid IQ AI Rapper was launched. IK transforms IQ staking rewards into a liquid, yield-bearing token, IQYIELD. This token is distributed to holders in proportion to their stake and plays a central role in a regenerative DeFi loop. A portion of all IQYIELD rewards held by Agent contracts—like IK’s—are used to automatically buy and burn IK’s token, creating a deflationary dynamic that increases token scarcity over time.
Together, DK and IK demonstrate the spectrum of what’s possible on ATP. Use IQ AI's Agent Tokenization Platform to launch your own tokenized agent within 60 seconds.
IQ Dashboard Upgrade
In March, the IQ Dashboard got an exciting upgrade. Our sleek, user-friendly design enhances user experience, making data access and navigation smoother than ever. Dive into the upgraded interface and see how it transforms your interaction with data.
While exploring the new dashboard, don't miss out on the opportunity to stake IQ with HiIQ, where the APR is over 75% as of writing. Stakers not only earn token rewards but also play a vital role in governing the IQ AI’s Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). The HiIQ system is built on the same robust code as the veCRV and veFXS systems, ensuring both security and efficiency. Learn more about staking here.
Each agent on ATP operates with an IQ pair, and all trading fees are paid in IQ. In addition to staking, IQ can be acquired on platforms like Binance and Upbit, or through DEXes such as Fraxswap and Curve. With BrainDAO′s 28 million treasury ready to invest in the next generation of agents, the potential for growth is immense. The community has already approved a $10 million fund to supercharge the growth of IQ AI.
lQ AI joins Lagrange's DeepProve Army
IQ AI joined the Lagrange’s DeepProve Army, a community of projects utilizing DeepProve, a groundbreaking zkML library that makes verifiable AI inferences fast and scalable. lQ AI will leverage Lagrange's cutting edge ZKML tech to verify voting processes within IQ AI's Agent Tokenization Platform, to ensure only authorized stakeholders participate and outcomes are accurately recorded without compromising vote privacy.
Partnerships
AIDEN Integrations
AIDEN has been integrated into over 200 protocols' Telegram and Discord groups, like Frax Finance, which customized the bot with their specific documentation. In March, AIDEN was integrated by projects including Xeleb, BOXCAT, AIRAS, AI Agentcy, KaratDAO, and MergePals. These integrations show the growing adoption of AIDEN and its versatility across various platforms.
IQ.wiki
In March, IQ.wiki saw the onboarding of several innovative projects, enriching the platform's ecosystem. These new additions include EVA AI, a web3 platform for advanced AI security; Synthelix, an advanced AI-driven DePIN ecosystem; Kaanch Network, a blockchain platform that aims to provide speed, scalability, and security; and UXLINK, a web3 social platform and infrastructure.
