We've just announced IQ AI.
Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) is a DeFAI (Decentralized Finance + AI) platform launched by BrainDAO. It allows developers to launch tokenized agents that use artificial intelligence to perform DeFi tasks, control their 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 without human intervention. ATP launched on Fraxtal and uses IQ as a governance token [1] [2] [3].
Each AI agent launched on ATP has its own token, creating a tradable on-chain asset that represents its capabilities, governance, and value. The IQ tokenis 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 [1] [2].
Key features of ATP include:
IQ AI continued to expand the Brain framework in April 2025 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. The framework is also ElizaOS compatible, allowing developers to use any of their plugins as well [2].
On-chain Utility Plugins include:
DeFi Plugins include:
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 [2].
ATP Points incentivize engagement with the Agent Tokenization Platform. ATP Points will either convert to IQ tokens, which govern ATP and are used for fees and liquidity pairs, or into ATP tokens with platform utility. IQ stakers will vote on the final decision one year after launch [1] [2].
IQ is also showcasing the potential of the ATP by transforming its existing AI products into tokenized agents:
IQ AI announced a new partnership with OpenLedger, bringing together IQ AI’s Brain framework with OpenLedger’s specialized AI models. This collaboration aims to power scenario-specific agent workflows across Web3, enhancing the precision, adaptability, and transparency of tokenized agents deployed through the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) [2].
IQ AI partnered with Proton Terminal to integrate the Brain framework with Proton Terminal's AI models. Proton Terminal is launching on ATP, enabling AI agents to perform tasks like swapping, bridging, launching tokens, researching, and executing with AI [4].
BrainDAO, the entity governing IQ AI, joined the Strategic ETH Reserve (SER), a public dashboard showcasing institutions, DAOs, and organizations that have pledged to hold ETH as a reserve asset. BrainDAO joined SER to embrace transparency and demonstrate long-term conviction in the Ethereum ecosystem, adding 3,300 ETH to the reserve [5].
