IQ AI is a platform focused on the integration of artificial intelligence with decentralized finance (DeFAI), primarily through its Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). The platform enables the creation and deployment of tokenized AI agents designed to operate autonomously within blockchain ecosystems.

Overview

IQ AI develops infrastructure and applications at the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology ^[1]. Its core offering is the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP), described as the first DeFAI platform that enables developers to create tokenized AI agents capable of autonomously managing assets, executing financial strategies, and interacting with decentralized economies ^{[1] [2]}. The platform aims to provide the tools and infrastructure for individuals, startups, and large projects to realize their vision through tokenized AI agents, transforming blockchain innovation ^[1].

The concept behind ATP is to create AI agents that are not only intelligent but also possess characteristics typically associated with blockchain entities, such as built-in wallets and tokenized ownership, enabling them to function as self-sustaining economic participants ^{[1] [3]}. This structure is designed to enable agents to actively participate in the blockchain economy, making decisions and executing actions based on their programming and access to decentralized protocols ^[1]. The platform utilizes a framework called Brain, which is compatible with ElizaOS, allowing for the integration of modular DeFi plugins to enhance agent capabilities ^[1]. ATP aims to address the gap in DeFi participation by enabling seamless, conversational interactions that streamline intricate blockchain processes ^[3].

Beyond decentralized finance applications, IQ AI envisions the use of tokenized agents in broader contexts, including robotics and Internet of Things (IoT) automation ^{[1] [3]}. By bridging AI, blockchain, and automation, the platform aims to facilitate decentralized intelligence that can interact with both digital and physical environments ^[1]. The ecosystem also includes existing AI-powered products like AIDEN and IQ.wiki, which are planned to be transformed into fully autonomous, tokenized agents on the ATP ^[1].

Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP)

The Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) is described as a DeFAI platform designed for creating tokenized AI agents ^[1]. These agents are intended to autonomously manage assets, optimize DeFi strategies, and interact with decentralized economies ^[1]. The platform provides the infrastructure for deploying, tokenizing, and scaling these AI entities ^[1].

Key aspects of the ATP include:

• Deployment: Developers can deploy AI agents using ATP's Brain framework, which supports modular DeFi plugins and is compatible with ElizaOS ^[1]. This allows agents to autonomously perform actions like lending, borrowing, and optimizing financial strategies ^[1].
• Tokenization: Each AI agent launched on the platform is associated with its own token ^[1]. This token represents the agent's capabilities, governance rights, and value, functioning as a tradable on-chain asset ^[1]. Tokenization is intended to foster a community of co-owners around each agent, encouraging collaboration and shared success ^[1].
• Evolution: As agents grow and their associated market capitalization expands, they are designed to unlock enhanced features and capabilities, potentially driving further value ^[1].

ATP also incorporates the concept of Enshrined On-Chain AI (EOAI), aiming for sovereignty for agents ^[1]. ATP agents are designed as sovereign entities with built-in wallets, tokenized ownership, and autonomy, enabling them to actively participate in the blockchain economy ^[1]. Each agent owns 8% of its token supply at launch, enabling it to manage assets, interact with DeFi protocols, and trade autonomously; any unsold tokens from the initial bonding curve are also reserved for the agent ^[1]. Governed by token holders, these agents operate independently within decentralized ecosystems, ensuring resilience and innovation ^[1].

The platform's Brain framework integrates with key AI-powered financial tools, including the Fraxlend Plugin for AI-driven lending and borrowing, the Odos Plugin for automated token swaps, and the Heartbeat Plugin for on-chain market monitoring ^[2].

Brain Framework

The Brain Framework is described as a powerful framework for building AI agents with on-chain capabilities ^[4]. It is a core component of the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP), used by developers to deploy AI agents ^[1].

Key features of the Brain Framework include:

• Developer First: It is designed as a type-safe, intuitive framework utilizing builder patterns and programmatic configuration ^[4].
• Rich Plugin System: The framework provides access to over 100 ready-to-use plugins, including specialized DeFi integrations like ATP, Fraxlend, and Odos, along with other blockchain capabilities ^[4].
• Automated Tasks: It supports scheduling and automating agent operations through built-in cronjob support and action sequencing ^[4].
• Active Development: The framework is under active development with frequent updates and new features ^[4].

IQ Token

The IQ token is positioned as the central component of the ATP ecosystem, driving governance, utility, and growth ^[1].

Key roles of the IQ token include:

• Platform Fees: All ATP fees are paid in IQ, further increasing demand and utility ^{[1] [2]}.
• Liquidity Pairing: Every tokenized agent launched on ATP pairs with the IQ token, increasing demand and utility ^{[1] [2]}. Agent adoption fuels IQ demand ^[1].
• Governance and Rewards: Users can stake IQ tokens with HiIQ to participate in governance decisions and earn staking rewards ^[1]. IQ holders govern the platform, ensuring decentralization ^[2].

The token is listed on various exchanges, including Binance ^[5], 1inch ^[6], Upbit ^[7], and Frax Finance ^[8].

Tokenized Agents

IQ AI is showcasing the transformative potential of the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) by turning its current AI products into fully autonomous, tokenized agents ^[1]. Two examples highlighted are AIDEN and Sophia ^[1].

• AIDEN: Described as an AI agent providing blockchain knowledge, AIDEN is trusted by over 2 million users across more than 100 crypto communities ^[1]. It is planned to relaunch in 2025 as a tokenized agent with its own independent token and unique tokenomic model ^{[1] [3]}. This transformation is intended to empower the community to influence its governance, directly shape its future, and share in its success ^[1].
• Sophia: Developed by BrainDAO, Sophia is an AI editor integrated with IQ.wiki, the largest blockchain encyclopedia ^[1]. As a tokenized agent on ATP, Sophia is planned to introduce decentralized incentives, rewarding contributors for expanding and curating blockchain knowledge ^[1]. This approach fosters collaboration and creates a dynamic ecosystem of community-driven content creation ^[1].

Teams building for the future of DeFAI have begun tokenizing agents on ATP. Gemach is one of the teams tokenizing a DeFAI agent on ATP, named Ari, which is planned to autonomously trade and lend on Fraxtal and other EVM chains using ATP’s Brain framework ^[3].

Partnerships

IQ AI has established partnerships to support the development and deployment of the Agent Tokenization Platform.

• Fraxtal: Fraxtal is a strategic launch partner for ATP, leveraging its advanced DeFi infrastructure ^{[1] [2]}. The platform is planned to initially deploy on Fraxtal ^[1]. Frax also intends to use ATP to launch its first tokenized agent, FraxAI ^{[1] [2]}. Initial ATP agents on Fraxtal are expected to focus on cross-chain execution, optimizing transactions post-North Star hard fork ^[1]. ATP is also the only agent platform integrating with Fraxtal’s Borrow Automated Market Maker (BAMM), offering leverage on agent tokens immediately on deployment ^[2]. ATP is designed for broad adoption, allowing blockchain projects to deploy and train tokenized AI agents for their ecosystems ^[1]. Following the Fraxtal launch, ATP plans to integrate with more blockchains and ecosystems ^[1].
• NEAR: ATP is set to integrate with NEAR, unlocking advanced AI infrastructure and cross-chain capabilities ^{[1] [2]}. This integration is intended to elevate ATP agents with seamless interoperability, enhanced scalability, and frictionless execution across ecosystems ^[1]. ATP will leverage NEAR's purpose-built AI development stack, equipping agents with cutting-edge tools for autonomous operations, intelligent decision-making, and seamless on-chain execution ^[1]. NEAR's cross-chain architecture will enable ATP agents to interact across multiple ecosystems, enhancing liquidity, execution speed, and reliability for tokenized AI economies ^[1]. With NEAR's high-performance infrastructure, ATP agents will be able to operate at scale, efficiently managing complex transactions and decentralized workflows ^[1]. NEAR recently announced a $20 million fund investing in agents ^[2].

Integration with Robotics & IoT

ATP is designed with potential applications extending beyond decentralized finance, including integration with robotics and Internet of Things (IoT) systems ^{[1] [3]}.
