IQ GPT is an AI-powered assistant for blockchain knowledge developed by IQ.wiki, the largest blockchain encyclopedia. IQ GPT focuses on providing real-time and contextually relevant information within the blockchain domain.^[5][6] The platform is a part of the IQ.wiki ecosystem, featuring IQ.social, IQ Code, and IQ.wiki.^[14]

On October 12, 2023, the BrainDAO team introduced IQ GPT chat functionalities. The AI assistant was enhanced with the ability to conduct conversations, allowing for interactive dialogues with users, including asking follow-up questions. A new chat history feature was also added, enabling users to organize their interactions by creating distinct categories such as trading and researching. Frax Finance and Orbs are two cryptocurrency projects that have integrated the IQ GPT chatbot. ^{[9] [16] [17]}

In late 2023, the BrainDAO team introduced the IQ GPT Chat, designed to support Telegram and Discord communities involved in cryptocurrency, DeFi, NFTs, and related topics. According to IQ v3, released on November 1, 2023, the team's vision is to build a version of IQ GPT Chat for dapps and websites like decentralized exchanges, DeFi applications, cryptocurrency projects, NFT projects, data platforms, and more.^[14][15]

Overview

IQ GPT was launched in 2023 by IQ.wiki (formerly known as Everipedia) to help users access real-time and reliable crypto information from a wide range of sources. It caters to various use cases, including learning, development, and trading activities. IQ GPT streamlines research processes, filters out irrelevant data, and offers contextually specific content for users seeking accurate and up-to-date information in the blockchain domain. ^[4][6]

In an interview with CoinDesk, IQ.wiki Chief Brain Navin Vethanayagam explained the concept behind IQ GPT:

"Reading through a 1,000 word encyclopedia entry to answer a question is difficult and time consuming for users, and the GPT-4 search engine solves that as users can simply ask a question," said Navin Vethanayagam, Chief Brain of IQ.wiki. "At the same time, by making information search easier, the search engine, called IQ GPT, helps fight misinformation and makes onboarding easier for new traders," he added.

IQ GPT "integrates a crypto domain-specific model of OpenAI’s GPT-4" and has been trained on data from information platform CoinGecko, The Associated Press, Korean crypto news outlet CoinNess, Hong Kong government's InvestHK, decentralized finance (DeFi) content provider Flywheel DeFi, and IQ.wiki's repository of encyclopedia entries. It also has ongoing access to these sources.

The search engine includes the original source so that users are able to discern misinformation, Vethanayagam noted. ^[4]

In 2023, IQ GPT integrated contents and data sets from platforms such as IQ.wiki's extensive database, DeFiLlama, Frax Docs, Binance Academy, DeFi Protocol Documentations, The Associated Press News, CoinGecko, Flywheel DeFi, BlockBeats, InvestHK and CoinNess.^[12]

IQ v3 outlines the team's objective of developing a version of IQ GPT Chat that can be integrated into various platforms such as decentralized exchanges, DeFi applications, cryptocurrency projects, NFT projects, and data platforms, among others.^[13][14]

IQ GPT for Traders

For traders, IQ GPT is able to assist with queries related to arbitrage, technical analysis, and historical data analysis, and provide insight into new tokens and trading volumes. DeFi Enthusiasts are able to maximize their yield farming endeavors with IQ GPT by optimizing their strategies through the queries they input into IQ GPT. Users are able to receive answers on where to stake and claim rewards based on gas prices, and metrics on existing or new pools. For those diving deep into the knowledge of blockchain and cryptocurrency, IQ GPT offers optimized analysis and information on blockchain. With a simple query, anyone is able to get quick, concise, and reliable answers to queries about founders, projects, tokens, exchanges, and anything blockchain-related.^[10][14]

IQ GPT for Researchers

IQ GPT is a tool for researchers focusing on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. It assists in exploring complex topics, creating educational content, and understanding regulatory changes in these fields. Additionally, IQ GPT can assist in data analysis, extracting and evaluating cryptocurrency metrics like trading volumes and market capitalizations.^[11][14]

Tech

HiIQ Subscription

IQ GPT initially launched with an approach to onboarding users through a waitlist. However, IQ token stakers (HiIQ holders) were given early access and could bypass the waitlist by staking enough IQ to maintain a minimum of 100,000 HiIQ balance. ^[5]

Chat Features

In October 2023, IQ GPT added chat features. According to the team, the AI assistant was equipped with conversational capabilities, enabling it to engage in interactive dialogues with the user, including the capacity to pose subsequent inquiries. It also gained a chat history function that allows users to categorize their interactions, such as creating separate sections for trading and researching.
