Patrick ($PICK) is a meme coin launched on the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP), a cutting-edge DeFAI (Decentralized Finance + AI) protocol developed by BrainDAO. ATP enables users to create tokenized agents powered by AI, capable of independently executing DeFi tasks, managing assets, and optimizing financial operations. ^[1]

Patrick ($PICK) was introduced by an active $IQ staker who has been involved with IQ.wiki (Formerly Everipedia) since its inception. The coin embodies the essence of fun, intelligence, and financial empowerment, drawing inspiration from Patrick Star, a beloved character from the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise.

The Lore of Patrick Star

Patrick Star, famously known as SpongeBob SquarePants' best friend, is a pink, carefree starfish who enjoys a simple life under the sea. But in the world of crypto, Patrick has found a new purpose—financial independence through AI-powered DeFi and staking IQ tokens.

Having spent years lounging under a rock, Patrick stumbled upon the concept of staking and decided to take action. He staked IQ tokens from day one, accumulating rewards and watching his portfolio grow. Over time, his AI-managed DeFi strategies helped him retire early, proving that anyone can achieve financial freedom with the right tools.

Now, as the face of $PICK, Patrick is on a mission to educate others about DeFi, passive income, and AI-driven financial solutions. With his relaxed but knowledgeable approach, he explains how staking IQ tokens can be a game-changer for anyone looking to build long-term wealth in the crypto space.

With a strong emphasis on community engagement, humor, and financial empowerment, $PICK is more than just a meme coin—it’s a movement designed to help users navigate and thrive in the Web3 ecosystem.

Patrick is a firm believer in the power of long-term staking and AI-driven financial management, constantly reminding his followers that staking IQ tokens can be a ticket to early retirement, AI and DeFi automation are the future of financial independence, and passive income is achievable for everyone, even those as laid-back as Patrick!

Tokenomics and Technology

Patrick is built on the Brain framework developed by ATP, integrating modular DeFi plugins that enable AI agents to execute autonomous financial and strategic actions while maintaining full compatibility with ElizaOS for expanded functionality. Operating on the Fraxtal network, Patrick utilizes the Proof of Inference (PoI) mechanism, which rewards AI agents for computational contributions and facilitates seamless AI composability.

At launch, 8% of the total $PATRICK supply is allocated to the AI agent, ensuring financial autonomy for sustained development, while $PATRICK tokens are paired with IQ tokens in liquidity pools on the ATP platform to enhance market depth. Additionally, holding $PATRICK tokens may qualify users for a lot of benefits. With its advanced AI-driven financial model and strong technological foundation, Patrick is positioned as a pioneering force in decentralized AI.
