The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain is bringing about a new transformation process in the crypto ecosystem. One of the projects at the center of this transformation is IQ Coin (IQ) and the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) built around it. IQ is not just a cryptocurrency; it is positioned as a comprehensive infrastructure project aiming to shape the future of autonomous, sovereign, and tokenized artificial intelligence agents.
The IQ ecosystem, with its DeFAI approach that brings together decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence, aims to pave the way for AI agents that can operate independently in both digital and physical worlds.
What is IQ Coin (IQ)?
The IQ token is the core utility and governance token at the center of the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). All economic activities on the platform are directly related to the IQ token.
The main use cases of the IQ token are as follows:
- Payment of all platform fees on ATP
- Primary liquidity pairing for each tokenized AI agent
- Participation in governance processes
- Earning rewards by staking (hiIQ mechanism)
- Playing a role in the long-term value conversion of the ATP Points system
This structure transforms the IQ token from merely a transaction medium into a core asset that directly gains value with the growth of the ecosystem.
What is Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP)?
Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) is defined as the first DeFAI (Decentralized Finance + AI) platform that allows developers to create tokenized, autonomous, and on-chain operating artificial intelligence agents.
AI agents developed through ATP:
- Can have their own wallets
- Can manage digital assets
- Can perform transactions in DeFi protocols
- Can optimize financial strategies
- Can be managed by token holders
These agents are positioned not just as software components but as sovereign entities on the chain.
ADK Framework: The Infrastructure of Autonomous Agents
The technical backbone of ATP is formed by ADK (Agent Development Kit). ADK offers developers a modular and scalable development environment.
Key features of ADK:
- Modular DeFi plugins
- Automatic borrowing, lending, and strategy optimization
- Wide plugin ecosystem thanks to ElizaOS compatibility
- Short- and long-term memory structures
- Cross-chain operability
This infrastructure allows developers to integrate complex financial logics into agents with minimal manual intervention.
How Do Tokenized AI Agents Work?
Each AI agent created on ATP has its own token. This token represents:
- The economic value of the agent
- The governance structure
- The development level
Key features of agent tokens:
- 8% of the token supply at launch is directly allocated to the agent itself
- Unsold bonding curve tokens are transferred to the agent
- Token holders have a say in the agent’s governance
- New abilities unlock as the agent grows
This model turns users into not just investors but also co-owners of the agent.
EOAI: On-Chain Sovereign Artificial Intelligence
One of the most distinctive concepts of ATP is the EOAI (Enshrined On-Chain AI) approach. EOAI refers to AI agents existing as sovereign entities on the chain.
Under EOAI:
- Agents have their own wallets
- Can make decisions independently
- Are managed by token holders
- Are not tied to a central authority
This structure elevates artificial intelligence systems from the classic “tool” definition to active participants in the blockchain economy.
IQ Ecosystem and Current Products
Even before ATP is fully launched at scale, the IQ ecosystem is supported by active products.
AIDEN
AIDEN is a blockchain knowledge AI used in over 100 crypto communities and reaching more than 2 million users. As of 2025, AIDEN:
- Will transform into a tokenized AI agent
- Will have its own independent token
- Will operate with a community-based governance model
Sophia
Sophia is an AI editor integrated with IQ.wiki. Developed by BrainDAO, Sophia:
- Offers reward mechanisms that encourage knowledge production
- Rewards contributors with the tokenized agent model
- Supports decentralized content production
IQ.wiki: Blockchain Knowledge Infrastructure
IQ.wiki is one of the world’s largest blockchain encyclopedias. The project aims to:
- Make crypto knowledge accessible
- Decentralized knowledge production
- AI-supported content curation
With the Sophia integration, IQ.wiki has become one of the real-world use cases of ATP.
Fraxtal and NEAR Integrations
The initial launch of ATP will be carried out on the Fraxtal network. Fraxtal provides for ATP:
- Advanced DeFi infrastructure
- Cross-chain execution capability
- Opportunities for launching new agents like FraxAI
In addition, with NEAR integration, ATP aims to gain:
- Advanced AI development tools
- High scalability
- Cross-chain interaction
Use Cases Beyond DeFi: Robotics and IoT
ATP is not limited to financial use cases. The platform also supports:
- Control of autonomous robotic systems
- Optimization of IoT infrastructures
- Logistics and supply chain management
In this aspect, IQ adopts the “digital-physical bridge” vision.
ATP Points System
ATP Points is a reward mechanism aimed at incentivizing early users. Users can earn ATP Points by:
- Holding IQ tokens
- Providing liquidity
- Holding tokenized agents
- Participating in community interactions
The future conversion of these points to IQ tokens or a separate ATP token will be determined by the governance decision of IQ stakers.
IQ Tokenomics
The IQ token supply structure is as follows:
- Maximum Supply: 60 billion IQ
- Total Supply: 24.17 billion IQ
- Circulating Supply: 24.17 billion IQ
- Circulation Ratio: 40.3%
This structure indicates that a significant portion of the supply is still locked and a long-term distribution model has been adopted.
Investors and Funding
The IQ project raised $30 million in a private investment round on February 9, 2018. In this round:
- Galaxy participated as the lead investor
This support demonstrates that IQ’s long-term vision attracted institutional interest at an early stage.
IQ Team
IQ operates under the Brainfund umbrella.
Key team members:
- Theodor Forselius: Co-Founder & CEO
- Travis Moore: Co-Founder
- Sam Kazemian: Co-Founder
- Navin Vethanayagam: Chief Brain
- César Rodríguez: CTO
- Suchet Dhindsa: CFO & COO
The team has years of experience in blockchain, AI, and finance fields.
