George Town, Cayman Islands, December 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IQdecentralized AI/blockchain technology developer, today announced its Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP). ATP allows users to create tokenized agents that can operate autonomously.
IQ’s ATP features agents that are sovereign blockchain entities, capable of true autonomy. Unlike previous models, ATP agents operate independently, own assets, perform on-chain actions, and continually improve their capabilities through tokenized ecosystems.
The market for AI agent tokens has exploded in recent months, reaching a total market capitalization of $8 billion in December. However, the first phase of AI agent tokens has yet to fully realize their potential for independent operation, as they primarily serve as tools or extensions rather than standalone entities. Although they demonstrate innovation in tokenization and decentralized ecosystems, these agents often remain dependent on centralized oversight or narrowly defined functions.
This allows ATP to close the significant gap in DeFi participation despite a significant number of cryptocurrency holders worldwide. With over 600 million cryptocurrency holders, only 7 million are currently engaged in DeFi activities. By enabling seamless conversational interactions, ATP streamlines complex blockchain processes, allowing users to perform sophisticated DeFi tasks with simple prompts. For example, tasks that once required five or more steps across multiple platforms can now be accomplished in a single prompt thanks to these new AI agents that can be launched on ATP. Users can co-own these agents by trading their tokens through the platform and unlock additional features as the token value increases.
“DeFi has the potential to reshape financial systems on a global scale, but its complexity limits its mass adoption,” said Navin Vethanayagam, Chief Brain of IQ. “With ATP, we are building a platform where builders can create autonomous agents that can simplify DeFi with simple conversational user interfaces. Unlike other agent tokenization platforms that have excelled in entertainment, ATP focuses on enabling users to create and manage transformative DeFi AI autonomous solutions.
ATP represents a significant advancement in blockchain accessibility by integrating conversational AI with blockchain sovereignty and advanced functionality. The platform’s super-agent capabilities enable analysis of vast data points across assets, channels and yield strategies, providing personalized solutions to users with varying levels of expertise. These agents can autonomously own assets and perform actions on-chain, opening new avenues of innovation in decentralized ecosystems.
Platform features and applications:
- Agent deployment: ATP enables the transformation of AI models into autonomous agents for various applications, ranging from DeFi operations to content creation.
- Tokenization and growth: Users can tokenize agents to create networks of co-owners who support development and share success. Agents can manage a portion of their tokens and interact with DeFi autonomously.
- Decentralized sovereignty: ATP agents operate independently, without control from a single entity, ensuring lasting resilience and driving innovation across the blockchain.
Powered by IQ tokens, ATP incorporates governance participation and deflationary mechanisms to reduce token supply and reward stakeholders, creating more ecosystem-wide value.
THE IQ token powers ATP, by managing its governance, liquidity, utility and growth:
- Governance: IQ token holders, through their stake in hiIQ, participate in governance decisions that shape the development of ATP and BrainDAO.
- Deflationary design: Platform fees paid in IQ are partially burned to reduce supply, while the rest is distributed as staking rewards.
- Liquidity Matching: Every agent launched on ATP partners with the IQ token, connecting all agents to the IQ token ecosystem and driving demand.
IQ shows the potential of ATP by transforming its flagship AI products into tokenized agents.
- GPT IQ: Currently serving over 2 million users in over 100 crypto communities, IQ GPT has established itself as a leading AI for blockchain knowledge through IQGPT.com. In 2025, IQ GPT will be relaunched as a tokenized agent with its own independent token. This transformation introduces tokenomics that enable direct community governance, allowing users to influence the direction of the agent and share in its success.
- Sophie: Developed by BrainDAO, Sophia is an AI editor designed to IQ.wikithe largest blockchain encyclopedia. Integrated with ATP, Sophia will revolutionize content creation by introducing token incentives, rewarding contributors for curating and expanding blockchain knowledge while fostering collaboration within the community.
This interconnected model ensures that ATP growth directly benefits IQ token holders while fostering a thriving ecosystem.
The IQ ATP is initially launched on the Fraxtal blockchain. The Fraxtal team is developing a new AIVM consensus system with proof of inference in exclusive collaboration with IQ to make any AI agent deployed on the blockchain fully autonomous and sovereign without any party controlling the agent, a world first . This AIVM technology will initially only be available for AI agents launched on ATP.
“Integrating IQ’s ATP into the Frax ecosystem instantly makes DeFi more intuitive, while opening it up to millions of additional users,” said Sam Kazemian, founder and CEO of Frax. “We are closing the gap between complexity and accessibility, setting the stage for onboarding the next billion users to crypto.”
