Announcements

1 Billion IQ locked with HiIQ

In April, IQ holders locked up a record 1 billion IQ. HiIQ has grown exponentially within the past few months with the implementation of the new tokenomics further incentivizing early adopters with greater IQ incentives.

Back in November 2022, IQ announced the IQ token’s new halvening tokenomics model which triples emissions for HiIQ holders. This model provides higher initial emissions to incentivize early adopters and gradually lowers emissions to ensure long-term sustainability. Most importantly, HiIQ holders will be able to determine IQ.wiki’s course of action in the future by participating in governance.

This news comes at a perfect time as the IQ ecosystem has upgraded from OpenAI's GPT-3 model to the latest GPT-4 model, enhancing IQ.wiki, the world's largest blockchain encyclopedia. With this upgrade, IQ.wiki now uses the most advanced AI technology available. You can watch GPT-4 summarize an in-depth IQ.wiki page on the Ethereum Name Service in seconds.

IQ.wiki integrates Lens Protocol’s Lenster

Lens Protocol’s community of over 100,000 users can now easily share IQ.wiki pages onto Lenster, the leading Web3 social platform on Lens. Anyone reading IQ.wiki can simply click the share button on an IQ.wiki article and directly share the page on Lenster.

Lenster is a composable, decentralized, and permissionless social media web dApp built with Lens Protocol. Lenster was the first Web3 social experience to be built on Lens and functions similarly to Twitter both in layout and execution, with added support for a variety of NFT types. The Lens Protocol is a Web3 social graph on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake blockchain founded by Stani Kulechov of Aave. It is designed to empower creators to own the links between themselves and their community, forming a fully composable, user-owned social graph.

BrainDAO now has 2785 sfrxETH with Frax Ether

Frax Ether is an ETH LSD designed to uniquely leverage the Frax Finance ecosystem and smoothen the Ethereum staking process for a simplified, secure, and DeFi-native way to earn interest on ETH. BrainDAO chose liquid staking with Frax Ether since it offers the highest return and security. This will bring revenue to BrainDAO as all profits generated from Frax Ether validators are distributed to sfrxETH holders like BrainDAO. Frax Ether launched in January 2023, and the BrainDAO treasury now has 2785 sfrxETH which is equivalent to more than $5.3 million as of writing.
