IQ AI partners with Near Protocol... "Commercialization of interchain AI agent trading"

IQ AI, which operates an artificial intelligence (AI) agent tokenization platform, announced on the 13th that it has integrated NEAR Intents into its Agent Development Kit (ADK) through a technical collaboration with Near Protocol.

With this collaboration, tokenized AI agents from IQ AI can now participate in transactions, staking, and decentralized finance (DeFi) on Near Protocol without any additional procedures. Native support has also been built for the NEAR·FRAX token pair, along with a liquidity infrastructure provided via FraxSwap. In the future, it is expected that Shade Agents from Near Protocol will also be integrated into the ADK, enabling more advanced autonomous smart contract execution.

Financial cooperation also took place. BrainDAO, the governance body of IQ AI, purchased the NEAR token of Near Protocol to support staking and integrated development, while the Near Protocol Foundation purchased IQ and FRAX tokens to participate in the tokenized AI economy and provide liquidity.

Ilia Polosukhin, co-founder of Near Protocol, stated, "The IQ AI team shares Near Protocol's vision of making AI agents economic participants in both DeFi and the real world," adding, "Through this collaboration, we will jointly shape the future of digital assets (cryptocurrency) and AI."

Navin Vethanayagam, co-founder of IQ AI, said, "Through the technical integration and ecosystem linkage with Near Protocol, IQ AI-based agents are now able to operate seamlessly across chains and environments," and added, "We have taken another step closer to an intelligent and decentralized agent economy."
