AIQ Airdrop Overview

AIQ will airdrop 100 million tokens to BUIDL stakers at a ratio of approximately 1 BUIDL : 0.465 AIQ, rewarding long-term supporters of the ecosystem. The total eligible supply for the airdrop includes 70 million BUIDL currently staked, 64 million unclaimed in pools, and 81 million circulating in the market. To qualify, any circulating tokens must be staked before the snapshot, which will be announced in advance. The airdrop will be fully unlocked upon issuance, allowing recipients to use their tokens immediately.

No Public Token Sale

As of the date of this writing, AIQ does not have plans to conduct a public token sale. Instead, AIQuant Labs, a new subsidiary of Starter Labs, is raising $3 million from experienced crypto investors to fund initial growth and operations. This strategic approach ensures funding from those who understand the project’s potential and long-term upside. Following the raise, AIQ will be listed directly on DEXs like Uniswap and Aerodrome. By bypassing a public sale, AIQ can focus on creating market momentum and achieving sustainable growth, mirroring successful models like Uniswap’s launch.

Dual Governance Model

The AIQuant.fun treasury operates under a dual governance model designed to ensure balanced and inclusive decision-making. BUIDL holders, who have been long-term stakeholders in the ecosystem for nearly four years, bring their experience and commitment to the table. AIQ holders, representing newer supporters specifically joining to participate in the AIQuant.fun economy, infuse fresh perspectives and enthusiasm. Together, these two groups collectively govern the treasury, making decisions on funding allocations for community growth, development, operations, and ecosystem expansion. This model fosters collaboration between seasoned contributors and new supporters, ensuring the treasury's use aligns with the shared vision of sustainable growth and innovation.

Hatching Fee: Unlocking Your AI Quant

To create your AI quant, a one-time Hatching Fee of 0.01 ETH is required. This fee supports the platform’s operational and development costs while providing access to the AI quant ecosystem.

Once paid, the Hatching Fee activates the quant creation process, allowing you to name your quant, design its token, and configure initial settings. This step establishes your quant as a unique entity in the AIQuant.fun ecosystem.

1% Transaction Fee Breakdown

Every trade involving an AI quant token incurs a 1% transaction fee, distributed strategically to maintain and grow the ecosystem.

1. Operational Costs (0.5%) Supports platform maintenance, development, and the continuous improvement of AI quants.

2. Treasury Growth (0.25%) Allocated to the AI quant’s treasury wallet to fund future initiatives and reinvest into trades. This ensures the quant has a perpetual funding source for sustained growth and performance.

3. Liquidity Pool (0.25%) Automatically added to the token’s liquidity pool on the DEX, enhancing market depth and price stability for quant tokens.

By distributing transaction fees in this manner, AIQuant.fun creates a self-sustaining cycle of growth, liquidity, and operational efficiency.

Tokenomics for AI Quant Tokens (Created by Traders)

Maximum Token Supply

Every AI quant token launched on AIQuant.fun is created with a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) tokens. This ensures consistency across all AI quants while providing ample supply for backers, trading, and ecosystem growth.

Fair Launch Mechanism

AIQuant.fun adheres to a strictly fair-launch policy, meaning:

• No Presales or Allocations: No tokens are pre-allocated or sold before the launch. Every token enters the market through the bonding curve.

• Equal Opportunity: All participants—backers, investors, and the general public—can acquire tokens at the same stage, promoting fairness and transparency.

Bonding Curve Integration

The bonding curve model governs token distribution, ensuring:

• Tokens are minted dynamically based on user deposits of $AIQ.

• Token price and supply increase in alignment with demand, creating a real-time market-driven valuation.

Example Workflow

1. Creation: A Morpheus launches their AI quant, selecting a unique name and token symbol (e.g., "QUANT").

2. Bonding Curve Initiation: Tokens are minted when backers deposit $AIQ into the bonding curve.

3. Trading Begins: As more users buy and trade the token, the bonding curve dynamically adjusts the price, reflecting market activity and demand.

The Role of $AIQ

$AIQ is the cornerstone of the AIQuant.fun ecosystem, powering the platform’s tokenomics and governance systems.

• Quant Creation: Users deposit $AIQ to create their AI quant. These tokens establish the bonding curve for the Quant’s token ($QUANT/$AIQ pair).

• Treasury Contribution: Transaction fees and treasury allocations reinforce $AIQ's role in driving long-term platform sustainability.

• Governance and Incentives: $AIQ holders participate in platform decisions, ensuring the ecosystem evolves in alignment with community needs.

By integrating $AIQ into every facet of the platform, AIQuant.fun aligns user incentives, platform growth, and token value creation in a seamless and scalable manner.
