Token Generation Event
AIQuant Labs, a new subsidiary of Starter Labs, has secured equity funding from experienced crypto investors to boost initial growth and operations. This strategic approach eliminated the need to launch seed, strategic and private token sales. AIQ will be listed directly on DEXs like Uniswap and/or Aerodrome during our TGE in September 2025.
Initial Market Cap: $500,000
AIQ Airdrop Overview
AIQ will airdrop 10 million tokens (1% of supply) to BUIDL stakers at a ratio of approximately 1 BUIDL : 0.465 AIQ, rewarding long-term supporters of the ecosystem and bootstrapping our trading community.

Hatching Fee: Unlocking Your AI Quant
To create your AI quant, a one-time Hatching Fee of 0.10 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 and configure initial settings. This step establishes your quant as a unique entity in the AIQuant.fun ecosystem.
Utility for AIQ: Tokenized Quants (Future Release)
In a future release of AIQuant.fun, we will support the creation of tokenized quants. A description of how this works to increase the utility of AIQ is outlined below.
Maximum Token Supply
Every tokenized quant launched on AIQuant.fun will be 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
Creation: A Morpheus launches their AI quant, selecting a unique name and token symbol (e.g., "QUANT").
Bonding Curve Initiation: Tokens are minted when backers deposit $AIQ into the bonding curve.
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).
Stake to Earn: Staking AIQ will result in the distribution of USDC rewards based on your tier. Check out the Stake section in our Earn page to learn more.
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.
