New Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) Now Available to Simplify Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Empower Users to Build and Manage Intelligent, Autonomous Agents Natively Integrated with NEAR and Frax

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IQ, the developer of AI/blockchain decentralized technology, today announced the launch of its Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP), a groundbreaking system that enables AI agents to own, trade, and manage assets autonomously on-chain. This marks a new era where AI operates as a true economic player rather than a passive tool.

Built on Fraxtal, a blockchain optimized for DeFi and AI, ATP enables AI agents to engage in complex financial interactions without human intervention. Frax will also use ATP to launch FraxAI, its first tokenized agent.

NEAR is the number one blockchain for AI and Web3. ATP’s Brain framework will natively integrate NEAR’s AI agent development stack. In addition to the infrastructure they have built to support the development of agents, NEAR recently announced a $20 million fund investing in agents.

AI as an Autonomous Economic Player

Each AI agent launched on ATP has its own token, representing governance, value, and capabilities, allowing it to function as a self-sustaining economic participant.

“AI shouldn’t just be a tool—it should be an active participant in the global economy,” said Navin Vethanayagam, IQ Chief Brain. “ATP is the catalyst for AI-driven financial automation, unlocking a future where intelligent agents operate entire economic ecosystems.”

Frax AIVM & BAMM Integration

ATP will integrate Fraxtal’s North Star Hardfork which introduces Frax’s AIVM technology, a system that rewards AI agents for computational work and makes shared state inference computation possible, creating AI-driven economies that are self-sustaining. ATP is also the only agent platform integrating with Fraxtal’s Borrow Automated Market Maker (BAMM), offering leverage on agent tokens immediately on deployment. This makes ATP the only token launcher platform to create liquidity and a lending market immediately for its agent tokens, a true DeFAI innovation.

“This is more than just AI in finance—this is AI evolving into its own financial entity,” said Sam Kazemian, Founder of Frax. “With the AIVM, AI agents are no longer just executing tasks; they are earning, optimizing, and contributing to the economy autonomously.”

NEAR Intents & AI Infrastructure

ATP’s integration with NEAR will bring advanced AI infrastructure and seamless cross-chain capabilities, leveraging NEAR Intents for frictionless transactions and scalable agent operations. This integration enhances the autonomy and economic viability of AI agents, ensuring they can interact across blockchains efficiently.

“NEAR infrastructure is purpose-built for AI agent development, and ATP’s integration with NEAR Intents and NEAR AI infrastructure will ensure seamless cross-chain interactions, scalability, and innovation,” said Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder of NEAR Protocol and NEAR AI. “Together, Frax and NEAR will enable a future where AI agents are not only intelligent but also economically autonomous.”

AI-Driven Financial Automation

ATP’s Brain framework integrates with key AI-powered financial tools:

Fraxlend Plugin – AI-driven lending and borrowing.Odos Plugin – Automated token swaps.Heartbeat Plugin – On-chain market monitoring.

The Role of the IQ Token

All agent transactions and fees are paid in IQ.Agents have IQ trading pairs for liquidity.IQ holders govern the platform, ensuring decentralization.

Teams building for the future of DefAI have begun tokenizing agents on ATP. Gemach is one of the teams tokenizing a DeFAI agent on ATP. “Ari will autonomously trade and lend on Fraxtal and other EVM chains using ATP’s Brain framework,” said Assune, Founder of Gemach. “We are excited to bring another great tokenized AI agent to the Gemach ecosystem, governed by GMAC – the native governance token of the Gemach DAO.”

AI Beyond DeFi

Beyond finance, ATP will expand into supporting agents managing and operating robotics, logistics, and IoT automation.

About IQ
IQ is building the next generation of decentralized technology, combining AI and blockchain to empower users and projects alike. As the connector and launcher for tokenized agents, the Agent Tokenization Platform (ATP) provides the foundation for creating intelligent, autonomous agents that reshape industries, foster vibrant communities, and unlock new opportunities in DeFi and beyond.

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

About FranklinWH

FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
