What IQ coordinates
IQ is an AI / DePIN infrastructure token, currently ranked 456th by market capitalization among the assets we track. IQ sits in the AI/DePIN category, where tokens incentivize a real-world or compute resource network. Providers earn IQ for contributing capacity, and demand for that capacity is the fundamental to watch.
IQ is a decentralized cryptocurrency designed to facilitate and incentivize knowledge sharing and intellectual engagement within its community. It aims to empower users through a unique tokenomics model that rewards contributions to knowledge ecosystems.
How the network bootstraps supply and demand
These networks face a two-sided problem: pay providers enough in IQ to bring resources online, while attracting real paying demand for those resources. Token emissions can solve the first but not the second.
IQ is not mined; it is issued as a token rather than secured by its own mining or staking layer.
Background & fundamentals
IQ operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. IQ lists a documented core team of 7, so the people behind the project are at least named on the record. Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust.
The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in IQ. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "On-going development". In sector terms it is most often filed under Education, EOS Token, and AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Where IQ sits in the market
With IQ near $0.00075000, IQ carries a market capitalization of $17.29M. Around $1.13M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 6.55% of the float — a healthy level of activity for an asset this size.
Only ~35% of the 60B-IQ maximum supply is circulating today, so emissions remain a live factor in price discovery. IQ remains -99% beneath its all-time high of $0.0768, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close.
What the price history shows
Across timeframes, IQ shows 24-hour +1.90%, 7-day -7.33%. IQ is currently trading near the bottom of its 365-day range (around the 1st percentile of recent closes).
Volatility profile
Recent action puts IQ in the Moderate-volatility band — it shows the kind of price movement common in mid-cap crypto assets — meaningful but not unusual.
How to evaluate an AI/DePIN token like IQ
For an asset of this type, three lenses matter most:
- Real demand — paying usage of the network's resource, not just provider rewards funded by IQ emissions.
- Supply growth — how much real-world or compute capacity the network has actually brought online.
- Token economics — whether IQ demand can outgrow the incentives the protocol pays to bootstrap it.
