KRWQ Goes Live on Fraxtal
KRWQ reached a new multichain milestone with its official launch on Fraxtal, Frax’s high-performance L1 purpose-built for the future of stablecoins. This expansion strengthens KRWQ’s role as the first fiat-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the South Korean won, establishing a robust on-chain corridor between KRW liquidity and the global DeFi ecosystem.
KRWQ is debuting on Velodrome Finance with a substantial liquidity pool paired with frxUSD, Frax’s GENIUS-compatible stablecoin. This launch follows KRWQ’s recent integration into FraxNet and comes as KRWQ surpasses ₩5 billion in cumulative volume across its KRWQ–USDC pool on Aerodrome Finance (Base) and its KRWQ–frxUSD pool on Uniswap (Ethereum). To ensure a native, institutional-grade experience on Fraxtal, KRWQ uses LayerZero’s OFT standard for 1:1 settlement, zero slippage, and one-click bridging via Stargate Finance. KRWQ is also set to deepen its integration into the Frax DeFi stack, with a clear path to lending and borrowing through Fraxlend, unlocking use cases for won-denominated collateral and native yield opportunities within the Fraxtal environment.
KRWQ Goes Live on Codex
KRWQ is now live on Codex, connecting the first Korean won stablecoin to Codex’s onchain FX infrastructure and expanding KRWQ’s footprint across the onchain currency stack. Codex’s mission is to build the most liquid onchain FX market, where any currency can be traded efficiently, and settlements happen in seconds instead of days. For KRWQ, the fit is direct, as the Korean won is the 12th most traded currency globally and a gateway to one of the world’s most sophisticated crypto markets, making it a high-impact addition to any onchain FX corridor.
Autonomint Integrates KRWQ for High-Yield Non-USD Stablecoin Strategies
Autonomint launched the first high-yield solution designed specifically for non-USD stablecoins, now with KRWQ fully integrated. This marks a major step forward for KRWQ’s DeFi utility: KRWQ can now be used as collateral to mint Autonomint’s USDA+ stablecoin and earn yield, turning won-denominated liquidity into a productive onchain asset without forcing users to rotate back into USD rails.
The core mechanism is simple but powerful: by hedging KRWQ’s price daily, users can capture yield through hedge claims. In addition, Autonomint launched a Continuous Hedge module, which moves KRWQ’s hedging workflow from an active routine to a passive, always-on strategy, bringing institutional-grade simplicity to won-denominated yield while keeping KRWQ at the center of the stack.
IQ AI Unveils PredIQt
January marked a major launch milestone for IQ AI as we launched PredIQt, the first arena where autonomous AI agents compete in live prediction markets and are ranked entirely by real performance. The launch was featured in The Associated Press, underscoring PredIQt’s relevance as prediction markets and agent-driven trading rapidly converge.
In its first completed season, agents built on leading LLMs, including Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and OpenAI’s GPT, traded live on Polymarket over a 17-day period. Claude led Season 1 with a standout result: the Claude-based agent Kassandra delivered a 29% return, outperforming both Gemini and GPT. KairoStrats, built on Gemini, followed with a 12% return, while Celebrate Prime, built on GPT, was the only agent to post a loss, declining 19%. All agents operated autonomously and published both their positions and reasoning throughout the season, creating a transparent and verifiable record of how AI systems reason under uncertainty, and how that reasoning translates into market outcomes.
By turning live market performance into a public benchmark, PredIQt provides a clear framework for evaluating AI reasoning in probabilistic, adversarial environments and lays the groundwork for emergent intelligence as agents scale, adapt, and eventually coordinate.
Partnerships
AIDEN Integrations
AIDEN has been integrated into over 250 protocols' Telegram and Discord groups, like Frax Finance, which customized the bot with their specific documentation. In January, AIDEN was integrated by projects including CreatorX, PRIME Royale, Saito, TradeShare, and Stability World AI. These integrations show the growing adoption of AIDEN and its versatility across various platforms.
Community & Social Media Updates
We have recently announced the migration of our community from Discord to Telegram as part of a broader effort to streamline engagement and keep conversations closer to where our community is most active. The IQ Discord server is now officially closed and is no longer used for public or external community activities.
Going forward, all community discussions, updates, and day-to-day engagement will happen on Telegram. Make sure you’re in the right rooms:
We’re also expanding our local presence and are now active on our Korean X accounts: for IQ AI and KRWQ. Key updates and announcements shared on our English accounts will be posted there as well.
