IQ Protocol is a beacon for the gaming industry, offering a permissionless open-source NFT rental technology that breaks down barriers and revolutionizes gaming tokenomics. We provide an effortless, cost-free integration that invites users to seamlessly step into the realm of blockchain games and NFT projects.

Our technology is designed to supercharge engagement by enhancing the three metrics that matter the most in the gaming world: the number of players, the level of activity, and the liquidity of the in-game economy. With IQ Protocol, our partners have seen a tenfold increase in the distribution of their assets and a surge in player onboarding.

IQ Protocol was recently awarded grant sponsorship from the prodigious Arbitrum Foundation, and was included as one of 16 projects in the Polygon Village Start-up programme.

“Reflecting on the journey of the blockchain gaming industry, it’s astounding to see how far we’ve come. From rudimentary beginnings to intricate worlds that captivate thousands, we’ve pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. The potential ahead is boundless, promising innovations and experiences we’ve yet to imagine. Strap in! “ — Tom Tirman, CEO of IQ Protocol.
