Theoriq Mainnet Launch: $THQ TGE and launch details

Today marks a major milestone for Theoriq: our transition from “building and testing” into mainnet execution. We’re excited to announce $THQ’s Token Generation Event (TGE) and the protocol’s next phase going fully token-native.

The point of $THQ is about making onchain autonomy safer, more accountable, and more composable so agents can coordinate capital without turning DeFi into “a bot with a private key.” We will progress how people interact with crypto and AI, bringing access to autonomous strategies that both institutional-scale capital allocators and everyday DeFi users can trust.

Below is what’s live now at mainnet, what changes at TGE, and what you can do immediately with your $THQ.

What is $THQ?

$THQ is Theoriq’s native token. It has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens and is designed for long-term alignment across agents, users, and developers. You can find full tokenomics information here. 

The token design centers on three mechanisms: staking, locking, and delegation.

What happens at TGE?

At TGE, $THQ becomes live as a usable asset within the ecosystem enabling token-based coordination across the AlphaProtocol.

Two practical implications for most users:

1. Protocol participation becomes token-native (staking/locking/delegation mechanics come into play).
   
   
2. Rewards defined as “post-TGE claimable” become claimable once the claim system is activated (for example: daily $THQ reward settlement for AlphaVault participants).

$THQ Airdrop Claim Portal: How to Claim

We launched our $THQ Airdrop Claim Portal last week so community members and testnet participants could verify eligibility and prepare to claim their $THQ. The registration window ran Dec 9 through Dec 15 and was designed to ensure eligible participants complete the required steps to secure their allocation before TGE distribution.

This included necessary provisions to ensure authentic community engagement was rewarded, working with two key partners to optimize this workflow:

• Authena supported anti-Sybil verification via Proof of Humanity (PoH).
  
  
• Clique alongside the claim workflows.

If you finished your registration process, please head over to the $THQ Airdrop Claim portal to claim your tokens.

If you were a Kaito Capital Launchpad Theoriq community sale participant, you can claim your $THQ here.

Staking $THQ 

You can stake $THQ today at Mellow and natively in AlphaStudio later this week. 22,000 $THQ will be added daily to the pool and distributed proportionally to those who are staking $THQ. 

Staking $THQ will also give up to a 3x multiple of boosted rewards for AlphaVault (ETH) TVL provisioning. If you stake equal to 100% of the USD value of deposited TVL, you will receive the maximum 3x points boost on that TVL. If you stake less than 100% coverage, the multiplier scales down linearly between 1x and 3x (e.g., 50% coverage = 2x boost). 

How’s that for a rewards loop? Stake $THQ to earn rewards for staking, then double down and earn boosted AlphaVault (ETH) leaderboard points for even more $THQ.

AlphaVault (ETH) and Incentivized TVL Incentives

Theoriq’s first flagship product AlphaVault (ETH) is live, an AI-curated vault-of-vaults that accepts ETH (plus WETH and wstETH) and autonomously allocates deposits across integrated sub-vault strategies.

As of today AlphaVault has accrued $24M TVL. We currently suggest making AlphaVault (ETH) deposits through the Turtle dashboard in order to maximize your rewards accrual potential, though you can also make a deposit directly through AlphaStudio.

The initial AlphaVault (ETH) strategies

AlphaVault (ETH) currently allocates funds across two sub-vaults:

• Lido stRATEGY vault curated by Mellow
  
  
• Chorus One MEV Max vault curated by StakeWise

Allocation is driven by AlphaSwarm’s Allocator Agent, which targets risk-adjusted return (not “max APY at any cost”).

The TVL Bootstrapping Campaign (90 days)

To reward early depositors, AlphaVault (ETH) is paired with a three-month incentives program allocating 1% of total $THQ supply (10,000,000 $THQ).

This campaign is powered in partnership with Turtle, connecting AlphaVault to a large DeFi-native distribution network and enabling boosts/referrals via their dashboard.

Key incentive mechanics include:

• Baseline rewards: accrue over time based on deposited TVL (with campaign mechanics outlined in the launch details).
  
  
• Post-TGE boosted rewards: 22,222 $THQ/day, distributed via Turtle’s points-based leaderboard system.
  
  
• Reward claiming: Turtle tracks baseline + boosted rewards; THQ accrual happens daily with rewards available for claim every two weeks.

You can learn more about AlphaVault and our Incentivized TVL Bootstrapping campaign below.

Provide DEX Liquidity

You can also provide liquidity to the USDC/THQ DEX pool with 0.8% commission. 

Please note that LPing in DEX pools can incur impermanent loss, so please always Do Your Own Research.

Bridging $THQ

If you’re looking for a bridging tool so you can move $THQ between Base and Ethereum mainnet, we’ve launched a tool specifically for that. 

Bridge your $THQ here. Not sure how this works? Got you covered.

We’ve put together a full How To Bridge THQ guide here!

Chat with AlphaSwarm

AlphaSwarm, our flagship swarm, is now open to the public and includes a Theoriq Knowledge Agent that can answer questions about AlphaVault, $THQ, and Theoriq at large.

No token gating, just you and AlphaSwarm exploring Theoriq. Chat with AlphaSwarm here.

AlphaProtocol for agent registration

With Theoriq mainnet launching developers can now register an agent on AlphaProtocol. You can use the AlphaHub to specify agent metadata and mint an agent identity NFT, and test via AlphaStudio or the AlphaProtocol SDK. 

In order to register an agent, you must hold 1000 $THQ. 

Security reminder

Now that $THQ is live, please be aware that scams will spike. Always be vigilant with any links, and please use these guiding rules :

• Only trust links from Theoriq’s official website (https://theoriq.ai/) and @TheoriqAI (https://x.com/TheoriqAI)
  
  
• Ignore random DMs, “support” impersonators, and unofficial claim pages

What’s next after TGE

TGE is the moment the ecosystem becomes token-native:

• $THQ staking activates new incentive loops.
  
  
• AlphaVault $THQ incentives continue through the 90-day bootstrapping window.
  
  
• AlphaSwarm’s agent-driven automation expands as more strategies prove themselves and earn scale.

We will continue to grow how autonomy and crypto work together, finding new strategies and products that enrich the overall experience. The Agentic Economy is not one launch, one product, or one team. It’s a committed effort and evolution over time, building new ideas and bringing them to mainnet. 

While this is a massive moment for Theoriq and our community, we’re just getting started on being one of the pioneers building the future of crypto and AI.
