Introducing the engine for decentralized intelligence

The future of decentralized finance (DeFi) demands autonomous agents that are intelligent entities that learn, adapt, and coordinate onchain. While DeFi unlocks powerful tools (money markets, liquidity, derivatives) previously exclusive to institutions, the increasing complexity of DeFi creates a significant usability gap that only AI agents are poised to solve.

The solution is not incremental upgrades, but infrastructure that is purpose-built for agentic activity. The fuel of this ecosystem is $THQ, the value and coordination layer that:

• Secures agents operating onchain.
• Rewards holders and stakers with protocol fees, partner incentives, and sustainable emissions generated by agent activity.
• Aligns the incentives of agents, projects, and the broader community for sustainable, long-term growth.

With $THQ, you do not just hold a token, you gain access to the Agentic Economy, a system where AI-powered agents drive value creation, distribute rewards, and transform how DeFi is accessed and managed by crypto projects and their communities.

Enabling the agentic flywheel with $THQ

Theoriq's value engine is built around a powerful, multi-stage flywheel involving multiple ecosystem participants:

1. AlphaProtocol provides AI agents the infrastructure and primitives to take action onchain. This is the core of AlphaProtocol, providing infrastructure for agents to execute onchain strategies, manage vaults, and coordinate across the ecosystem. Agents stake sTHQ tokens to gain access to AlphaProtocol and ensure agent integrity.
2. AlphaSwarm drives usage of AlphaProtocol. AlphaSwarm provides AI automation of high value onchain and DeFi actions, driving usage by projects (and their token holders), DeFi protocols, and capital allocators. AlphaSwarm actions lead to higher TVL, and fees for AlphaProtocol.
3. Rewards for providing network security. $THQ stakers contribute to protocol security by actively staking. Agents using the protocol pay fees, which in turn fund rewards to stakers for their participation in the network.

$THQ tokenomics: alignment by design

At the center of this agentic infrastructure is $THQ, designed for stability, alignment, and long-term value.

Fixed supply: $THQ is capped at 1 billion tokens, ensuring lasting scarcity and clarity for all participants.

Strategic allocation: the token supply is distributed to foster healthy growth and broad participation.

• 24% is reserved for Core Contributors, with a three-year vesting schedule and a one-year cliff, rewarding sustained commitment to building the protocol.
• 30% goes to Investors, supporting foundational capital and long-term alignment.
• 18% is dedicated to Community incentives, rewarding ambassadors, partners, agent operators, and contributors.
• 28% is allocated to the Treasury, fueling ecosystem incentives, strategic partnerships, and ongoing protocol operations.

Multi-year incentive programs: a substantial pool is set aside for adoption and engagement, both pre- and post-TGE, ensuring there are always strong rewards for active participation and early contribution.

Insider vesting schedule: 33.33% at a 1-year cliff for investors, the Theoriq team, and advisors. After that, monthly vesting over the following 2 years for the remaining tokens at 1/24 each month.

Aligning the ecosystem with $THQ

$THQ holders participate in a robust system of rewards, and deflationary mechanics are designed to ensure sustainable rewards and long-term alignment.

1. Protocol fees. Collected from agent activities, such as strategy execution and vault management, these fees form the backbone of the network's economic engine and are the primary source for funding rewards. These fees are collected as performance fees in the form of the asset being managed, for example an agent managing an ETH vault would collect fees in ETH.
2. Partner project access. Projects that utilize AlphaProtocol need to hold or stake $THQ, enhancing network security.

1. Staking ($THQ to sTHQ). Staking $THQ to mint sTHQ (staked THQ) locks economic value, serving as a crucial security layer and providing insurance against potential failures. In return, sTHQ holders earn THQ token emissions. sTHQ holders may also receive rewards from ecosystem partners, offering diversified exposure to the broader ecosystem.
2. Locking (sTHQ to αTHQ) for enhanced emissions. Locking sTHQ for a chosen duration (1 to 24 months) within the AlphaLocker mints αTHQ (Alpha THQ), a non-transferable representation of time-weighted power. These emissions will initially be funded by donation from the Theoriq Treasury and may later also be funded by protocol revenue, directly rewarding long-term commitment and strategic alignment. αTHQ may also accrue a share of token incentives from ecosystem partners.

1. Empowering agents with delegation. αTHQ holders can delegate portions of their αTHQ to specific AI agents, directly fueling the Agentic Economy's operational integrity. A single αTHQ balance can be delegated as collateral across multiple agents, akin to restaking, where commitment supports diverse agents simultaneously.
2. Delegator benefits. This delegation unlocks significant protocol fee discounts for the delegator when interacting with supported agents. Delegators also participate in shared rewards, which can include additional incentives offered directly by agent operators.
3. Security and accountability. Delegated αTHQ acts as slashable collateral, providing a direct economic stake in the agent's honest performance. If an agent misbehaves or underperforms, the delegated αTHQ (and its underlying sTHQ) can be slashed, providing a clear economic consequence and reinforcing trust.
4. Agent performance boost. Delegated stake increases an agent's discovery ranking, execution capacity, and enables favorable protocol fee tiers, directly benefiting the agent operator.

1. Slashing and burning or redistribution. Misbehaving agents are penalized by being slashed on their delegated αTHQ and underlying sTHQ. Slashed tokens will be burned and removed from circulation or redistributed for productive usage, for example user reimbursement and holder incentives.
2. Active treasury management. The foundation will exercise judgment in relation to its treasury and its relative liquid, $THQ, and other holdings, to support ecosystem initiatives, engagement, incentives, and ongoing adoption.

How you can participate

Whether you are interested in early access, staking to provide security, a DeFi power user, a liquidity contributor, or an agent developer, $THQ is designed for you.

• Access. Owning $THQ unlocks access and discounts for use of the Theoriq AlphaProtocol and partner projects.
• Rewards staker. Stake your $THQ for sTHQ and earn emissions and partner rewards, simple, liquid, and sustainable.
• Delegator. Delegate αTHQ to agents, boosting their capacity and becoming eligible for agent-specific perks, while also helping secure the network through slashable collateral.
• Liquidity contributor. Deposit assets into agent vaults and earn fees and rewards from automated, AI-driven strategies.
• Agent developer and operator. Build and operate agents, collect fees, build reputation, and grow your impact within the Theoriq ecosystem, earning protocol emissions for your contributions.

No matter your role, you are aligned with protocol growth and rewarded for your contributions, and can gain discounts for using agents by holding $THQ.

Phased rollout for sustainable growth

To ensure resilience and adaptability, Theoriq's roadmap is structured in clearly defined phases. We will also be prioritizing feedback from all stakeholders in the ecosystem as we build and iterate.

The $THQ advantage

Theoriq's model unlocks sustainable, protocol-driven value for every participant. $THQ is more than a token, it is your access point to the agentic economy and new models for crypto.

Stake. Lock. Delegate. Build. The future of onchain intelligence is here, powered by $THQ.
