About IQ Protocol
IQ.Space is a revolutionary platform that unlocks the true potential of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Through their innovative Rent. Play. Earn. system, users can access exclusive NFTs with unique utilities at a fraction of the purchasing cost. With the IQ Market, users can rent NFTs with shared rewards or a fixed price, without any upfront deposits. The IQ Protocol allows projects to split out the benefits of an NFT, and rent out each utility as a separate asset on the marketplace. This allows users to generate easy passive income by renting out their in-game assets. Additionally, IQ.Space offers a gasless feature that allows users to access NFTs without ever having to pay a penny. They also provide a decentralized ecosystem that powers the events industry via NFT ticketing platform and metaverse. Finally, IQ.Space offers a 3D dark-fantasy Play-&-Earn NFT game, as well as an NFT game about collecting, breeding, and caring for Kitsu pets. IQ.Space is revolutionizing the way people interact with NFTs, and is providing a unique opportunity for users to unlock the full utility of NFTs and generate passive income.
