PARSIQ launched its revolutionary IQ protocol on a test network

PARSIQ has launched its revolutionary IQ protocol on the test network, a decentralized financial solution for the SaaS market. The IQ Protocol is the world’s first risk-free and collateral-free DeFi protocol for tokenizing SaaS subscriptions in the DeFi space with a circular economy. The IQ Protocol includes several standard DeFi services, including stacking, lending, and borrowing.
The IQ Protocol breaks new ground for DeFi solutions in the core environment. Not only is the protocol’s network maintenance completely unreliable, but the protocol itself is open source. In addition, the PARSIQ team is considering running the core network on several other networks, including Binance Smart Chain and Solana, with which PARSIQ is already integrated. IQ Protocol is also taking an innovative approach to the use of tokens through the introduction of Power Tokens.
Power tokens are housed in “Power Enterprise,” a series of smart contracts that combine several features of the IQ Protocol, including management, funding and the ability to mint new Power tokens.
