We've just announced IQ AI.
FarmAI is a project focused on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into agricultural practices, aiming to enhance farming operations. It operates with a native digital token, $FARMAI, which serves as the core unit for various functions within its platform. [1]
FarmAI is a technology platform focused on transforming agriculture through autonomous systems, AI analytics, and blockchain integration. It addresses key challenges in the sector—such as population growth, climate variability, and supply chain instability—by reducing human dependency in operations and enhancing data transparency. The system aims to improve agricultural outcomes by making processes more efficient, predictable, and sustainable across cultivation and distribution.
FarmAI prioritizes sustainability, aiming to lower carbon emissions, improve water and soil usage, and contribute to long-term food security. Its goal is to create a fully autonomous and transparent agricultural ecosystem, where AI tools and blockchain infrastructure help optimize production and provide reliable data for all participants. [2] [3]
FarmAI’s autonomous farming infrastructure is designed to minimize human error, reduce operational costs, and enhance agricultural efficiency through advanced automation and real-time data systems. The platform utilizes a fleet of autonomous machines—including drones, robots, and tractors—to handle field tasks such as planting, spraying, irrigating, and harvesting with minimal manual input. These machines operate with high precision, continuously transmitting sensor data to a centralized system and blockchain, ensuring that all operations are recorded, traceable, and verifiable.
Planting drones use precision sensors to optimize seed placement, minimizing waste and improving germination. Spraying drones apply treatments based on plant health data, reducing chemical use. Harvesting robots select only mature crops, thereby improving product quality and reducing labor requirements. Autonomous tractors manage soil preparation, fertilization, and irrigation continuously to enhance efficiency.
A network of sensors and IoT devices continuously monitors environmental conditions, including soil moisture, temperature, light levels, and plant health. This enables real-time tracking of crop development and dynamic adjustment of care practices based on data rather than guesswork, supporting more efficient and scientific production. The system also collects telemetry data on machine performance, including fuel levels, operation times, and application rates for chemicals or fertilizers. This data is logged on the blockchain and used for maintenance planning, yield analysis, and insurance verification, providing transparent and tamper-proof records for stakeholders such as insurers and enterprise buyers. [4]
FarmAI’s AI layer serves as the analytical core of the platform, enabling data-driven decision-making in agriculture through predictive modeling, early risk detection, and resource optimization. By processing large volumes of environmental, historical, and operational data, the system helps producers forecast outcomes, prevent losses, and reduce inefficiencies.
The yield prediction engine integrates data such as soil composition, weather trends, historical yields, and current plant health to generate accurate harvest forecasts. These forecasts assist with production planning and financial projections by replacing guesswork with evidence-based expectations.
The early warning system identifies signs of potential issues, such as pest outbreaks, plant diseases, or nutrient deficiencies, allowing for timely intervention. These alerts are delivered directly to users in real-time, allowing for early intervention, minimizing input costs, and preserving crop quality—particularly valuable for large-scale operations.
The resource optimization module evaluates soil and crop data to deliver precise recommendations on fertilizer application, irrigation timing, and chemical treatment dosage. This reduces unnecessary input use, lowers energy demands, and supports more sustainable production by minimizing waste and environmental impact. [5]
FarmAI’s blockchain layer supports transparent and verifiable agricultural operations by recording every activity—from planting to harvest—on an immutable ledger. This system replaces traditional opaque processes with traceable data accessible to farmers, buyers, and consumers. It allows producers to validate their practices, while supply chain participants gain insight into the full lifecycle of agricultural products. Each product's journey is tracked through on-chain lot numbers, ensuring quality control and reducing the risk of fraud. This traceability is especially valuable for exporters seeking entry into premium markets that require proof of origin and handling.
In addition to transparency, FarmAI integrates smart contracts to automate key financial transactions. Payments are executed immediately upon delivery, yield-based incentives are triggered automatically, and insurance payouts are processed without manual intervention in the event of crop loss. This automation enhances operational efficiency, mitigates fraud risk, and ensures financial stability for farmers, buyers, and insurers alike. Through these features, the blockchain layer not only secures data integrity but also streamlines logistics and finance in agricultural production. [6]
FarmAI’s DeSci (Decentralized Science) layer extends the platform beyond agricultural automation by enabling the open, decentralized production and distribution of scientific research. This framework is designed to support transparency and accessibility in agricultural science, sustainability studies, and climate-related data by leveraging Web3 technologies. It makes research data—gathered through field sensors and farmer networks—available to the broader research community, allowing for collaborative innovation and verifiable analysis.
Through DAO-based funding models, researchers can secure financial support directly from the community. Scientific contributions are stored and shared using blockchain and IPFS, with NFTs used to register intellectual property and credit authorship. Publishing and peer review processes are conducted on decentralized platforms, ensuring transparency, permanence, and resistance to censorship. This system fosters a collaborative and verifiable environment for scientific progress within the agricultural sector. [7]
The FARMAI token functions as the primary medium for value exchange within the FarmAI platform. It facilitates transactions, rewards, and fee payments across various services and features. Key uses of the token include staking for earning rewards, purchasing access to advanced AI analytics, and leasing autonomous farming equipment. Token holders can also participate in governance by voting on platform proposals. Additionally, the token is used to reward farmers based on verified performance, pay for blockchain-backed supply chain certifications, and support funding and data access within FarmAI’s decentralized science ecosystem. [8]
FARMAI has a total supply of 118M tokens and has the following distribution: [8]
Staking FARMAI tokens incentivizes users to hold tokens long-term and supports the platform’s sustainability. By staking, users receive several benefits within the FarmAI ecosystem. Stakers gain access to detailed, AI-generated analytics reports that cover crop productivity, climate risks, supply chain developments, and market forecasts, supporting informed operational and commercial decisions. They also receive priority in governance participation, enabling them to vote on key platform decisions such as feature development, fund allocation, and reward policies. Additionally, stakers receive early access to new tools, sensor integrations, and blockchain modules, enabling them to participate in pilot programs, earn extra rewards, and help test emerging innovations before they are released more broadly.
