iq6900

IQ6900 is the old name of IQ Labs, a Solana project that builds Code-In, a way to store files and app data inside Solana transactions. It has no link to the Face IQ Labs app or to other tokens that use the IQ ticker.

Code-In is an inscription method. A file is cut into small pieces and written into normal transactions, so the data lives on Solana itself. IQ Labs has built a database, a message board, a Git host, a token launchpad and an AI agent app on top of it.

The project began as a memecoin in late 2024. It later took the IQ Labs name and moved to a new IQ token. The team now works from iqlabs.dev.

How Code-In inscriptions store data on Solana

Code-In writes your data into the body of Solana transactions. Two small accounts keep track of where each piece is. Nothing sits in rented account space, which is the costly part of storing data on Solana.

The older IQ Labs docs describe the two accounts. One anchors a chain of transactions that hold the pieces of a file. The other records the last transaction in that chain, plus details such as the file type. To read a file, software starts at the last transaction and follows the links back until it has every piece.

The developer docs say the SDK picks a method by size. A small file goes into one transaction. A larger one is split into chunks of 850 bytes, or 3,600 bytes on Solana's newer transaction format. Big uploads are sent in parallel to save time.

The same program does more than hold files. It offers tables that store rows of data, user profiles, and friend links between wallets. A table can be gated so that only holders of a set token or NFT collection can write to it. The SDK also includes encryption for private data. The Solana program ID is 9KLLchQVJpGkw4jPuUmnvqESdR7mtNCYr3qS4iQLabs.

What Code-In costs per MB

Code-In costs a few thousandths of a SOL per megabyte in network fees, plus a small protocol fee for each upload. The IQ Labs NFT guide puts network fees at about 0.0015 SOL per MB on the newer transaction format. On the older format the figure is about 0.006 SOL.

The same guide adds a protocol fee of roughly 0.001 to 0.005 SOL per upload. In its worked example, a collection of several hundred images, protocol fees come to several times the network fees. For a set of many small files, the per-upload protocol fee is the larger cost.

IQ Labs markets Code-In as about 2,000 times cheaper than storing the same data in Solana accounts. That multiple is the team's own figure, and its posts have quoted other numbers at other times. Use the guide's figures as your reference, and test with a small file first.

IQ Labs apps: BlockChan, On-Chain Git and AgentNet

IQ Labs runs several apps on Code-In to show what the storage layer can do. The three most complete are a message board, a Git host and an AI agent app.

BlockChan is a message board in the style of 4chan at blockchan.sol.site. Each post is a Solana transaction sent from your own wallet to a Code-In table. A sister board called HoodChan runs on Robinhood Chain.

On-Chain Git stores code history and file contents as inscriptions. You can use a command-line tool with the usual init, commit, push and clone commands. You can also browse and edit repos at git.iqlabs.dev. A repo can be shown as a website under a .sol name from Solana Name Service (SNS) SNS$0.00080+33.0%.

AgentNet is an open-source app for running AI coding agents. Its Android version starts a Linux system on the phone and runs the Claude and Codex command-line tools on the device. Agent "skills" are sold as NFTs that cannot be moved to another wallet. A Solana wallet acts as the agent's identity. IQ Labs said on 7 October 2026 that version 0.1.11 was rolling out on Google Play and the Solana dApp Store.

Code-In token launchpad on Solana and Robinhood Chain

The Code-In website became a token launchpad on 27 September 2026, per the IQ Labs announcement. You upload a file, inscribe it, and create a token whose image and details are stored on-chain. The team added a Robinhood Chain version on 1 October 2026.

A normal Solana token holds a web link to its image and details, often on IPFS. A Code-In token points to a Solana transaction that holds those details. That transaction then points to the one that holds the image. IQ Labs explained the design in a thread on 28 September 2026.

The team called the first week a beta. It has also said it does not back tokens made on the launchpad. Founder Zo has posted that an NFT launchpad is planned next.

IQ Labs SDKs and IQ Gateway for developers

Developers get SDKs in TypeScript and Python for Solana, plus an Ethereum SDK for EVM chains. The docs list live contracts on Monad and Robinhood Chain, and a test version on Sepolia. They state that Ethereum mainnet is not deployed yet.

Apps do not need to query the chain themselves to read data. The IQ Gateway is a read-only cache that turns inscriptions into normal web links. IQ Labs runs a public one at gateway.iqlabs.dev. The code is open, so you can host your own. The gateway cannot write or spend anything.

The IQCoreTeam GitHub page showed fresh commits across its main repos in September and October 2026. The Solana, Python and Ethereum SDKs and AgentNet carry the Apache 2.0 licence. The on-chain NFT guide uses the Candy Machine tool from Metaplex MPLX$0.050+0.8% for minting.

IQ token: the IQ6900 [OLD] to IQ Labs migration

The live token is IQ, with the mint address 3uXACfojUrya7VH51jVC1DCHq3uzK4A7g469Q954LABS. The first IQ6900 token is a separate mint that the team has left behind. Price trackers label it "IQ6900 [OLD]". CoinGecko's listing states that IQ6900 was renamed IQ Labs and moved to a new contract.

The old token hit its peak price on 7 January 2025, according to Decrypt's price page. It still shows up in searches and on some trading apps, so check the mint address before you do anything with it. IQ Labs said on 11 October 2026 that it will not create any other official coin.

In April 2026 the team published a fee model. Under it, SOL fees from inscriptions and database writes go to token buybacks and community rewards. The same thread carried a blunt warning. If monthly revenue stays under $10,000, all of it may go to running costs and developer pay.

In May 2026 the team said 69% of table creation fees would go to the developer whose app created the table.

Who IQ Labs is for

IQ Labs suits developers and creators who want their data to sit on Solana itself and who are happy to use early tools. It is a weaker fit if you need audited software, a support desk, or a home for a very large media library.

The best use cases are small to mid-sized files where lasting matters more than ease. Think NFT art, token images, text, simple websites, code repos and forum posts. One community builder has used the SDK for an on-chain music player.

For very large files such as games or whole websites, IQ Labs itself points you to the SDK over the website. Big uploads send many transactions, so plan for an RPC provider that can take the load.

Is IQ Labs safe? Risks and limitations

IQ Labs is early software from a small team, and we found no published outside audit of the Code-In program. The main risks are a program that can be changed, reads that rely on gateways and RPC history, and a thinly traded token.

The program can be changed. The developer docs describe an upgrade on 16 September 2026 that made accounts larger. It cost existing writers a one-time top-up of about 0.045 SOL. We could not confirm who holds the upgrade key, and the docs do not say.

Reads depend on outside services. Wallets and websites load inscriptions through a gateway. If a gateway goes offline, the data can still be rebuilt from Solana transactions. That needs an RPC provider that keeps full transaction history.

The EVM version has a known flaw. The gateway docs say that following the links on EVM chains "silently loses rows when two wallets write the same table at once". The gateway works around this with its own index.

The token carries its own risks. A HashEx automated scan dated 10 October 2025 found that no new IQ can be minted. It also flagged that the token's details can still be edited and that holdings are fairly concentrated. IQ Labs has said the largest wallet is its own treasury.

Liquidity is not locked yet. On 9 October 2026 the team said it would lock its liquidity pool for good on Meteora MET$0.364-4.4% within a week, using a Squads multisig. It promised to post the transaction once done.

Funding is thin. Founder Zo wrote on 27 September 2026 that he had gone two years without a company job, was running low on savings, and was open to paid work.

Last, inscriptions cannot be deleted. Anything you upload stays readable. So does anything other people post to a public board or launchpad.

IQ Labs vs IPFS and Arweave storage

Code-In keeps a token's files on the same chain as the token. IPFS and Arweave keep the files on a separate network and leave only a link on Solana. That is the trade-off to weigh.

With Code-In you rely on one system, and the link inside a token is a Solana transaction ID. The costs are young tools, protocol fees that add up for big sets, and the need for a gateway so wallets can show the file. IPFS and Arweave are the established route. Zo has noted that most NFTs still point to a link held off the chain.

Team and history

IQ Labs is led by a developer known as Zo, who posts as @Im_zo_sol. The official X account is now @IQLabsOfficial. The old @IQ6900_ account shows no recent posts.

The team put a playable copy of DOOM on Solana in May 2025. It followed with a Game Boy emulator running Pokemon in April 2026. Both were built to show off Code-In. In an October 2026 post, IQ Labs said it had been building for two years.
