Similar to most blockchain projects, Quant has its native token called QNT, which is a utility token designed for specific uses within the Quant ecosystem.
The primary function of the QNT token is to act as a medium a developer can use to exchange for the right to use and develop applications on the Quant network. Both individual and corporate developers can purchase QNT tokens and lock them for 12 months. Additionally, developers are required to pay an annual fee in QNT to keep their applications running. When transactions occur on these applications, developers receive a portion of the fees generated from these transactions as compensation.
What is Quant network?
Quant is a network developed to function as an operating system, called Overledger, which is capable of connecting multiple blockchain networks on a global scale. Its purpose is to enable smooth collaboration between various blockchains and networks.
Quant was first introduced in 2018 and raised funds through an initial coin offering (ICO) worth up to 11 million USD. It stands out as one of the first projects aimed at solving the interoperability issue of blockchains by serving as an operating system for the world’s initial blockchains.
Quant’s Overledger operating system allows developers to create applications that operate across multiple blockchain networks, known as MApps. To create MApps, developers need to hold a certain amount of QNT tokens.
