What is Quant (QNT)?
Quant (QNT) is a cryptocurrency launched in June 2018 with the goal of connecting blockchains and networks on a global scale, addressing interoperability without reducing network efficiency. It powers Quant Network's Overledger, the first blockchain operating system designed to facilitate internet-scale development of decentralized multi-chain applications (MApps).
Quant differentiates itself by addressing blockchain interoperability through its operating system, Overledger, which acts as a gateway connecting different blockchain networks and applications. Unlike other tokens, Quant enables seamless interoperability across multiple blockchains by allowing applications to interact at various layers such as transactions, messaging, and application referencing. This unique multi-layered approach unlocks multi-chain applications and supports smart contracts across chains that traditionally don't support them, such as Bitcoin.
Quant's utility is centered around its native token, QNT, which serves as a payment method within the Overledger ecosystem. Developers and clients must hold QNT tokens to obtain licenses, pay fees for transactions, and operate gateways on the network. Tokens used for licensing are locked for 12 months. This ensures users pay for the read/write operations and services facilitated by Overledger.
The Quant network relies on the Overledger Network which includes gateways linking different blockchains. The consensus mechanism involves a community handling treasury smart contracts and QNT payments flowing from users to gateways, ensuring accountability similar to Ethereum’s proof-of-stake blockchains. Precise consensus details beyond this community governance model are not explicitly provided in the available information.
Quant was co-founded by Gilbert Verdian and Dr Paolo Tasca. Gilbert Verdian, with over 20 years of industry experience including roles as chief information security officer in several organizations, conceived the idea to solve interoperability challenges in blockchain while working in the healthcare sector. Dr Paolo Tasca is a digital economist and entrepreneur specializing in distributed systems and has advised the EU Parliament, the United Nations, and central banks on blockchain technologies. Their aim was to create a blockchain operating system to bridge disparate blockchain networks and fulfill the vision of secure, open connectivity for data, machines, and people.
The Quant (QNT) token was launched in June 2018.
Quant's native token, QNT, is a utility token used primarily to access the Overledger blockchain operating system. Developers and clients must hold and lock QNT tokens to obtain licenses and pay transaction fees for using Overledger's services. The tokens are locked for 12 months when used this way. QNT facilitates payments for running gateways and performing read/write operations on Overledger. Additionally, having QNT tokens is a prerequisite for developers to build decentralized multi-chain applications (MApps) on the network.
You can buy the cryptocurrency Quant (QNT) token on several exchanges including Bilaxy, Bittrex, Bithumb Global, 1inch Exchange, Uniswap (V2), and Hotbit. It can be traded against cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), stablecoins such as Tether (USDT), and fiat currencies such as the euro.
Quant aims to solve the interoperability problem between different blockchains by creating Overledger, the first blockchain operating system. Overledger connects various blockchain networks and allows developers to build decentralized multi-chain applications (MApps), bridging the gap between disparate blockchains without limiting users to a single vendor or technology.
The provided documents do not specify whether Quant (QNT) is open-source or if its code can be publicly reviewed.
The Quant (QNT) tokens were generated with a max supply of 14,612,493 tokens split as follows: 9.9 million tokens were sold to the public during the ICO; 2.6 million tokens were assigned to the company reserve; 1.3 million tokens reserved for the founders; and 651,000 tokens issued to company advisors.
Quant offers a unique interoperable blockchain operating system called Overledger, which facilitates internet-scale development of decentralized, multi-chain applications (MApps). While specific transaction speed metrics are not provided, Overledger is designed to connect multiple blockchains and networks without compromising efficiency and interoperability, enabling scalable blockchain solutions at a global level.
The provided documents do not include information regarding the environmental impact or energy consumption of the Quant (QNT) cryptocurrency.
Quant's governance involves its community handling treasury smart contracts, similar to proof-of-stake blockchain governance models. The community manages QNT payments flowing from users to gateways and ensures accountability to observers, contributing to the decentralized operation of the Overledger Network.
Quant aims to revolutionize blockchain technology by enabling seamless interoperability between different blockchains and networks globally. Its vision is to build the future digital economy ecosystem on the Overledger network, acting as the first blockchain operating system that bridges the gap between disparate blockchains, facilitating secure and efficient multi-chain applications for people, machines, and data.
