What is Quant ($QNT)?

Quant, a technology provider, delivers enterprise-grade interoperability for the secure exchange of information and digital assets across any network, platform, or protocol at scale. Quant aims to achieve universal interoperability between blockchains through its Overledger, a blockchain operating system.

Quant’s Overledger DLT Gateway is the world’s first enterprise DLT Gateway that complements and connects existing systems and DLTs, to drive innovative and efficient growth for companies, public entities, and regulatory bodies alike. Overledger allows developers to build decentralized multi-chain applications (known as MApps) for their customers.

$QNT is deployed on Ethereum and acts as the main token of the Quant ecosystem. For developers to build a Mapp on the network, they must hold a certain amount of $QNT. The cost of running the Gateways and performing read/write operations on Overledger also requires the use of the $QNT tokens.

What is unique about Quant ($QNT)?

Quant protocol consists of the following major components:

Overledger Enterprise: Overledger Network is an open network connecting a range of public and commercial DLTs, breaking down DLT silos. This helps to make DLT technology more accessible for mainstream enterprise developers.
