Quant (QNT) is the native token of Quant Network, a London-based project that built Overledger, a platform it describes as a blockchain operating system designed to connect multiple, otherwise incompatible blockchains with one another and with traditional networks. The core problem it addresses is interoperability: today most blockchains cannot communicate or share data directly, which limits what developers can build across them. Quant Network targets enterprises, developers, and institutions that need to write applications spanning several blockchains without being locked into a single vendor or chain.
Overledger sits as a layer above existing blockchains — including those in the Ethereum ecosystem — acting as an intermediary that reads and writes to multiple ledgers simultaneously. QNT tokens are required to access the Overledger network, meaning developers and enterprises must hold or spend QNT to license access to the platform's multi-chain application programming interfaces. The token itself lives on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, and the underlying network uses Ethash as its referenced consensus algorithm, though settlement of transactions ultimately happens on whatever underlying chains Overledger connects.
The data stored for this asset does not include a recorded fee stream, revenue figure, or protocol earnings, so fee-based measures are not available on this page. QNT's economic model is based on access licensing — entities pay in QNT to use Overledger — but the flow of those fees, who collects them, and what the protocol retains are not captured in the metrics provided here. What is known is that 99.53 percent of the maximum supply of 14,612,493 tokens is already in circulation as of the point-in-time measurement, leaving a dilution overhang of roughly 0.47 percent, meaning very little additional supply remains to be issued.
