Quant (QNT) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Quant (QNT) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence QNT price performance.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
QNT is an ERC‑20 utility token on Ethereum that provides access to Overledger services. A defining piece of Quant tokenomics is its low, fixed supply and the way licenses and services tie into QNT. After the 2018 token burn, the post‑burn total supply has been widely reported around 14.6 million QNT, creating structural scarcity. On-chain references also document the September 14, 2018 burn event. (etherscan.io)
How QNT is used
- Licenses and platform access: Users and enterprises obtain Overledger licenses. For developer plans, Quant has publicly stated fees are payable in QNT; enterprise plans can pay a fiat amount that is converted to QNT by Quant’s treasury processes. In both cases, the equivalent QNT is associated with access for the license period. (quant.network)
- Secure smart contracts and transactions: Overledger’s APIs expose secure smart contract deployment and other actions that reference QNT within the platform’s gateways and ecosystem. Quant’s terms also reference QNT usage and staking within its services. (quant.network)
A commonly discussed effect is that license-linked QNT can be held for the duration of the license period, reducing active float while the services are in use. As more developers and enterprises adopt Overledger, this dynamic, plus the fixed supply, is often cited by analysts as a factor that could impact the QNT price. While the exact breakdown evolves as Quant enhances plans, the repeated theme is that Overledger access and usage are natively tied to the QNT token. (quant.network)
Assumptions
- Founders and Advisors & Staff allocations were subject to a 12-month vesting starting from the Token Distribution Date (2018-06-25), modeled here as a 12-month cliff unlocking on 2019-06-25.
Multiple ICO reviews documented a 12-month vesting for founders/advisors; no surviving primary lockup schedule found. Using simplest cliff model to avoid overfitting.
- Company Reserve was available at TGE without vesting.
ICO materials describe reserve for operations with no explicit lock; Etherscan shows no vesting mechanics. Modeled as fully available at TGE.
- Total supply is fixed at 14,612,493.080826178 QNT after the September 14, 2018 burn; burned/unsold tokens never entered circulation and are excluded from allocations.
Etherscan token page burn information provides exact post-burn totals and split between public and company-held tokens.
- QNT has no PoW/PoS or protocol inflation; no ongoing issuance mechanisms exist.
QNT is an ERC-20 with fixed post-burn supply; official contract listing and documentation show no minting or network issuance mechanisms.
- A fractional remainder (0.049010808 QNT) of the company total has been attributed to the Company Reserve bucket to reconcile precise Etherscan totals with commonly cited integer sub-buckets.
Public sources list reserve/founders/advisors in integers summing to company total rounded; Etherscan provides exact decimals for the aggregate company holdings.
