Quantus Tokenomics & Launch Allocation
Overview
Quantus has a fixed maximum supply of 21,000,000 QUAN. The token is issued through a combination of an initial Token Generation Event (TGE) and long-term Proof-of-Work mining. This structure is designed to avoid pre-mining, minimize insider advantages, and align long-term network security with user participation.
Token Supply
- Maximum Supply: 21,000,000 QUAN
- TGE Minted Supply: 6,300,000 QUAN (30%)
- Mining Emissions: 14,700,000 QUAN (70%) over ~40 years
The mining emission follows an exponentially decaying block reward curve, meaning issuance is higher in the early years and gradually slows over time as supply approaches the maximum.
Launch Allocation (TGE)
The following tokens are minted and distributed at the Token Generation Event:
| Category | % of Supply | QUAN |
|---|---|---|
| Private Sale | 15% | 3,150,000 |
| Public Sale | 10% | 2,100,000 |
| DEX Liquidity | 5% | 1,050,000 |
| Total at TGE | 30% | 6,300,000 |
All private and public sale tokens are fully liquid at launch. There are no investor lockups or vesting schedules.
Mining-Based Distribution (70%)
The remaining 70% of supply — 14,700,000 QUAN — is distributed through Proof-of-Work mining over approximately 40 years.
Final ownership of mining emissions:
| Recipient | % of Total Supply |
|---|---|
| Miners | 35% |
| Community | 25% |
| Team & Advisors | 10% |
Team & Community Alignment
Quantus does not pre-mine or reserve tokens for the team.
Instead, the team is compensated through mining rewards:
- For the first 4 years, 50% of block rewards are allocated to the team and advisors (this acts as protocol-level vesting).
- The remaining 50% goes to miners.
- After year 4, the team's share is redirected to a community fund, which gradually accumulates 25% of the total supply over the remaining emission period.
Fees & Burning
To support long-term network security, wormhole transactions incur a 0.1% volume fee:
- 50% is paid to miners
- 50% is burned
This introduces deflationary pressure as network usage grows.
