7/N
Now the leads, storywise from my POV📖
Before we start some key 🔑 info here is needed to see the whole picture:
$QNT = integrated and the default interoperability solution of Oracle Blockchain Platform (OBP), after Microsoft the biggest software provider in the🌎🔥
According to the Oracles Blockchain Chief $QNT Overledger is used with many clients. Besides KPMG (big😉) we don’t get a lot of info (nature of enterprise).
Gilbert (CEO) confirmed that since the Oracle Certification they been busy keeping up with demand📈
So we have:
- $QNT as Oracle default interop solution
- Oracle blog about $QNT naming GSBN (client) & Contour
- Team swamped with Oracle client demand after certification
But to be 100% sure we need one more thing. A link between $QNT and Contour
And bamm, there it was🔥
13/N
It all made sense when seeing this last missing link. I have zero doubt, both GSBN and Contour are part of OVN, the network of networks💪🏻
Extremely bullish and huge entities that 99% of crypto can’t even dream of…💭
LETS CONTINUE
14/N
Network #3: Tradelens.
This week new info came to light after a new #ODAP draft with MIT.
They literally named Tradelens when routing data accross DLTs and ecosystems✅
Add in an old team slide from 2020 and safe to say Tradelens =part of OVN🙌🏼
3,1 billion events🤯(📸4)
15/N
Oh and Tradelens partnered with Contour this week✅
Don’t wanna jump to conclusions on this partnership but wouldn’t suprise me if $QNT is involved💁♂️
ALMOST THERE… some final tweets regarding Quant Network and Trade Finance🧵

2/9
What does Quant has to do with MOBI❓
Quant joined MOBI in 2018:
Gilbert Verdian (QNT CEO)🗣️back then:
"Our Overledger operating system will enable interconnectivity and interoperability of data between manufacturers, devices, transportation and autonomous vehicles.”
$QNT, the only project in the world 🌎 to have solved all 5 ingredients of interoperability.
A mini 🧵👇on the different ingredients.
1. INTEGRATE with existing business systems — Businesses aren’t going to replace their existing applications for new blockchain ones, they need to integrate with their existing systems.
2. INITIATE Payments on existing rails or blockchain rails — Needs to be able to make a payment / settlement using a wide variety of existing payment rails (off chain) as well as blockchain rails, ensuring delivery vs payment can be achieved with certainty that they have happened
@DrakeLinked@linkchainlink Read up mate. Quant connects the hyperledger / corda is this world.
1 dapp by 1 client = bigger than whole usage today of link. See tweet.
