The value captured by $QNT is not the same as the company revenue.

All developers, all enterprise pay for access. This amount is staked/locked for the license duration.

All payments for blockchain usage hosted by RCGs are done in $QNT.

This is not company revenue.

All public chain hosting gateways stake $QNT to be allowed to process more transactions. As it’s staked collateral, ensuring correct data feed from gateways.

All mDapps integrating with each other, pay each other mDapp monetization fees in $QNT via their gateway. Permissioning is handled via mDapp IDs linked to the developer’s BPI key, for which it had to stake tokens annually.

This is effectively the revenue of Quant’s developer customers.

These mDapps can purchase digital assets from enterprise gateways, paid in $QNT. Converted to fiat.

All enterprises pay fees to move their digital assets. These fees are also staked/locked in the license period.

So lots of value streams that are not company revenue.

All staked aspects beside RCG staking turn into Quant’s property after the license expires.

But all payment flows moving between mDapps and gateways are separate. Plus the gateway collateral in $QNT of course. This is not to be underestimated. We’ll have tons of mDapps transacting digital assets across businesses in multi party fashion across ledgers and smart contracts in a standardized format.

Your CBDC or stablecoin wallet can kickstart a whole range of processes securely.

Add some AI in the mix. Some IoT.

Everything intertwined, including money for settlement.

Globally.

No need to deposit money across websites or do manual PayPal authorizations.

Sign once with your digital asset wallet. Execute all approved mDapps cross business cross border cross currency.

API gateways provide a secure and controlled environment for connecting DLTs in critical infrastructure systems, addressing security, scalability, and compliance challenges and ensure the continuity of critical services.

$QNT API gateways provide a layer of abstraction between DLTs and external systems, improving scalability and flexibility. They can also help decouple DLTs from external systems, making it easier to update or replace them.

SWIFT, in collaboration with Capgemini, needed interoperability between:
- Two permissioned DLTs; Quorum and Corda.
- Real-time gross settlement/RTGS

If every organization is going to use or connect to multiple types of DLTs..

WHY are we connecting the DLTs themselves with:
- Bridges which are insecure and unfeasible for the amount of bridges you need

- Intermediary networks introducing constraints such as..

$QNT privacy of data, speed, consensus/governance. And additional complexity such as programming languages required for each DLT.

That's like needing a phone for each friend using a different brand. And having text messages go fast to one friend and slow to another.

"we'll soon have the technology to remove foreign exchange risk from international trade without relying on an intermediating currency such as the dollar." "Their central banks will respond by jacking up interest rates to prop up their domestic currencies, but this will choke their economies at a time when they require easier, not tighter, monetary policy. Unemployment will surge and governments will topple."

The great misconception thread of $QNT.

⁃ it’s not a blockchain
⁃ mDapps do not suffer from ethereum speed and fees, Overledger Net includes a multi DLT lightning network with instant and feeless payments
⁃ $QNT can move to any chain and Overledger will still work ⁃ Interledger is not like Overledger
⁃ Overledger interoperates transactional mechanisms of DLTs while Interledger can only send money across DLTs
⁃ $QNT is not a QRC20 token, QRC20 is for commercial stablecoins and payments instead

Find out why @quant_network's @Overledger is the industry leading end-to-end DLT interoperability solution. $QNT

We will not be looking at DeFi interoperability as that is not Quant's target audience. The target audience is enterprises & governments. (VASPs)

(1/26) They won’t interoperate permissioned business networks over a crypto network like $DOT, $ATOM, $STG, $FLR, $DAG and $LINK. Why use DLT relayers or interoperability blockchains when you can do gateway to gateway directly. (VASP, not DeFi PoV)
