Q Protocol Public Sale

What is Q Protocol ?

The Q Protocol is based on a simple yet powerful insight: +90% of all economic activity depends on subjective rules.

This has been proven by Nobel-Prize-winning economists Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmström.

Because blockchains can only handle objective rules, their potential to create value is inherently limited. Q addresses this problem heads-on: By introducing the novel concept of Shared Governance Security, Q dramatically improves the security of existing web3 projects.

Even more importantly, Q enables novel business models that operate on the basis of subjective rules in a fully decentralized way. By taking crypto beyond the limits of code-is-law, Q unlocks infinite possibilities for decentralized systems.

Traction and Ecosystem

The Q Protocol is live, fully functional with all infrastructure components in place.

Today, more than 25 projects have already opted-in to Q’s governance services. These projects pay governance fees for the service they receive, which are distributed to Q stakeholders, including QGOV token holders.

In total, more than 130 projects are building on and with Q.

Token Utility

At the heart of Q Protocol’s functionality lies the Q token (QGOV). Serving as the native asset of the Q blockchain, QGOV tokens offer the following key utilities to token holders:

1. Governance Fees: For their participation in the Q governance framework, QGOV token holders receive a share of the governance fees paid by protocols and projects that build on Q or use Q's governance features.

2. Staking: Q token holders can earn rewards by contributing to the security of the network. They can do this either by locking their tokens in the Q Vault or by using the in-protocol delegation feature to stake their tokens with a validator.

3. Governance Participation: Actively shape the future of the Q Protocol proposing or voting on changes to the Q Constitution, electing new root nodes, and making decisions related to expert panels.

4. Fees: QGOV tokens are used for paying transaction fees and governance fees on the network and can be used in many of the applications building on Q.

Additionally, QGOV token holders can participate in incentive programs to earn extra rewards. You can find QGOV token incentive programs here:

Roadmap

Major roadmap topics for Q include:

• module for restaking services providing secure and legally sound slashing frameworks;

• shared security solutions for specific use cases, e.g. AI, DeSci and RWA.
