What problem does Overledger solve?
Every blockchain — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperledger Fabric, Corda — speaks its own protocol. To build an app that uses several at once, a developer normally has to integrate each one separately and maintain that integration as each network evolves. Overledger abstracts that complexity behind one interface, so a single application can move data and value across any supported chain without bespoke integration work.
Where does QNT fit in?
Overledger is licensed software. Enterprises and developers pay for an annual licence priced in fiat, and they need to lock up an equivalent value in QNT for the duration of the licence. When the licence ends, the QNT is released back. Gas fees on Overledger are also paid in QNT.
Two consequences fall out of that design: usage drives demand for QNT, and the locked portion of supply is removed from the trading float for the licence term.
Why such a small supply?
With a hard cap of 14,612,493 QNT, the token was designed for utility rather than payment volume. A small cap means each token represents a larger share of total Overledger usage rights, which fits the enterprise-licence model better than a high-inflation token would.
Who built it?
Quant Network was founded by Gilbert Verdian. Verdian is also the founder of the ISO/TC 307 blockchain standards committee, which sets international standards for blockchain technology — a background that has shaped Quant's enterprise-first positioning from the beginning.
