QTO Token
The QTO token is the native utility and settlement asset of Quanto.trade.
Role of $QTO
The QTO token is the native utility and settlement asset of Quanto.trade. It plays a foundational role in powering the platform’s trading, liquidity, and incentive systems. QTO is deeply integrated into the mechanics of Quanto.trade, enabling seamless trading, fee optimization, and liquidity provisioning
QTO Utility
QTO serves as the backbone of the Quanto ecosystem. It is used for:
Collateral for Perpetual Trading: QTO is the default settlement and margin asset for all trades on Quanto.trade. All positions, PnL, and margin requirements are denominated in QTO.
Fee Optimization: Traders who hold QTO in their wallet benefit from reduced trading fees, incentivizing active participation and token retention.
Liquidity Provisioning (QLP): Users can deposit QTO into the QLP (Quanto Liquidity Provider) pool. In return, they receive QLP tokens, which:
Automatically earn QLP rewards from platform fees.
Can be used as collateral while trading, enabling users to earn passive yield and actively trade with the same underlying capital—functionality unique to QTO.
Tokenomics
The QTO token follows a deflationary economic model designed to reward contributors, reduce supply over time, and support sustainable ecosystem growth.
Fee Distribution
All protocol fees generated on Quanto.trade are distributed as follows:
70% Burned: Permanently removed from supply via on-chain burns, directly reducing the circulating supply and enhancing long-term value.
30% Allocated to QLP Rewards: Paid out to QLP stakers in proportion to their contribution, providing consistent incentives for liquidity providers.
Treasury
A portion of the $QTO supply is reserved in the treasury to backstop the Quanto Liquidity Provider (QLP) and potentially support community incentive programs. Full transparency around this allocation is maintained through our Proof of Reserves and Token Analytics pages.
These treasury tokens are not for sale, and the mint function has been permanently revoked, ensuring the supply cannot be expanded.
Additionally, treasury tokens may be burned at the team’s discretion if deemed unnecessary for QLP backstops or incentive initiatives.
