Quant Network
On November 7, 2013, Dutch gold observer and financial researcher Jan Nieuwenhuijs tweeted a line that aged remarkably well: “Today, I advise everyone buy at least 1 $BTC. Risk: loose $300, potential: earn $10,000”. At the time, $BTC was trading around $300.
Now, thirteen years later, he is echoing that same call with $QNT, just as $QNT Staking moves closer to launch and Quant expands deeper into global financial infrastructure.
🪂 $QNT Staking & Node Rewards
$QNT has been trading since 2018, after Quant launched its public ICO at around $1.51 per token and reportedly raised about $11 million. Today, $QNT trades across major exchanges.
Its original utility is tied to Overledger, where $QNT is used for access, licensing and infrastructure services. That utility is now extending into Quant Fusion, Quant’s multi-ledger infrastructure for execution and settlement across different blockchain networks.
According to the 2026 Quant MiCA whitepaper, $QNT deposited into Fusion’s Multi-Ledger Rollup is used to pay transaction fees. The framework also introduces staking, with permitted Fusion nodes able to earn $QNT rewards subject to a staking requirement, while Quant’s official documentation references “Staking QNT, earning rewards, unlocking higher tiers”.
The staking model is confirmed, but the final economics are not. Quant has not yet published the minimum stake, reward rate, tier thresholds, lock period or final staking configuration, while the whitepaper notes that staking parameters remain subject to testing and change.
About Quant Network
At the heart of Quant is Overledger, an interoperability platform built to connect blockchains, banks, payment systems and existing financial infrastructure through a common layer.
Instead of asking institutions to rebuild around one blockchain, Overledger is designed to let different networks, APIs and legacy systems communicate with each other.
That model has already placed Quant inside several major financial initiatives, including Project Rosalind, the Bank of England and BIS Innovation Hub experiment exploring APIs for a retail CBDC, as well as the European Central Bank’s digital euro programme.
Quant also provides infrastructure for the UK’s tokenised sterling deposits initiative, involving major banks including Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, NatWest, Nationwide and Santander.
In September 2026, The Clearing House selected Quant for its On-Chain Money Initiative, where Quant will provide interoperability, orchestration and transaction management connecting tokenised commercial-bank money with US payment rails including RTP and CHIPS.
Behind the company is founder and CEO Gilbert Verdian, whose background spans cybersecurity, government and finance. His experience connecting separate systems helped inspire Quant’s interoperability approach, as reported in 2019 by Forbes.

Step by step guide Quant Network
-
Create a Quant Connect account
Start at Quant Connect and create an account to access Overledger.
→ Register with your email address and complete the account setup.
→ Sign in and familiarise yourself with the Quant Connect dashboard.
→ Complete any identity or compliance checks requested by Quant.
💡 Note: Quant’s Terms and Conditions cover AML and sanctions checks and list Onfido for identity checking and KYC. The services are also described as intended for business use.
-
Set up a public node
Follow Quant’s official Start Here documentation, then go to My Networks → Node Manager in Quant Connect.
→ Choose the network you want to connect.
→ Add a node endpoint from a supported provider such as Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode, Chainstack, GetBlock, Blockdaemon or Ankr.
→ Complete Quant’s required checks and add the node to Overledger’s shared routing infrastructure.
💡 Note: Self-service public nodes currently support EVM, Solana, Cosmos, Sui, Hedera and Aptos. Quant’s upcoming staking documentation is specifically aimed at users running a public Overledger node and staking $QNT as part of that setup.
-
Prepare your $QNT
$QNT will be required for staking once Quant releases the feature.
→ $QNT is available on major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, Kraken, MEXC and Bitget.
→ If you plan to build a position ahead of staking, you can accumulate $QNT gradually through DCA rather than buying everything at once.
→ Quant has not yet announced the minimum stake or tier requirements.
💡 Quant’s documentation already references “Staking QNT, earning rewards, unlocking higher tiers”, but the reward rate, lock period and final staking requirements are still unknown.
-
Follow the $QNT staking rollout
Quant has not announced a launch date for $QNT staking. The next confirmed milestone is testnet $QNT Staking inside Quant Connect.
→ Check Quant Connect when the testnet becomes available.
→ Follow @QuantNetwork on 𝕏 and Quant News for the official rollout announcement.
→ Review the minimum stake, rewards, tiers and lock conditions before committing $QNT.
⚠️ Warning: Beware of phishing links and fake $QNT staking pages.
* $QNT staking adds another utility layer to a token with a maximum supply of about 14.6 million $QNT. With Fusion live and staking, node rewards and higher tiers already documented, the next key step is seeing how Quant structures the final economics around such a limited supply.
