It is the asset through which ecosystem incentives are distributed, through which governance is exercised as control decentralizes, and through which strategic partners and contributors participate in the protocol's direction. QFI is not required to lend or borrow, and it does not entitle the holder to loan interest — lender yield is paid in the settlement asset and flows to lenders, not to token holders. QFI may, however, be posted as collateral by delegates on the same terms as other accepted collateral assets, which means its price is directly connected to the health of any facility collateralized with it. Its underlying value derives from its fixed, non-inflationary supply and from its role in coordinating and governing the protocol, not from a redirection of credit revenue. **Supply** QFI has a fixed maximum supply of 5,000,000 tokens. The current supply is the result of a permanent reduction. QFI launched with an original supply of 10,000,000 and 5,000,000 tokens — half of the total — were burned in a single, irreversible transaction recorded on TRON. The burn is verifiable on-chain. | Property | Value | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Maximum supply | 5,000,000 QFI (fixed) | | Original supply | 10,000,000 QFI | | Burned | 5,000,000 QFI (50%) | | Minting after launch | None | | Staking / farming emissions | None | | Burn transaction | [*https://tronscan.org/transaction/444f789f69828fcf1464a36cf04abe0ad69c0a69aed3205258a7feb4e7a8ec71/overview*](https://tronscan.org/transaction/444f789f69828fcf1464a36cf04abe0ad69c0a69aed3205258a7feb4e7a8ec71/overview) | A fixed cap with a verifiable, one-time 50% burn and no ongoing emissions means QFI holders are never diluted by new issuance. Supply is deterministic: the 5,000,000 that exist today are all that will ever exist. **Multi-chain supply** QFI is deployed across two networks, with a single aggregate supply of 5,000,000 spanning both. TRON carries the primary operating supply of 4,000,000 QFI and is where the original supply was issued and the burn was recorded. BNB Chain carries 1,000,000 QFI and broadens access across the BNB ecosystem. Movement between chains does not create new tokens; the aggregate remains fixed. | Network | Standard | Supply | Contract | Decimals | | --------- | -------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | | TRON | TRC-20 | 4,000,000 QFI | [TMVnKncD9NhAYEPoR6EutBrAKi8x6oZdR6](https://tronscan.org/token20/TMVnKncD9NhAYEPoR6EutBrAKi8x6oZdR6/transfers) | *18* | | BNB Chain | BEP-20 | 1,000,000 QFI | [0xe4441fD882EA8807Eb9B4278398cb4584724EA16](https://bscscan.com/token/0xe4441fd882ea8807eb9b4278398cb4584724ea16#transactions) | *18* | **Allocation** The 5,000,000 total supply is allocated across nine categories, split by network. All percentages below are shown **as a share of the total 5,000,000 supply**, not as a share of each chain's individual subtotal. Circulating supply at publication is 1,500,000 QFI — 30% of the maximum. | Bucket | TRON | % of total supply | BNB Chain | % of total supply | | -------------------------------------------- | ------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ----------------- | | Circulating | 1,000,000 | 20% | 500,000 | 10% | | Ecosystem Development | 500,000 | 10% | 150,000 | 3% | | Strategic Investments | 500,000 | 10% | 150,000 | 3% | | Protocol Treasury | 450,000 | 9% | 100,000 | 2% | | Marketing & Community | 400,000 | 8% | 50,000 | 1% | | Institutional Partnerships | 350,000 | 7% | 25,000 | 0.5% | | Cross-Chain Expansion | 350,000 | 7% | — | — | | Business Development | 250,000 | 5% | 15,000 | 0.3% | | Team & Advisors | 200,000 | 4% | 10,000 | 0.2% | | **Total (TRON: 4,000,000 · BNB: 1,000,000)** | **4,000,000** | **80%** | **1,000,000** | **20%** | **Release and vesting schedule** Allocations enter circulation on a defined schedule rather than all at once. The categories intended for long-term alignment — team, advisors, strategic investments, and institutional partnerships in particular — are the ones a holder most wants visibility into, and the schedule below sets out the cliff and release for each.

**Utility and value** QFI's utility is coordination and governance, and it grows with the protocol. Today the token funds ecosystem incentives, anchors strategic participation, and may be posted by delegates as collateral on the same terms as other accepted assets. As governance decentralizes, QFI becomes the instrument through which holders direct the protocol. Its economic foundation is a fixed, deflationary-by-construction supply that cannot be diluted — though, as noted under the Indicative Risk Matrix, its acceptance as collateral means QFI-specific price volatility is a real factor in facility-level risk, not something the token's fixed supply insulates against. Quantix does not represent QFI as a claim on protocol revenue. Lender yield is paid in the settlement asset and flows to lenders, not to token holders. Any future mechanism that would link protocol performance to QFI — for example a fee-funded buyback or a staking model — would be introduced through governance and specified here in full before it took effect. Until such a mechanism exists, QFI's value rests on its supply, its utility, and its role in the ecosystem, and this documentation describes it on those terms
