# QFI Tokenomics

### **Executive Overview**

QFI is the native asset of Quantix Finance, a structured on-chain credit protocol designed to facilitate capital allocation across digital asset markets.

The token model was originally established in 2023 and has been maintained with a focus on supply discipline, capital alignment, and controlled market participation.

The design avoids inflationary mechanics and short-term incentive structures. Instead, QFI follows a deterministic issuance schedule, where circulating supply increases in line with:

* Protocol growth
* Liquidity requirements
* Ecosystem expansion

This approach ensures that token distribution remains predictable, transparent, and non-disruptive to market structure.

### **Supply**

* Total Supply: 10,000,000 QFI
* Supply Type: Fixed (non-inflationary)
* Additional Minting: None

All tokens are pre-allocated and distributed according to predefined categories and release schedules.

### **Allocation Framework**

The QFI supply is allocated across five primary categories:

| Category                         | Allocation | %   |
| -------------------------------- | ---------- | --- |
| Foundation / Protocol Reserve    | 5,000,000  | 50% |
| Orderbook Management & Liquidity | 1,000,000  | 10% |
| Marketing                        | 1,000,000  | 10% |
| Strategic Investments            | 2,000,000  | 20% |
| Team & Advisors                  | 1,000,000  | 10% |

Each allocation is structured to support a specific function within the protocol while maintaining balanced distribution and minimized concentration risk.

### **Circulating Supply at Launch**

* Initial Circulating Supply: 1,000,000 QFI (10%)

Circulating supply at TGE is intentionally limited and introduced through a controlled distribution mechanism.

Allocation is split between:

* Existing ecosystem participants, ensuring continuity and alignment
* Exchange liquidity provisioning, enabling functional trading environments

No tokens are released via uncontrolled emissions, public farming, or unstructured distribution.

This ensures:

* Stable initial market conditions
* Controlled price discovery
* Absence of immediate supply overhang

### **Token Generation Event (TGE)**

At TGE, a limited portion of supply is unlocked to initialize liquidity:

* Total Unlocked: 1,000,000 QFI

Breakdown:

* 500,000 QFI — Foundation / Protocol Reserve
* 500,000 QFI — Orderbook Management & Liquidity

This release is designed to establish baseline liquidity without introducing excess float into the market.

### **Vesting & Distribution Schedule**

#### **Phase 1 — Months 2 to 18**

* Total Released: 5,950,000 QFI
* Monthly Release: 350,000 QFI

Distribution:

* Foundation: 3,000,000
* Orderbook Management & Liquidity: 500,000
* Marketing: 450,000
* Strategic Investments: 2,000,000 *(unlock begins Month 12)*

This phase represents the primary distribution window, with supply entering circulation in a linear and predictable manner.

#### **Phase 2 — Months 19 to 24**

* Total Released: 2,050,000 QFI

Distribution:

* Foundation: 1,500,000 *(250,000/month)*
* Marketing: 550,000 *(92,500/month)*

This phase supports continued ecosystem growth while maintaining controlled supply expansion.

#### **Phase 3 — Month 25**

* Team & Advisors Unlock: 1,000,000 QFI
* Lock Period: 24 months
* Cliff: Full unlock at end of period

There are no interim unlocks for team allocation.

### **Emission Characteristics**

QFI emissions follow a fully predefined schedule, with no discretionary or variable token issuance.

Key characteristics:

* Linear distribution across defined timeframes
* No inflationary rewards or farming emissions
* No early unlock mechanisms
* No hidden allocations or discretionary releases

This ensures:

* Predictable supply growth
* Reduced volatility from unlock events
* Transparency for market participants

### Market Structure & Liqu**idity Design**

Liquidity provisioning is handled through a dedicated allocation, ensuring that:

* Orderbooks remain sufficiently deep across venues
* Spreads remain competitive
* Market impact from trading activity is minimized

Distribution into the market is managed to avoid:

* Sudden liquidity shocks
* Concentrated sell-side pressure
* Dislocation between circulating and available float

This structure is aligned with institutional liquidity standards, rather than retail-driven market formation.

### **Alignment & Supply Discipline**

All major stakeholder groups are subject to structured constraints:

* Team: 24-month lock, no early access
* Investors: Delayed unlock + staged vesting
* Foundation: Controlled, programmatic deployment
* Marketing & Liquidity: Usage-based distribution

This ensures that:

* No participant group has disproportionate early access to liquidity
* Supply expansion is aligned with real protocol activity
* Long-term incentives are preserved across all stakeholders

### **Wallet Transparency**

All primary allocations are publicly verifiable:
