Quant QNT

What QNT actually is on-chain

Quant is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x4a220e6096b25eadb88358cb44068a3248254675. That address, not the ticker QNT, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself QNT, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, QNT is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in QNT itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For QNT the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @quant_network. Both a written specification and readable code exist, which is a materially higher bar than most assets in this size range clear. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where QNT sits in the market

At #67, Quant sits in the bottom of the large-cap band, adjacent to the mid-cap cut-off. Down here the large-cap label is doing less work than it appears to. QNT is one revision away from the mid-cap band, and the practical consequences of crossing that line — index eligibility, market-maker commitments, how much size the book absorbs — change well before the ranking does.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 4 live QNT order books (Binance, Gate.io, MEXC, HTX). That is thinner coverage than a #67 ranking would normally imply — a move on one of these books is close to the whole market for QNT, with no deep second venue to arbitrage it back. None of the books we see for QNT are regulated US or Korean venues, so this is an offshore-quoted asset — availability, and the price itself, depend on which jurisdiction you trade from.

QNT against its all-time high

QNT has given back 54.9% from its $427.42 high (on 2021-09-11). Recovery now needs 2.22x — a full trend, not a bounce. Statistically this is the depth at which the reference point people quote shifts: the prior high stops being a target and starts being a ceiling that gets mentioned only after price has already run. It was set 5 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

QNT across its historical range

QNT has traded across a 1,981x range, between $0.2158 and $427.42. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

At 894x above the $0.2158 record low (on 2018-08-23), long-term holders sit on returns large enough that ordinary drawdowns do not change their behaviour. Distribution pressure here is a function of holder age, not of the current chart.

QNT supply structure

QNT has a hard cap of 14.6 million QNT, with 14.5 million of it already in circulation — 99.5% issued. Issuance is effectively finished, so there is no scheduled dilution: every future change in market value has to come from price, not from supply mechanics. That removes one of the two variables you would otherwise have to track.

What kind of asset QNT is

Quant sits in the real-world-asset category, where the token is a claim on or a representation of something held off-chain. That makes the relevant risks custodial and regulatory rather than purely market-driven: attestation quality, the identity of the custodian and the legal enforceability of redemption matter more than the chart. RWA assets also tend to move on regulatory news cycles that have nothing to do with the broader crypto tape.

CoinGecko files QNT under 5 categories, including Infrastructure, Ethereum Ecosystem, Real World Assets (RWA), Energi Ecosystem, Coinbase 50 Index. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network. Worth flagging from the metadata: QNT is a constituent of the Coinbase 50 Index.

How to set a Quant alert that is worth receiving
