Why Does Quant Have Few Tokens Compared To Most Cryptocurrencies?
Quant has few tokens because its 2018 token sale raised far less than planned, and the company burned the unsold supply. That left a fixed total of 14,612,493 $QNT, and no new tokens can be minted.

For comparison, Chainlink has a maximum supply of 1 billion $LINK. Most of Quant's small supply is already in circulation, so there is little future dilution, meaning few new tokens will enter the market and spread out each holder's share.

How Many $QNT Tokens Exist?

The answer depends slightly on which data site you check, but every tracker lists fewer than 15 million $QNT.
Total supply: 14,612,493 $QNT, with about 14.54 million circulating, according to CoinGecko-based trackers.

CoinMarketCap: lists a maximum supply of 14,881,364 $QNT and about 12.07 million circulating.

Token standard: $QNT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum.

The 2018 Token Sale And Burn

Quant's original sale plan allowed up to about 45.47 million $QNT. The 2018 sale priced tokens at $1.10 and raised about $11 million, missing its soft cap, the minimum target a sale aims to reach. The sale created 24 million tokens. In September 2018, Quant permanently burned about 9.4 million of them. A burn sends tokens to an address nobody can access, which takes them out of supply for good.

Why a Small Supply Means a High Unit Price

Market cap equals price times circulating supply. With so few tokens, each $QNT carries a large share of the network's value. On October 8, CoinGecko data showed $LINK at about €13.07 with a market cap near $9.7 billion, while $QNT traded at about $241 with a market cap near $3.5 billion. $LINK is worth about 2.5 times more in total, even though one $QNT costs nearly 19 times more than one $LINK.

What Is $QNT Used For?

$QNT is tied to Overledger, Quant's software for banks and companies. Overledger sits above many blockchains, so a bank's app talks to one layer instead

Hackers Attack Another Bitcoin Project as Ark's Second Exploited
Per the team, “no user funds were affected.” The attack was caught within hours, and a fix has been shipped. However, the criminals kept trying to extract more from the project, resulting in a DoS attack. The team disclosed the denial-of-service attack Tuesday, warning that it could degrade Lightning Network receives on Bark-based wallets. Bark is an implementation of the Ark protocol, developed by Second.

“Design Did Its Job”

According to the team, the attackers exploited a bug in their Ark server’s boarding flow Monday. During boarding, onchain bitcoin is moved onto Ark. This process is supposed to be co-signed by their server.

“A bug let the attacker register boards with only his own signatures, then exit those boards back to his own wallet while also spending the same VTXOs out of our node via Lightning,” Second explained. Similar to UTXOs in onchain bitcoin, BTC on Ark is represented by VTXOs (Virtual Transaction Outputs) in a wallet.
According to Second, its users’ funds are safe because VTXOs are already on pre-signed exit paths and its server can’t spend them.

“The design did its job, even if we’d rather have demonstrated it another way,” the team added.

A Link to the Blink Theft

What’s more, Second said it found that the hacker tried to use bitcoin linked to the security breach of Blink Wallet on Sept. 19. However, the attacker failed to do so and had to fund the boards from their own address before exiting back to it.

The Ark Protocol is a layer-two technology for the Bitcoin network, designed for fast and cheap off-chain transactions while expanding bitcoin’s use cases. Besides Second, other teams, such as Ark Labs, are developing implementations of Ark.
