Deep Dive
1. Purpose
Blockchains and financial systems often operate separately, making it difficult to move data or coordinate applications across them. Quant’s goal is to bridge these systems so developers and organizations can build applications that use multiple networks. CoinMarketCap
2. Overledger
Quant’s main product, Overledger, acts as middleware: software that helps different systems communicate without replacing their underlying networks. It supports multichain applications, which can interact with more than one blockchain. Quant therefore focuses on interoperability rather than running a single blockchain of its own. CoinMarketCap
3. QNT token
QNT is an Ethereum based token associated with access to Quant services, including Overledger licences and fees. However, Quant customers may have other payment options, and a business using Quant’s technology does not necessarily have to hold QNT directly. QNT is a utility token, not company equity.

Conclusion
Quant is an interoperability software project: Overledger connects separate networks, while QNT is a token used in parts of its service model. How might Overledger make it easier for systems on different blockchains to work together?
