QCK

The Quicksilver liquid staking protocol operates as follows: users stake their native tokens on the platform, and in return, they receive a qAsset, or a voucher representing their staked assets.

These liquid staking tokens can be used for various DeFi activities, such as participating in governance, providing liquidity to automated market maker (AMM) pools, and engaging in lending and borrowing. The protocol delivers autocompounded staking rewards, resulting in a slightly higher base APY for native assets staked on Quicksilver versus standard staking.

The genesis supply of QCK is 200,000,000 and the current total supply of QCK is 400,000,000. Inflation rates & incentives distribution are determined by community governance.

Quicksilver is committed to a fair and transparent distribution of QCK tokens. The protocol employs a continuous airdrop mechanism to ensure that all participants have an opportunity to benefit from the platform's growth. This approach promotes a fairer of assets among token holders and fosters a strong, engaged community.

The Quicksilver Chain is a decentralized, permissionless blockchain designed to support the protocol's liquid staking functions. It is secured by a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which relies on validators to produce blocks and maintain the network's security. Validators enter the active set based on the amount of QCK tokens they have staked and their reputation within the ecosystem.

Built on the Cosmos SDK, Quicksilver leverages the high-speed Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol for seamless interactions between different blockchains. As more chains adopt the IBC, Quicksilver will scale to meet demand, expanding its utility and applicability across various ecosystems.
