Token Distribution

The aim of the token distribution is to ensure healthy engagement of the protocol. A healthy protocol would be one where there is a consistently high utilization rate of the available borrowing pools balanced by an increasing lending pool. QI holders can propose improvements and collectively decide on the optimum solution for the protocol. QI tokens will be distributed in a targeted manner via Liquidity and Community Incentives to achieve a balance of high market utilization and a wide distribution of governance participants. This is subject to changes via governance as the protocol evolves and market conditions change.

Community Distribution
