Quantum Tokens
Tokens that vote by conviction through markets
Quantum Tokens are the building blocks of self-governing organisations . Unlike previous generic tokens with limited voting rights, they use Decision Markets to decide the direction of a project.
Decision through Superposition
When a Decision Market opens, Quantum Tokens earn their namesake. Each token splits into multiple conditional versions, one for each possible outcome that the qORG is voting on.
Say there's a proposal with three options: A, B, and C. Your 100 tokens become 100 "if-A" tokens, 100 "if-B" tokens, and 100 "if-C" tokens. Each conditional token trades at its own price depending on what the market believes the token price will be were this option to execute.
When the market resolves, conditional tokens for the winning outcome convert back to real tokens 1:1. The losing conditional tokens become worthless.
For more information, see the Decision Markets section.
Standards of Quantum Tokens
Quantum Tokens use a few standards together:
- ERC-20 for the base token
- ERC-6909 for conditional tokens (multi-token standard)
- CPMM pools for trading conditional tokens
When a market opens, you deposit Quantum Tokens and get conditional tokens minted for each outcome. Those trade in their own pools. At resolution, winning tokens redeem 1:1.
