8. Tokenomics (QGD)

The QGD token is the economic engine of the QuantumGround ecosystem. It powers the AI-based application builder, incentivizes community contributions, enables module monetization, and governs protocol evolution. Designed with long-term sustainability in mind, QGD ensures that value is distributed fairly among creators, developers, curators, and users.

8.4 Token Sink Mechanisms

To ensure long-term deflationary pressure and ecosystem sustainability, QuantumGround includes the following QGD sink mechanisms:

  • Prompt Usage Fees: Small QGD fee per prompt processed by AI

  • Module Unlock Fees: Users pay QGD to access premium or complex modules

  • Deployment Fees: One-time or recurring deployment payments

  • DAO Proposal Fees: Cost to submit on-chain proposals

  • Burn Mechanics: A portion of all usage fees is sent to a burn address


8.5 Incentive Loops

  • Create to Earn: Developers who build Ground Modules earn QGD every time their code is reused

  • Remix to Earn: Creators receive a portion of fees when others fork/remix their deployed app

  • Use to Earn: Active users earn QGD for engaging with apps, leaving feedback, or helping the AI train better


8.6 Token Distribution Principles

QuantumGround is designed to avoid speculative hype cycles and ensure real utility and retention:

  • Utility-first: QGD is needed to use and scale the system

  • Builder-centric: Rewards flow to contributors and creators

  • Long-term aligned: No instant unlocks for team or early investors

  • Community-driven: Governance power is open to all holders


The QGD token is more than a currency—it is the key to accessing, governing, and co-owning the next generation of AI-powered Web3 development infrastructure.
