Utility

The Utility of the Quartz Token will come from Transactions and Staking

Transaction Payments

The number of transactions will be proportional to the complexity of applications and will be paid to the treasury.

NFT Transactions: Pre-defined fee per NFT transaction (e.g. 0.1 QTZ).
Smart Contract Transactions: Depending on the complexity of the dApps, each smart contract transaction will be charged at a pre-determined rate (e.g., 0.2 QTZ).

Staking

Staking on Quartz tokens will support several functions including:

App Promotion Staking
Smart Contract Endowment
Reputation Staking
Vote Staking (Governance)

NB: The treasury will cover various elements, including costs of parachain lease auctions, sponsored transactions, and other community activities. The treasury will become decentralized over time, becoming a sustainable governance structure that supports the growth and security of the ecosystem. The increase in the supply of treasury will support inflation.
