How QUANTS works.

A coin and an NFT collection, bound by a fixed exchange rate. Quants are Metaplex Core assets on Solana; coins are launched on Meteora; rewards are tokenized stocks.

The models

Every coin is created on Meteora with a vault of its own, a Metaplex Core collection and its first NFTs, all in the launch request. The model decides what the coin does for its holders:

Quants

Token per NFT

A collection swappable for the coin at a fixed rate. Quants outside the pool earn tokenized stocks every workday, weighted by rank.

  1. Hire or mint a quant for a fixed amount of the coin
  2. Every workday the payroll buys five stocks for every quant outside the pool
  3. Promote for a bigger share, or sell back any time
Index

Quants on any basket

Same mechanics as Quants, but the payroll buys a basket you choose: Bitcoin, Ethereum, SOL, gold, stables or stocks, 1 to 8 assets.

  1. Pick 1-8 assets from the registry at launch
  2. Hire or mint a quant for a fixed amount of the coin
  3. Every workday the payroll buys the basket for every quant outside the pool
Stream

The liquidity is an NFT

One NFT receives everything the coin earns, paid out every 3 minutes. Anyone can take it at any moment for a price that rises with every purchase.

  1. Take the stream NFT: 0.1 SOL the first time, +0.1 SOL every purchase
  2. Every 3 minutes the payout goes to whoever holds it
  3. Get outbid before a payout and you get nothing back
Lottery

One holder takes the pot

The coin's earnings fill a pot. Every 15 minutes one holder, drawn at random weighted by balance, takes the whole pot and a Winning Ticket NFT. Draws are seeded by a finalized blockhash.

  1. Hold at least 0.01% of the supply to be in the draw
  2. Every 15 minutes the pot goes to one holder, odds proportional to balance
  3. Winners get a Winning Ticket NFT with the round and the pot on it
Dividends

Payouts to every holder

Every hour the pot is paid in SOL to every holder, pro rata. Holders above 0.5% of the supply get a Shareholder NFT that doubles their share.

  1. Hold at least 0.02% of the supply
  2. Every hour the pot is paid pro rata in SOL, straight to your wallet
  3. Cross 0.5% of the supply and a Shareholder NFT doubles your weight
Burn

The pot buys the dip and burns

The pot buys the coin back whenever the price is 5% under its 1-hour high (or at least once an hour) and burn it. The top 10 holders of every burn round get a Burner NFT.

  1. Earnings accumulate in the vault
  2. On a 5% dip (or every hour) the vault buys the coin and burns it
  3. Top holders at each burn receive a Burner NFT
Milestone

The pot unlocks at market caps

The pot stays locked until the market cap crosses the next milestone; then it is paid pro rata to holders and the top holders get a Milestone NFT. Default milestones: 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500 SOL.

  1. Earnings lock into the pot
  2. The market cap crosses a milestone: the pot is paid pro rata to holders
  3. Top holders at that moment get the Milestone NFT
Creator

Payouts to a wallet, badges to backers

The pot goes every hour to a wallet the launcher chooses (a founder, a charity, a treasury). The top 25 holders receive Backer NFTs.

  1. The launcher sets the receiving wallet
  2. Every hour the pot is sent there
  3. Top holders get a Backer NFT
King of the Hill

Biggest buy wears the crown

The crown NFT goes to whoever makes the biggest single buy of the day and streams the coin's earnings to its holder while they keep it. Buys are read straight from the pool. The bar resets at every round.

  1. Buy the coin from any aggregator
  2. Beat the biggest single buy of the round and the crown moves to you
  3. The crown holder is paid every 5 minutes
Mercenary

The crown follows the last buy

No keys, no bids: the crown belongs to whoever made the last buy above the minimum. Keep buying to keep it.

  1. Any buy of at least 0.1 SOL takes the crown
  2. The crown holder is paid every 5 minutes
  3. Someone buys after you: the crown is theirs
Auction

Bid for a day of the crown

Every day the crown is auctioned. Bids are escrowed in the coin's vault and refunded when outbid; the winner is paid everything the coin earns the next day.

  1. Bid at least 10% over the top bid; outbid bidders are refunded at once
  2. When the round ends the top bidder gets the crown
  3. The crown holder is paid every 5 minutes for a day
Guilds

Your guild's volume wins the pot

Holders join one of the guilds (membership NFT). Every hour the guild whose members bought the most takes the whole pot, split pro rata among its members.

  1. Join a guild for 0.005 SOL and get its membership NFT
  2. Your buys on the pool count for your guild
  3. Every hour the top guild splits the pot among its members
Payroll

Employee NFTs earn salaries

The launcher mints Employee NFTs for the team, each with a share. Every week the pot is split by share among whoever holds the NFTs. Sell the NFT, sell the salary.

  1. Set the team at launch: wallet and share per employee
  2. Every week the pot is split by share to the NFT holders
  3. Employee NFTs are transferable: the salary follows the NFT
Options

Calls on the coin, paid by the pot

The pot writes cash-settled calls: pay a premium, get a Call NFT with today's price as strike, exercise any time within a week for the upside in SOL. Premiums feed the pot; open notional is capped at half of it.

  1. Buy a call: 5% premium on 0.5 SOL of notional, strike = current price
  2. If the price rises, exercise: the pot pays (price − strike) ÷ strike × size in SOL
  3. Expires in 7 days; the pot only writes what it can cover
Callout

Call it, get the card

Every pump.fun callout on the coin mints a card NFT to the caller, paid with everything earned since the previous callout, in the same transaction.

  1. Hold the coin and post a callout on pump.fun
  2. The keeper mints your card and sends everything earned since the last callout in one transaction
  3. One card per wallet, fixed supply
Thesis

Fomo theses get paid

Every thesis posted on the Fomo app about the coin mints a Thesis card NFT to its author, paid with everything earned since the previous thesis, in the same transaction.

  1. Hold the coin and post a thesis about it on Fomo
  2. The keeper mints your Thesis card and sends everything earned since the last thesis in one transaction
  3. One card per trader, fixed supply
Clock

Last one in takes the pot

The coin's earnings fill a pot. Anyone can take the crown for a small key price, which extends the clock. When the clock hits zero, the crown holder takes the whole pot and a new round starts.

  1. Pay the key price to take the crown: the clock extends
  2. Earnings and keys fill the pot while the clock runs
  3. Clock at zero: the crown holder takes the pot, new round

Stream and Clock NFTs carry a permanent transfer delegate held by the platform, which is what lets a purchase move the NFT from the previous holder without their signature, inside the same transaction as the payment.

Quants: getting one

  • Hire: 100,000 tokens + 0.1 SOL. Takes a quant from the pool. It starts as a Junior.
  • Mint: 100,000 tokens + 0.5 SOL. Creates a brand-new quant in your wallet, at Mid-Level. Your tokens back it in the pool.
  • Sell: any quant goes back to the pool for 100,000 tokens. 0.1 SOL goes to payroll.
  • Promote: pay tokens + SOL to move up. Weights: Junior ×1, Mid-Level ×2, Staff ×4, Executive ×8.

Every action is one Solana transaction: the coin transfer, the SOL transfer and the NFT movement (or rank update) travel together, co-signed by the coin's vault, so none of them can happen without the others. You sign last, in your wallet, after seeing exactly what you pay and what you get.

Payday

Every workday after the US close, the payroll is converted into the coin's five tokenized stocks and credited to every quant outside the pool: a quant's share is its rank weight divided by the sum of all weights. The reserves page reads every vault live against what the ledger owes. The ranks page shows who holds the desk.

FAQ

A Metaplex Core NFT bound to one coin. It can always be swapped for 100,000 tokens of that coin against the coin's pool, and it earns a share of the coin's payroll every workday as long as it is outside the pool.

Trust and risks

  • The pool and the payroll of each coin are held by that coin's vault wallet, operated by the platform. Reserves are public and verifiable, but this is custody, not a smart contract escrow.
  • Tokenized stocks are issued by Backed; they are Token-2022 assets with issuer controls. The platform never sells stocks once bought; they are only transferred to holders who claim.
  • Meme coins are volatile. The fixed swap rate is in tokens, not dollars.
