$QUID Tokenomics

$QUID Utility

•
Staking – $QUID staking is designed to support ecosystem participation through a simple and transparent staking framework, with parameters subject to governance.
•
Buyback Mechanisms – Governance may determine whether a portion of treasury resources is used for token-related mechanisms, including potential market purchases of $QUID, subject to ecosystem priorities and protocol needs.
•
Governance – Governance is intended to remain practical and focused, enabling community participation in ecosystem decisions while supporting effective protocol development.
•
In-App Utility – Planned functionality may evolve over time and could include enhanced product experiences, ecosystem features, and early access opportunities, subject to product development and governance decisions.

Squid Roadmap

We launched Squid three and a half years ago, with a vision and a whole lot of determination to turn fragmentation into something seamless. It hasn’t always been easy, but we didn’t think it would be. The solution we’ve created is the first to exist – Squid isn’t just a bridge and we’ve never simply been an aggregator. Squid isn’t just a bridge and we’ve never simply been an aggregator. Over the past 3 years, we have built a full stack operating layer for connecting digital value.

If you had been told this pain-free option existed two years ago (much less three) you would have not believed it. Canonical bridges, stolen funds, exorbitant gas fees be gone! Enter this new era of crypto that just… works.

It sounds too good to be true, but we’ve been saying it all along. And trust us, we know. We’re the ones building it, connecting it, growing it. Day by day, for 1,300 days now.

Squid’s platform is full-stack, including Squid Intents, Squid Aggregator, Squid Token Service / Accounts, Squid SDK, Squid Bridge, and Squid App (what’s that?! Coming soon-ish). Read all about the Squid stack here.

Something neat about crypto that’s overlooked in bigger headlines, is that real people are behind the products that keep the industry going, not just those names recognized for early (and extremely grand) failures. Squid is integrated across 1,500 projects and 100+ chains. We work hands on with hundreds of teams every day, creating and connecting an industry that has somehow survived and will someday thrive again.

Looking forward: a new era

$QUID marks an important milestone at Squid, just as much for the past as it does the future. The Squid ecosystem is growing, and $QUID will be used to support participation and engagement in our ecosystem in new and exciting ways.

If you believe in crypto, then you believe in Squid.

Welcome to our new era.
