Core Use Cases of QST ​

QST plays a fundamental role in securing and powering the QuStream network, serving multiple use cases:

✔ Transaction Fees – QST is required to pay for blockchain transactions and encryption requests.
✔ Staking & Validator Participation – Operators stake 200,000 QST to run Validator and Encryption Nodes.
✔ Revenue Distribution & Rewards – Node operators earn QST from staking rewards and service fees.
✔ Cross-Chain Security – QST enables secure interactions between multiple blockchains using QuStream encryption.
✔ Enterprise Integration – Institutional clients use QST to access encryption services via API-based micropayments.

Token Flow: How QST Powers the Ecosystem ​

Every QST transaction serves a purpose in the QuStream network:

1️⃣ A user or enterprise makes an encryption request or blockchain transaction.
2️⃣ The fee is deducted from their QST escrow balance.
3️⃣ The transaction is validated by Validator Nodes and encryption processed by Encryption Nodes.
4️⃣ Validators and Encryption Nodes receive their share of QST rewards.
5️⃣ A portion of revenue (10%) is used for buybacks and foundation reserves.
6️⃣ Users continue to interact with the ecosystem, ensuring sustained token demand.
