About Quai Network

Quai Network is a next-generation proof-of-work Layer 1 for a new decentralized global monetary. By merging currency with energy, Quai delivers the world’s first decentralized energy dollar—stable, scalable, and built for real-world commerce. Harness unstoppable performance to scale global transactions and power next-level DeFi solutions. Quai paves the way for a new monetary era by bringing money, DeFi, and sustainability on a single platform. Highlight/Vision: Quai Network introduces the first decentralized energy dollar cryptocurrency through a dual-token structure: Quai for a store of value and Qi an energy dollar. Built on innovative PoEM consensus and multi-threaded architecture, it achieves 50,000 TPS while maintaining decentralization through GPU-friendly mining. The platform offers EVM-compatible smart contracts with cross-shard composability for global financial applications. Token Economics: Quai functions as primary store of value token the network, with a unique logarithmic reward function that makes supply growth trend asymptotically toward zero over time. Designed for long-term value accrual, it serves as the programmable foundation for financial instruments and smart contracts, while its issuance through mining directly ties its value to network security. Technical Overview: Quai Network functions as a multi-threaded blockchain because it utilizes a hierarchical three-tier structure of interconnected chains - Prime, Region, and Zone layers - that operate cohesively through merge mining. Quai Network introduces Proof-of-Entropy-Minima consensus that provides faster finality and improved efficiency compared to traditional Proof-of-Work blockchains.
