What's open, what's closed

Economic Activation

QUAD's economic lanes — minting, distribution, movement, liquidity, markets — open one at a time, and only when the evidence backs them. Here's exactly where each one stands.

Where each lane stands

Today's status. These are honest markers, not promises.

Core chainLive mainnet-style chain; observe current state on Core.
Paid mintLive quote-first Core route; enabled sources belong to the owner feed.
Distribution / allocationNo public allocation, sale, airdrop, or reward path.
Bridge movementOpen pair by pair through the live owner manifest and quote; never globally inferred.
Infra workQuote-first product routes published by Infra.
Liquid marketsPublic market closed unless Liquid publishes a stronger owner state.

What each lane needs before it opens

Each one has to earn its opening with public evidence.

Paid mint

Stays open only while Core publishes healthy service state, enabled sources, fresh quotes, custody checks, and mint-law evidence.

Distribution

There is no allocation schedule. Any future distribution path needs its own owner-published law, custody, timing, and receipt evidence.

Bridge pairs

Each pair needs a live manifest, quote, source and target capacity, receiver binding, finality, fee, and terminal receipt. Delivery is never admission.

Infra work

Each action remains owner-priced and receipt-backed; visible documentation is not a promise that every service lane is currently accepting work.

Liquidity

Inventory and depth need owner-published source, custody, spendability, and risk labels. A balance is not guaranteed exit value.

Liquid markets

Wait for Liquid-owned market, settlement, risk, and service-promotion evidence before any public trading claim.

What you can do today

  • Validators: inspect metadata, public state, and readiness labels.
  • Reviewers: read the purpose, token model, security posture, and updates.
  • Builders: start from endpoint contracts and the per-chain docs.
  • Core users: use the paid-mint intake lane only from a fresh Core quote.
  • Infra users: use current quote-first Infra product routes.
  • Bridge users: request a live pair quote and follow its exact source, target, receiver, expiry, and finality terms.
  • Community: ask questions and report bugs — no allocation or reward expected.

What's not open

  • No QUAD sale, airdrop, reward campaign, or allocation schedule.
  • No globally open Bridge: only pairs accepted by the live owner manifest and quote.
  • No guaranteed liquidity, redemption, bank cash-out, or destination admission.
  • No public Liquid market.
  • No promise that testing or coordination creates future economic rights.

How a lane opens

The same careful sequence every time, so nobody has to guess.

1. Name the owner

Core, Infra, Bridge, or Liquid must own the action and its meaning.

2. Publish the law

State route, payment, custody, risk, refusal, refund, and authority boundaries.

3. Publish live state

Expose the manifest, health, price or fee, capacity, freshness, and closure behavior.

4. Bind the action

Issue a fresh quote or transaction path tied to receiver, amount, expiry, and finality.

5. Leave a receipt

Publish success, refusal, refund, quarantine, or terminal state without widening the claim.

6. Expand on proof

Broader pairs, capacity, liquidity, or markets require stronger owner evidence and a dated update.
