Economy
Quelle runs a clear economic design: QUE is the native coin of the Layer-1. QUT is the Genesis Testnet reward program. Two units. Two jobs. Zero ambiguity.
QUE — the network asset
QUE is how the Quelle chain meters inclusion and security. Fees, staking, and transfers speak QUE. The base
denomination is uque with six decimals. Addresses that hold QUE use the quelle
prefix. When investors ask “what is the coin?”, the answer is QUE.
QUT — the program unit
QUT recognizes participation as we scale the public testnet — Super App usage, PoWd contribution, network learning. QUT is tracked in the reward program. It is not accepted as gas. It is not bonded as stake. That clarity is intentional and non-negotiable.
Why the split is a strength
AI-native networks face a temptation to pay every click with the same token. That collapses security into engagement. Quelle refuses the collapse. QUE protects the chain. QUT powers the program. Alexandria-1 and PoWd grow without rewriting what it means to secure a block.
Genesis posture
Testnet genesis is deterministic and operable: liquid QUE for faucet learning, validator bonds, and community experimentation. Mainnet genesis is designed as the official blueprint. We activate when the network has proven it can be run with excellence.
