Built on Quai Network
Quai Network is a unique, modular blockchain ecosystem designed to deliver unprecedented scalability and decentralization. It utilizes a multi-chain architecture where interconnected blockchains, such as Root, Prime, and Region chains, work in tandem to maximize throughput while maintaining security and decentralization. Quai's innovative design enables efficient consensus across its chains, offering high-performance infrastructure optimized for real-world applications.
Why is Lithium Built on Quai?
Lithium is built on Quai Network because it offers the perfect foundation for creating energy-backed financial instruments. Quai's modular architecture and efficient consensus mechanism provide a scalable and secure environment for tokenizing mining rewards.
Additionally, Quai’s native Qi token, the first energy-backed dollar, establishes a strong precedent for energy-backed assets and lays the groundwork for more advanced financial products like Lithium to be built on top of its infrastructure. This synergy enables Lithium to transform locked rewards into tradable assets seamlessly while leveraging Quai’s robust ecosystem.
Block Rewards on Quai
Block rewards on Quai Network are carefully designed to align with market dynamics and incentivize miners while controlling supply growth. Quai and Qi block reward emissions are calculated based on mining difficulty but use distinct proportional models:
Quai Rewards: Quai rewards are logarithmic, issued in proportion to the “bits” of difficulty, roughly represented by the number of leading zeros in the difficulty target. This ensures that the percentage growth of Quai supply asymptotically trends toward zero over time, creating a deflationary-like model.
Qi Rewards: Qi rewards are linear, issued in direct proportion to the “hashes” of difficulty tied to the hash-rate. This means the supply is inflationary, adjusting dynamically based on market demand and mining activity, offering flexibility and responsiveness to network conditions.
This dual reward structure ensures a balanced and sustainable emission model, supporting the long-term viability of Quai Network and applications like Lithium.
