Qi is a token designed to enable and scale the use of cryptocurrency as a unit measure and medium of exchange within Quai Network. Qi has a highly responsive and accommodative supply, with an issuance and inflation rate in direct proportion to demand.

Qi is the native token of the UTXO shards within Quai Network, with fixed denominations and no scripting capabilities.

Note: Qi tokens are locked for 2 weeks and not spendable during that time period even though it shows in the account. Once they become spendable users can then send them or use them as needed.
