Q & Q NATION: THE PEOPLE'S AI COMPANYOWN THE AI THAT DOES THE WORK.

Q Nation is the people's AI company, built to be owned by the people whose work AI is changing. Its primary coin and ownership ledger is 3,000,000,000 Q, so each Q is one three-billionth of Q Nation.

85% of the Q belongs to the people. 25% is for buyers in ten public rounds. 40% is for members, who earn it with checked work, courses and games, and by holding $QUIT for the long term. 10% is for Builders and leaders who bring paying customers, and 10% is for a Community Treasury that only a members' vote can spend. The founder holds 5% and the team 10%. Their Q is released a quarter at a time as Q Nation passes 100,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000 and 100,000,000 real members and holds there for 90 days, or all at once at a sale. Under the 85/15 rule they are never paid more than 15% of any payout or any sale.

There are two doors in. Bring money and BUY Q, or bring work and EARN Q. Both doors lead to the same Q, with the same rights: a share of every profit payout (at least 50% of distributable profit goes to Q holders), the same share per Q of the price if Q Nation is sold, a vote on THE BOARD, and spending power in THE SHOP. If Q Nation is sold for $3B, every Q is paid $1. Long-term holders of $QUIT, the public coin, also earn Q from the members' pool (section 3.9).

The goal is one billion owners. We call it Universal Basic Ownership: when AI does the jobs, the people who used to do them own the AI.

Every year AI does more of the work people are paid for: writing, design, customer support, driving, trading, marketing. The money that work earns does not disappear. It moves to whoever owns the AI, and today that is a small number of companies.

The whole plan rests on one plain observation. When a machine does the work, the owner of the machine is paid. So the lasting answer for working people is to own part of the machine. Section 2 sets out the evidence.

Q Nation is built on that bet: an AI company that belongs to its people. Its AI already makes reels and runs a trading desk for holders. The plan adds paid jobs for businesses, courses that teach people to earn with AI, and later a personal AI worker for every member. When Q Nation makes a profit it can pay out, at least half of it is paid to the people who own Q.

Universal Basic Income is the idea that a government pays everyone a regular amount when the jobs go. Universal Basic Ownership is Q Nation's answer to the same problem. People own a share of the company whose AI does the work, so they are paid from the profit of that work.

Four rules turn the idea into ownership a member can count.

In plain words: of any payout or sale price A, the founder (S) takes at most a twentieth, the team (T) at most a tenth, and the people at least 85%.

Most people whose jobs AI is changing do not have savings to invest. A company that only sells shares would leave them out. Q Nation has a second door, so an illustrator, a nurse or a student can own part of Q Nation with work instead of money.

Early work earns the most. Stage 1 releases 1,200 Q for each new real member up to 100,000. By stage 5, the stretch from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 members, it is 0.2 Q for each new member. The people who build Q Nation first are paid the largest share of it. Sections 5.2 and 5.3 set out both doors in full.

The story in seven lines:

1. AI is starting to do the work people are paid for.
2. The money from that work does not disappear. It goes to whoever owns the AI.
3. Q Nation is an AI company that belongs to its people: 85% of it is set aside for members, 5% for the founder.
4. You can own a piece by putting in money or by putting in work. Both earn the same Q.
5. Q Nation's AI does paid jobs for businesses. Members check it, finish it and deliver it, and are paid for every job.
6. When Q Nation makes a profit, a share of it is paid to the people who own it.

The split and the 85/15 rule are decided. Q becomes a legal property right when THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER places it in a named company, with its ledger as the official register, an independent trustee for the people's side and audited accounts every quarter. The Charter is set up before the first real Q sale (section 6.1).

On THE WORK EXCHANGE a business pays cash for a job: a reel, a website, an ad, a translation, a product listing. Q Nation's AI does most of it, a member pilot finishes it, and Q Nation keeps a cut. A member's income then grows with the number of jobs they pilot, not with their hours, and Q Nation's revenue from that member grows the same way (section 4.2).

In the later phases each department builds and sells the AI kit for its own trade, such as dispatch and logbook AI for drivers or menu and reel AI for restaurants. Outside AI companies then put their AI workers on Q Nation's job rails, with members as their pilots. At that point Q Nation is the market where AI work is bought, checked and paid, and it is owned by the people who do the work.

Q Nation's goal is the world's largest community: one billion people, each owning a piece of the AI that works for them. Every stage of the plan is set by real members, never by the calendar.

PHASE SPECIFICATION · 5 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

Phase	Real members	What it proves
I. Launch	to 100,000	Real revenue per real member, measured in public
II. Launchpad live	to 1,000,000	Outsiders pay for members' work (Q pays cash through THE Q WINDOW from Q Nation's first profitable quarter, whatever the member count)
III. AI workers for everyone	to 10,000,000	Income grows with jobs piloted, not hours
IV. Global	to 100,000,000	Q Nation is the market for AI work
V. The people's economyPEOPLE 85%	to 1,000,000,000	The machine that does the jobs belongs to the people who used to do them

Phase V assumes Q Nation earns $300 a year from each member. For scale, Meta earned about $57 in 2025 for each daily user of its apps, mostly from advertising [12]. Q Nation assumes more because it is paid a share of the work its members do, not for their attention, and that amount grows with the work. Section 8.2 sets out every phase, and the range of what Q Nation could be worth on other assumptions.

Most of a billion owners will not read English first. Every member screen is designed with a picker of at least 20 languages in their own scripts, full mirroring for Arabic and Urdu, local currency beside the dollar, and support for Telegram's, Instagram's and TikTok's in-app browsers (section 7.3).

AI is starting to do the work people are paid for. The money from that work goes to whoever owns the AI. Today that is a small number of companies and their shareholders. The people whose jobs are changing, and whose know-how trained the machines, own almost none of it.

Crypto promised regular people a direct way to own things. For most of them it became a place to lose money to faster, better-informed players. This section sets out both problems with dated, sourced numbers, and ends with the tests any answer has to pass.

Every piece of paid work has a price, and the price splits three ways.

In plain words: what a customer pays (P) covers the pay of the people who do the work (W), the running costs (C) and the owner's margin (M).

When a person does the work, W is the biggest part. When AI does it, W shrinks to the pay of whoever checks the machine's output, and C becomes the cost of running the machine.

In plain words: the owner keeps what the customer pays, minus the machine's running cost and the pay of the person who checks it.

Competition will push the price down as well. What is left after the machine's running cost goes to the owner of the machine. It does not go to the person who used to do the job.

That ownership is being built now, and it sits in few hands:

• On 29 October 2025 Nvidia, the leading maker of AI chips, became the first company ever valued at $5 trillion [4].
• In February 2026 Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft together said they expected to spend close to $700 billion on capital spending in 2026, driven by AI [3].

Those sums buy the machines that will do the work. Their owners are those companies' shareholders. A cashier, a driver or a call-centre agent whose work moves to those machines holds no share of them.

The same is true of know-how. Experts are already paid by the task or by the hour to show AI how their trade is done: to write examples, grade answers and correct mistakes. They are paid once. The model they helped train keeps earning for years, and it belongs to someone else.

Two large studies give the scale.

01

The IMF, January 2024

Almost 40% of jobs worldwide are exposed to AI, and about 60% in advanced economies. About half of the exposed jobs may gain from it. For the other half, AI may do key tasks people do today, "which could lower labor demand, leading to lower wages and reduced hiring" [1].

02

The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report, January 2025

Employers expect jobs equal to 22% of today's total to be created or lost by 2030: 170 million roles created and 92 million displaced. These figures cover every change employers named, not AI alone. Clerical, administrative and other routine roles shrink fastest [2].

A net gain in jobs worldwide is little comfort to a person whose role is one of the 92 million. Most of the new roles are different work, often in different places, for people with different training.

Q Nation's departments start with ten professions. In each one, AI already does part of the work.

PROFESSION SPECIFICATION · 10 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

ProfessionWhat AI already does in this work

Truck drivers

Drives heavy trucks on set highway routes by itself

Call-centre workers

Answers routine customer chats and calls from start to finish

Developers

Writes code that engineers then review and accept

Designers

Makes images, layouts and short videos from a written request

Lawyers

Chefs

Takes orders, plans menus and orders stock

Builders (construction)

Drafts plans, cost estimates and quotes

Three dated examples:

01

Trucks

On 27 April 2025 Aurora began regular paid deliveries with driverless heavy trucks between Dallas and Houston [5].

02

Customer service

On 27 February 2024 Klarna said its AI assistant had handled 2.3 million conversations in its first month, two thirds of its customer service chats, "the equivalent work of 700 full-time agents" [6]. In May 2025 its chief executive said cost had weighed too heavily in that choice and quality had fallen, and Klarna began hiring people for customer service again [13].

03

Software

In October 2024 Google's chief executive said more than a quarter of all new code at Google was generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers [7].

In each case the person does not vanish. Their job becomes checking the machine. That checking is real, paid work, but it usually takes fewer people and fewer hours than the job it replaces, and the gain from the rest goes to the owner.

Most people earn one way. They sell hours.

In plain words: pay is the hourly rate (r) times the hours sold (h).

Both parts have limits. A year has 8,760 hours. A full-time worker sells about 2,000 of them (40 hours a week for 50 weeks). A machine can run all 8,760, and many copies of it can run at once.

AI also caps the rate. Once a machine can do a task, no buyer pays a person much more for it than the machine's cost plus what only that person adds.

In plain words: a person's rate for a task is capped by the machine's cost (c) plus the extra value only the person brings (v).

An example with round numbers. A designer sells 1,600 hours a year at $40 an hour and earns $64,000. Buyers now pay for half those hours, at $30, because the machine sets the bar. The same designer earns 800 x $30 = $24,000. Working harder does not fix it: the hours on offer shrink, and the machine sets the rate.

An owner is paid a different way.

In plain words: an owner earns their share (s) of the profit (Π), which grows with what the business sells, not with the owner's hours.

Machines widen the gap between these two formulas. Every task that moves from a person to a machine takes a little from the first and adds to the second. People who only sell hours fall behind people who own a share, however hard they work.

The usual answers leave the gap open. Retraining sends a person back to sell hours in a new field, where AI arrives next. A payment from the government makes them depend on a budget they do not control. Neither gives them a share of what the machines earn.

Crypto promised regular people a direct way to own something. In practice, most of what was launched gave buyers nothing to own and many ways to lose.

Most coins die. Chainalysis counted more than 2 million new tokens launched in 2024. When it counted, only 1.7% had traded in the previous 30 days. 3.59% showed patterns linked to pump-and-dump schemes, and about 94% of the trading pools behind those schemes appear to have been emptied by the address that created them [8].

The open launch model. One open launch site on Solana made launching a coin open to anyone, in moments, with no person reviewing it first. Solidus Labs, a blockchain compliance firm, reported in May 2025 that more than 7 million coins had been launched there since January 2024 and that about 97,000 still held at least $1,000 in their trading pool. It counted the other 98.6% as rug pulls or pump-and-dump schemes [9]. The site rejected that reading and said most meme coins, like most posts online, simply have little lasting value [9]. For a regular buyer both readings end in the same place: nearly every coin went to nearly nothing.

How a regular buyer loses:

PROTOCOL MECHANICS & SETTLEMENT RULES · 5 RULESCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

What happens	In plain words	What it means for the buyer
Rug pull	The creator takes the money out of the coin's trading pool, or sells a big hidden pile at once	The price collapses in seconds, and the buyer holds a coin nobody wants
Snipers	Software buys a new coin in its first seconds, before any person can see it	The buyer pays a higher price to the sniper, who then sells to them
A crowd that is one person	The creator buys through many wallets so the coin looks popular	The buyer takes the demand for real
Fake activity	Bots trade with themselves; bought followers and bot replies make a coin look busy	The numbers on the screen stop meaning anything
Mass sell-off	Many holders sell inside a minute	The price falls even when the pool is locked

Fake activity can be measured. Chainalysis found $2.57 billion of possible wash trading (bots trading with themselves to fake volume) in 2024 on three networks [8]. Across the whole internet, automated traffic passed human traffic in 2024 for the first time in a decade, at 51%, and harmful bots alone made up 37% [10]. On a phone screen, bought attention and real interest look the same.

Locking the pool is not enough. Many launch platforms now lock a coin's trading money so the creator cannot pull it out. That stops one kind of loss, not the other. Q Nation's own research on Solana coins that had finished their launch stage, from 23 September to 19 October 2026, found that nearly all trades losing 90% or more were caught in mass sell-offs inside about a minute, not in pulled pools. The finding is provisional and has not yet been repeated independently [11].

The deeper fault is the model itself. In the open launch model the coin is the whole product. Nothing ties it to a business, to revenue or to anyone's work. A meme coin gives its holder no claim on profit, no vote on anything that matters and no accounts to read. Its only value is the next buyer, and the fastest software is always first in line.

Regular people end up last in line twice. In AI, they do the work and others own the machine. In crypto, they bring the money and others own the head start.

These are the tests the rest of this paper sets for QUIT. The last column says where each answer is set out.

2	Pay is tied to hours	Pay for checked results, and pay owners from profit	THE JOB BOARD and THE WORK EXCHANGE pay for results; at least 50% of distributable profit is paid to Q holders (3.5, 4.3)
3	Ownership needs money	Open a way in for people with nothing to invest	Two doors: buy Q in the people's rounds, or earn the same Q by work (5.2, 5.3)
4	Insiders cash out first	Make the founder and team wait for the community	Their Q unlocks only with real members or at a sale, and a sale never pays them more than 15% (5.4)
5	Snipers and hidden insider buys	Take away the first-second head start	On THE LAUNCHPAD the fee starts at 50% and falls to 1.50% over the first two minutes, nobody buys before the creator, every coin is checked and a person reads every flagged one, and the money pool locks forever at 85 SOL (3.12)
6	Bots and fake numbers	Count only real, checked people, and let outsiders check the count	Team-run accounts never earn Q or count; the count must hold for 90 days and an outside firm audits it before any founder or team unlock; an identity check comes before anything that pays cash or a large amount of Q (6.4, 6.5)
7	Nothing behind the coin	Tie ownership to a real business with accounts anyone can read	Q is ownership in a named company under THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER, with an independent trustee and quarterly audited accounts on OPEN BOOKS (6.1, 6.2)
8	Owners have no say	Give owners a vote that decides real things	THE BOARD: 1 Q = 1 vote; a sale of Q Nation needs two thirds of the Q voting and a majority of identity-checked members, each with a turnout floor, and a price no lower than the last round's (6.3)

Each of these answers part of the problem. None gives a working person a share of the business their work builds.

Q Nation is one building. Each floor is a place to earn, learn, play, spend or decide. Every floor uses the same account and writes to the same Q ledger, so the Q earned on one floor is the Q that is spent, counted and paid out on every other.

Both doors open into the same building. Bring money and BUY Q, or bring work and EARN Q. Where buying Q is not yet open in a member's country, the work door stays open.

The gold Pyramid-Q appears only beside Q, so no screen mixes them up.

One account. A member signs in once, with email, phone, Google, X, a Solana wallet or Telegram, and that one member id opens every floor.

One ledger. Every floor writes to one Q ledger. Earned Q waits 7 days while it is checked (WAITING), then becomes READY. Section 7.2 covers how the ledger is built and proved.

One count. A real member is signed in, checked, has taken a real action in the last 30 days, and is not a team account. A real action is paid checked work, a buy, or a course passed. This one count releases the work pool in five stages, unlocks the founder's and the team's Q at 100,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000 and 100,000,000 members, and opens live launches at 1,000,000. The release follows the highest audited count ever reached. An unlock needs the count held at its mark for 90 days and an outside audit (section 6.4).

Pots set the pay. Earned Q flows through seven pots: THE JOB BOARD, invites and creators, MINING (holding $QUIT), games, THE ACADEMY, departments and cups, and a reserve for appeals. Each pot has a budget for the day, shows the amount before a member acts and holds it from that moment. An empty pot shows "full today" (sections 4.5 and 5.3).

The office is home after sign-in, with four tabs: HOME, PLAY, EARN and WALLET. A new member's first paid task takes about five minutes: grade five AI answers about your own job and earn about 50 Q.

Two ladders are always named apart. WORK RANK (INTERN, ASSOCIATE, MANAGER, DIRECTOR, VICE PRESIDENT, C-SUITE, BOARD MEMBER) comes from work. WORK RANK: ASSOCIATE opens cash jobs, bounties, hosting events and teaching. WORK RANK: MANAGER opens leading a crew and checking other members' work. $QUIT CLUB (MEMBER, MANAGER, DIRECTOR, BOARDROOM VIP) comes from holding $QUIT. A member such as Alex, a former store manager in the RETAIL department, can be $QUIT CLUB: MANAGER and WORK RANK: ASSOCIATE at the same time.

Every job runs the same eight steps:

01

Posted

by a Q Nation pot, a business or THE BOARD.

02

Claimed

by a member whose rank and department match. The pay is shown and held.

03

Done

Accessible entry threshold enabling broad community participation.

04

Proof sent

a link, a photo, a file or attendees' check-in codes.

05

Checked

automatically where the platform can confirm, by a reviewer for big jobs, and by crew vouching.

06

Waiting

7 days.

07

Paid

in Q, or cash plus Q on a cash job.

08

Recorded

on the WORK PASSPORT, and rank rises.

THE JOB BOARD is built on Proof of Impact, by the Founder. Q pays for checked work, not empty clicks. Anything odd goes to a person, who decides within 7 days, and the member can appeal.

THE WORK EXCHANGE. Businesses post paid jobs: reels, websites, ads, support replies, translations. Q Nation's AI does most of each job, and a checked member, the pilot, checks it, fixes it and delivers it.

In plain words: what a business pays for a job (b) goes to the pilot as cash, except Q Nation's cut, a share k of the price. The cut k is 20%: on a $150 job, the member gets $120 plus Q. Q Nation keeps $30.

The pilot also earns Q from the job board pot. The business's payment is held until it approves. If it does not answer, the pilot is paid automatically after 3 days, and inside those 3 days the business can raise a problem. Builders who bring a business earn their commission on Q Nation's share of its jobs. No commission is paid where the business, the pilot and the Builder share a device, a funding source, an invite tree or a crew.

TEACH THE AI. Members are paid to teach AI their trade. They record how they do a job, write examples and grade AI answers, each item under signed consent that can be withdrawn. Withdrawing consent stops new licences of that item. It does not remove the item from a model already trained under an earlier licence. Q Nation licenses the checked data to AI labs and companies, and the people who made it share a data dividend each time it earns.

In plain words: member i receives the dividend share δ of a licence worth L, split by the checked items each member gave (u).

The share δ is set before the first outside licence. The first pilot grades answers for Q Nation's own CREATOR STUDIO and AI desk (section 7.1).

WORK PASSPORT. Every checked job, course, event and review lands in a record the member owns, with ratings and earnings. WORK RANK is computed from it, and a public profile with a HIRE key shows it to clients and employers. Bigger jobs go to long checked records, so a new fake account has little to gain.

DEPARTMENTS give every profession a home: truck drivers, chefs, nurses, developers, lawyers, builders, teachers, designers, retail and call-centre workers, and more. Each has a Telegram group, its own courses and leaders, a weekly Dept Cup scored in points with prizes in Q, and a featured coin on THE LAUNCHPAD.

CREWS are teams of 5 to 50 inside a department. They take bigger jobs together and compete for crew pots. A member vouches for each person they bring in, and loses Q if that person turns out to be fake. That is a cost no phone check can impose.

GUILDS turn a department into a product team that builds and sells the AI kit for its trade, such as dispatch and logbook AI for drivers. Bounties pay the builders, THE BOARD can fund a guild from the Community Treasury, and the members who run the kit share its revenue.

Courses in plain words: go viral, digital products, selling AI to local businesses, how launching a coin works and its protections, the AI desk and its risks, and one "your profession plus AI" course per department, taught by its own members. Finishing a course pays about 100 Q in stage 1. Teaching one starts as a bounty of about 25,000 Q. Certificates go on the WORK PASSPORT, and THE ACADEMY certifies pilots for cash jobs.

Three throw games pay Q: Dunk the Boss, Paper Boss and Overlord Toss. Q Nation's server deals each paying round, replays the player's taps and scores it. Each member gets three free rounds a day, and practice never pays. The week's games pot is shared by checked score, with each day capped at a good human's score and no player taking more than 2% (section 4.7). Each release into the games pot is paid out evenly over 180 days, and games Q is paid after the one-time identity check. The five arcade games keep score only, for now.

MINING is the reward for long-term holders of $QUIT, the public coin, paid from the members' work pool. The longer the coins are held, the more they weigh: up to five times after a year, and doubled for an account that has never sold. An account needs at least 10,000 $QUIT (section 4.6). Each day's amount is set by new members joining: every release into the MINING pot is paid out evenly over the next 180 days. MINING Q is paid only where Q is open, and after the one-time identity check; elsewhere a MINING balance builds up and turns into Q when Q opens there. The EX-EMPLOYEES NFT's +25% applies to game rounds and perks, not to MINING.

Members pay by card or Apple Pay, or pay up to half with Q at the open round's price, or at the Q reference price when no round is open, within a monthly cap. Every card payment brings 5% back in Q. Spent Q is not destroyed: it goes to the ledger's recycled account and is paid out again to the next worker (section 5.8).

BUILDERS sell Q Nation's AI products to real businesses. Under the live plan they earn 25% of every customer payment each month (40% of the first month) and from 5% down to 1% across seven team levels, paid in USDC. On a Creator Studio plan paid partly with Q, the commission is paid on the card part only. On a business's Work Exchange jobs they earn their commission on Q Nation's share of each job, after card fees, inside the 45% cap (section 4.2). They also earn Builder Units from the Builders' 300,000,000 Q, and each unit becomes 30 Q (section 5.5).

TRANSITION PARTNERS are employers cutting jobs because of AI, unions and workforce agencies. They pay Q Nation to retrain and place their people through departments, THE ACADEMY, cash jobs and the WORK PASSPORT. The workers join free, so this growth pays Q Nation instead of costing it.

THE WORK PROTOCOL lets outside AI companies put their AI workers on THE WORK EXCHANGE. Members pilot them, and the developer, the pilot and Q Nation each take a share. THE BOARD votes on the protocol fee.

THE LAUNCHPAD lets anyone launch a coin, with protection from sniper bots, and every coin is checked: a person reads every flagged one. Its tabs are PLAY (CHAIR RALLY, solo or against a friend), COINS (the Departures board) and ME. It runs on practice SOL until live launches open (section 8.4, fact 5).

Four protections: a fee that falls from 50% to 1.50% over the first two minutes stops sniper bots; nobody buys before the creator; every coin is checked, and a person reads every flagged one (a clean form is approved at once); and at 85 SOL the money pool locks forever.

In plain words: each swap pays 0.60% to the coin's creator, 0.30% to the member who invited the trader, 0.10% and 0.05% to the two members above them, 0.21% to the $QUIT treasury, above the 0.20% the live site pledges, and 0.24% to Meteora, which runs the pools. The invite shares are paid on trades placed through QUIT.

Any member can launch a profession coin. Each department's identity-checked members vote one FEATURED COIN, such as LONG HAUL for truck drivers, and its launcher earns the 0.60% creator fee, paid as CASH.

Every cash earning (cash job pay, profit payouts, Builder pay, commissions, Q Window sales) lands as USDC in the member's Q Nation wallet. From there it goes to THE Q CARD, a bank, mobile money (M-PESA, PIX, UPI, GCash) or any crypto wallet.

THE Q CARD spends cash earnings anywhere cards are taken and in Apple Pay and Google Pay, with Q back on every purchase except at cash-like merchants. There is one Q Card, for every member. Q back is paid only from the interchange Q Nation receives on card spending, at a rate below it, capped per verified person each month; the rate is set once the card provider is chosen. The card provider, chosen next, runs the ID check. $QUIT and Q are never spent by card.

Telegram is where the community talks. The office is where Q lives. The bot has four link keys into qnation.tech: PLAY, MY Q, EARN and BUY Q. They are plain links, never a Mini App, because Telegram bars Mini Apps from sending people to sites that use coins other than TON. Q, wallets and payments stay on the website. Departments and crews are Telegram groups. Team-run accounts never earn Q and never count as members.

When AI does most of the work people are paid for, income from hours shrinks. Q Nation replaces it with two incomes a member can see: cash for every AI job they pilot, and a share of Q Nation's profit for every Q they own. This section sets out the mathematics behind both.

The total, 3,000,000,000 Q, is written out in full in every formula, because it never changes.

A member's income from Q Nation has two parts:

In plain words: a member earns the cash for jobs they piloted (c), plus the Q they own (q) times the payout on each Q (d).

In plain words: revenue is the number of real members times what Q Nation earns from each of them in a year.

ARPU is the sum of Q Nation's engines: CREATOR STUDIO, the Go Viral package, THE SHOP, THE ACADEMY, Builders sales and launch services, Q Nation's cut of each Work Exchange job, licences for the data members create in TEACH THE AI, transition partner contracts, guild products and, later, Work Protocol fees. R counts only what Q Nation keeps. Pilot pay on THE WORK EXCHANGE goes to the pilot, and the 0.20% of each launchpad swap pledged to the $QUIT treasury is not in R.

THE WORK EXCHANGE ties revenue to work. If a member pilots jobs billed at b a month and Q Nation keeps a cut k:

In plain words: Q Nation earns a share of the work its members do, so revenue per member grows with the jobs they pilot.

Q Nation's cut k is 20%. On a $150 job, the member gets $120 plus Q. Q Nation keeps $30. At that cut, a member who pilots $125 of jobs a month brings Q Nation $300 a year, the Phase V figure in section 8.2. OPEN BOOKS publishes the actual revenue per real member every quarter, so the estimate is tested in public.

In plain words: profit is what is left after Q Nation pays its costs.

C covers AI compute, people, partners and the Builders' commissions (25% of every payment each month, 40% of the first month, and from 5% down to 1% across seven team levels). On a Creator Studio plan paid partly with Q, the commission is paid on the card part only. On a Work Exchange job it is paid on Q Nation's share of the job after card fees, inside the 45% cap. Paying a member in Q costs Q Nation no cash.

On a $150 Work Exchange job, after the card fee, the AI work and a reserve for card disputes, Q Nation keeps $17.95 when the business came direct, and $6.95 in the first month or $8.41 after when a Builder brought it. The model puts the margin of the costed revenue lines, after the costs of each sale, at 39.7% for CREATOR STUDIO and 40.1% of Q Nation's share for THE WORK EXCHANGE: 39.9% blended (Tokenomics Report 8.3).

In plain words: distributable profit is audited profit since the last payout, after earlier losses are made back (Π_since), and never more than the cash left once six months of operating costs (C_m a month) are kept in reserve. At least half of it is paid to Q holders (D). At most half of the rest buys Q back through THE Q WINDOW (B), and what remains funds Q Nation's growth (U).

Profit is measured before non-cash Q pay, and the auditor signs off the method. OPEN BOOKS publishes both lines, profit and distributable profit. Quarters of -$400,000, +$400,000, -$400,000 and +$400,000 pay nothing, because each profit only makes back the loss before it.

The 50% is a floor. THE BOARD can vote it higher. Each payout follows the 85/15 rule:

In plain words: the founder is paid on his unlocked Q (Q_S) but never more than 5% of a payout, and the team on its granted, vested and unlocked Q (Q_T) but never more than 10%.

The rest, \(D - D_S - D_T \ge 0.85\,D\), goes to the people's Q, the same amount on every Q. Team Q not yet granted goes to the people's Q as well.

An example. After the first unlock at 100,000 real members, with 460,000,000 people's Q issued and all team Q granted, 572,500,000 Q count. The founder's 37,500,000 would be 6.6% of that and the team's 75,000,000 would be 13.1%. Without the rule the people would receive 80.3% of the payout. With it they receive 85%: of each $500,000 paid out, $425,000 goes to the people, $25,000 to the founder and $50,000 to the team.

THE Q WINDOW opens from Q Nation's first profitable quarter. From then on, in every quarter with profit, it buys Q back from members who want cash, from profit only and never from round money, at or below the Q reference price:

In plain words: the reference price is the lower of the last round's price and ten times audited revenue over the last 12 months (R_12), shared over all the Q. The Window buys as much Q as its budget (B) pays for at its price, up to the eligible Q members offer (Q̄_B).

Offers fill pro rata: every eligible offer fills the same share, and no account fills more than 2% of the quarter's cap. Bought Q can be offered after 12 months and earned Q after 6 months READY, and an identity check comes before any payout. The Window stays open at least 20 business days. THE BOARD sets the Window's share, at most half of the profit not paid out. Q bought back goes to the ledger's recycled account and is paid out again as rewards to new workers. When no round is open, the reference price is also the price for THE SHOP, cash back and members' yearly statements.

So the value of Q reaches its owner by three routes: profit payouts, THE Q WINDOW, and a sale of Q Nation. Every cash amount lands in the member's Q Nation wallet in dollars (USDC).

In plain words: one Q is worth Q Nation's value divided by the number of Q, so if Q Nation is sold for $3B, 1 Q is worth $1.

The supply never changes. Paying a worker in Q moves value inside the people's 85%, from the share held for all real members to the person who did the work. It never changes the founder's and the team's 15%. Section 5.4 sets out how a sale is paid.

The calendar releases nothing. New real members release the 1,200,000,000 Q of the work pool, counted at the highest audited count of real members ever reached, so a dip releases nothing and takes nothing back:

In plain words: each new real member releases Q into the pool, 1,200 Q each for the first 100,000 members, about 267 for the next 900,000, then 40, 3.3 and 0.2, until all 1,200,000,000 Q are out at one billion members.

Each release splits into the seven pots in section 5.3. Each pot has a budget for the day:

In plain words: a pot's budget for today (G) is what it holds (L) plus what the rest of the stage will add to it (F), spread over the expected days left in the stage (T), and never more than it holds. Today's pay for an action is that budget divided by the actions expected today (E). The amount is shown before you act and held for you, and an empty pot shows "full today".

The MINING and games pots pay each release evenly over the next 180 days, so their daily amount is set by new members joining. At 300 new real members a day in stage 1, a task pays 108 Q. On a day when 3,300 people join at once it pays 122 Q, and the extra Q stays in the pot for the days that follow.

In stage 1 the invites pot holds 240 Q per new member (1,200 times 20%): 160 Q for the inviter and 80 Q for the newcomer. In stage 2 it holds about 53 Q per new member. An invite counts only after the friend becomes active (a real buy, or 4 active days in their first 30), and the inviter's Q is paid out over the newcomer's first 90 days, only while the newcomer keeps using QUIT. Q spent in THE SHOP and Q bought back through THE Q WINDOW go to the ledger's recycled account and are paid out again as rewards.

The MINING pot is a reward for long-term holders of $QUIT, paid from the members' work pool. Each day it is shared by weight:

In plain words: an account's weight is its lowest $QUIT balance of the day, multiplied by how long the coins have been held, and doubled if it has never sold. The day's pot, the releases of the last 180 days each paid out over 180 days, is shared by weight.

\(b_c^{\min}\) is each batch of coins counted at the account's lowest balance that day, and \(t_c\) is its age in days from the real buy on the chain. For example, in February 2027: Alex holds 1,250,000 $QUIT, bought 94 days earlier and never sold. Alex's weight is 1,250,000 x 2 x 2 = 5,000,000. At 300 new real members a day in stage 1 the day's pot is 72,000 Q, shared over the weight of every eligible account. The EX-EMPLOYEES NFT's +25% applies to game rounds and perks, not to this weight.

An account needs at least 10,000 $QUIT across its linked wallets. The weight is linear, so splitting wallets gains nothing. Using the lowest balance means holding over midnight for a few minutes earns nothing. Only coins bought from a pool, paid by the referral program or moved between the account's own wallets earn. A wallet whose history cannot be read that day earns nothing that day and shows "checking".

In plain words: each day's score counts only up to the 90th-percentile human score for that game, the week's pot (G) is split by those scores, and nobody takes more than 2% of it.

The server deals each round from a seed, replays the player's taps and scores it, so a perfect bot earns no more than a good player. The 90th percentile is worked out over identity-checked accounts with a playing history. The week's pot is seven days of the games pot's daily amount, each release paid out over 180 days. Members see "your share of this week's pot" as a running estimate.

From round 5, a round opens only when Q Nation's yearly revenue run rate, read from the last two audited quarters, is at least one tenth of that round's valuation (section 5.2). Rearranged, the gate is $10R \ge V_k$: no round from 5 on sells Q above ten times the revenue Q Nation already earns in a year. The members a round needs at a given revenue per member:

In plain words: divide the round's valuation by ten times what each member brings in a year.

Rounds 1 to 4 raise up to $1,800,000 with no revenue gate, and Round 5 opens only after two consecutive audited quarters at or above a $12,800,000 yearly revenue run rate (V / 10). Three constitutional mechanisms protect runway between Round 4 and Round 5: first, the 300,000,000 Q Strategic Founding Reserve inside the 750,000,000 Q (25%) Rounds Vault capitalizes initial platform launch and operating reserves before Public Round 1 opens; second, rule D22 enforces a hard monthly cost cap holding fixed + variable spend to at most 1/12 of cash on hand plus that month's contribution margin, guaranteeing 12 months of forward cash coverage; and third, cash_plan() in the tokenomics model verifies month-by-month across Low, Base and High cases that cash never drops below zero (Tokenomics Report 4.7).

In plain words: next period's members are today's, plus those brought by invites, crews, transition partners and other channels, minus those who stop being active.

• \(I_t\), invites: friends who became real members. The inviter is paid only as the friend keeps using QUIT.
• \(K_t\), crews: teams of 5 to 50 in a department's Telegram group, growing to win the Dept Cup. Each member vouches for the people they bring and loses Q if one turns out to be fake.
• \(X_t\), transition partners: employers, unions and workforce agencies pay Q Nation to retrain and place their people. This channel adds revenue as it adds members.
• \(O_t\), other channels: creators' reels with links, round openings as news, the show live 24/7.
• \(\chi\), churn: the share of real members who stop being active in a period. The WORK PASSPORT keeps each member's record and rank inside Q Nation, and crews keep small teams working together.

In plain words: Q Nation grows whenever the members it adds, as a share of the members it has, beat the share it loses.

Because \(R = N \times \text{ARPU}\), churn cuts revenue one for one. The same count drives work-pool releases and the founder's and the team's unlocks (section 6.4).

1. A person joins free and does a first job: grading AI answers about their own trade, a reel, a translation.
2. Businesses pay Q Nation for AI work that members pilot on THE WORK EXCHANGE, AI labs pay for the checked data members create in TEACH THE AI, and customers buy from THE SHOP.
3. Pilots are paid in cash and Q. Their WORK PASSPORT grows and their crew climbs the Dept Cup.
4. Revenue becomes profit. At least half of distributable profit is paid to Q holders, and THE Q WINDOW buys Q back; that Q is paid out again as rewards to the next workers.
5. Payouts, buybacks and OPEN BOOKS are proof. Proof opens the next round, and each opening is news on the show and in the channel.
6. News, invites and transition partners bring the next members, and step 1 runs again at a larger size.

Every step uses one account and one ledger.

Q is the people's share of Q Nation: 3,000,000,000 Q make up 100% of Q Nation. You buy Q in the people's rounds, or earn it by work. Bought and earned Q are the same Q, with the same rights. Under THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER each Q is one unit of ownership in the company, and Q Nation's ledger is its register (section 6.1).

The first four rows are the people's 2,550,000,000 Q. The people own 85% of Q Nation, at every payout and at any sale. The 85/15 rule in section 5.4 keeps that true even before all the people's Q has been issued.

Every Q carries the same four rights: a share of profit (at least 50% of distributable profit is paid to Q holders, split by Q held), the same share of any sale as every other Q (section 4.4), one vote on THE BOARD, and spending power in THE SHOP.

The Rounds Vault holds 750,000,000 Q (25% of total supply): 300,000,000 Q in the Strategic Founding Reserve and 450,000,000 Q across ten public rounds of 45,000,000 Q each. Each public round values Q Nation at twice the last, starting at $8M in Round 1 through $4.096B in Round 10. When a round sells out, the next one opens, subject to its revenue gate.

In plain words: the price of 1 Q in round n is Q Nation's value in that round divided by all the Q there will ever be.

In plain words: each round raises 1.5% of its valuation, and all ten together raise up to $122.8M.

The right-hand columns of the table show what that Q is paid if Q Nation is sold for $3B (section 8.4, fact 2).

Each round costs twice the last, and Q Nation never sells Q cheaper than an earlier round.

The business earns each round. Rounds 1 to 4 have no revenue gate and raise up to $1,800,000. From round 5, a round opens only when Q Nation's yearly revenue run rate, published in OPEN BOOKS, is at least one tenth of that round's valuation:

In plain words: from round 5, Q Nation must already earn a tenth of a round's valuation every year before that round can sell. Section 4.8 shows what that asks of the business.

The run rate is read from the last two audited quarters: a gated round opens when both, each times four, are at or above its gate, net of refunds and leaving out revenue from accounts CHECKS has flagged. If a later audited quarter falls back below the gate, the round pauses until two quarters in a row are back above it. The revenue counts only what Q Nation keeps from customers it does not control: no round money, no purchases paid with Q, and no payments from The Founder Technologies, the team or companies they own.

The raise. Every round's 45,000,000 Q go to buyers, so the ten rounds raise up to $122,760,000 and rounds 1 to 4 up to $1,800,000. No Q is paid on the Q that invited friends buy (section 5.7).

Buying rules. Q is sold only through the lawful route for each market (section 8.4, fact 3), and that route's rules come first. Under US Regulation Crowdfunding, for example, that means one registered funding portal, each buyer's yearly investment limit, and the right to cancel up to 48 hours before the round's deadline. Within those rules, a price is held for 10 minutes between quote and payment, a buy that crosses into the next round pays each part at its own round's price, and every purchase settles in USDC (section 7.2). A price hold needs the one-time identity check. Team accounts, the founder's included, cannot buy, and team wallets do not sell $QUIT while a round is open. While a sale of Q Nation is being negotiated, the rounds pause.

The work pool is 1,200,000,000 Q. Real members release it, not the calendar. It opens in five stages, each spread over the new members it brings:

In plain words: the Q per new member in stage s is that stage's share of the pool, divided by the members the stage adds.

Founder and team: 15%. It unlocks as the community grows, or at a sale of Q Nation, and a sale never pays them more than 15%. A step unlocks only when the audited real-member count has held at or above its mark for 90 days in a row, and an outside firm has audited the count.

Team Q counts only once it is granted to a named person under a signed agreement, and vested. The independent trustee approves every grant, and OPEN BOOKS lists each one: role, amount and vesting. No grant goes to the Founder, The Founder Technologies or a company the Founder owns. Team Q not yet granted goes to the people's Q at payouts and to the people's dividend at a sale.

The 85/15 rule.

1. At every payout and at any sale, the Founder is paid at most 5% and the team at most 10%.
2. At a sale, every Q held is paid the same: the price divided by 3,000,000,000.
3. The value of the people's Q not yet issued (round Q not yet sold, work pool Q not yet earned by a member, Builder Q not yet earned, treasury Q not yet granted), and of team Q not yet granted, is paid to real members as a one-time people's dividend, split by the Q each one earned through checked work and how long they held it.

A sale of Q Nation unlocks it all, and the people's 85% still goes to the people.

In plain words: the founder gets 5%, the team is paid on its granted and vested Q (\(T_v\)), at most 10%, each issued people's Q gets the same price v, and the value of the people's Q not yet issued, and of team Q not yet granted, goes to real members as the people's dividend.

\(Q_{\text{iss}}\) is the people's Q already issued: bought in rounds, earned from the work pool, earned by Builders, and granted from the treasury. Q released into a pot but not yet earned by anyone is not issued, so its value is part of the dividend. The model stops if \(Q_{\text{iss}}\) is below 0 or above 2,550,000,000, or if the dividend would be below zero. The dividend is shared by Q earned through checked work and held over time:

In plain words: each real member's weight (e) is the Q they earned through checked work times the days they have held it, counted from their first checked job, capped at five times the median. Only real members on the record date who have passed the identity check take part.

An early sale, from the model: rounds 1 to 4 sold (300,000,000 Q), all 120,000,000 Q of stage 1 of the work pool earned by members, 30,000,000 Builder Q earned and 10,000,000 treasury Q granted, so 460,000,000 people's Q are issued. All 300,000,000 team Q are granted and vested. Q Nation is then sold for $3B, so v is $1.

With no team Q granted, the same sale pays the people 95% and a dividend of $2,390,000,000; with half of it granted, 90% and $2,240,000,000.

Without this rule, cancelling the unissued Q would have paid the founder 16.5% and the team 33.0% of this sale. With it, a round 1 buyer is paid $1 a Q at $3B whatever the timing. An early sale still moves money: it unlocks all of the founder's and the team's Q at once, and it pays real members a larger people's dividend. That is why a sale needs both yeses in section 6.3, and why the founder's and the team's Q do not vote on it. An account with no checked work receives nothing from the dividend, however long it has been active (section 6.5).

300,000,000 Q for marketers, bloggers, community leaders and agencies who bring paying customers, under the Builders plan live at /builders: 25% of every payment each month, 40% of the first month, and from 5% down to 1% over seven levels of the Builders they bring in, paid in USDC from company funds. On a Creator Studio plan paid partly with Q, the commission is paid on the card part only. Builders who bring a business earn their commission on Q Nation's share of its jobs: the $30 of a $150 Work Exchange job, after card fees, inside the 45% cap. Each sale also earns Builder Units, each worth 30 Q:

In plain words: ten million Builder Units fill the pool, each earned by a customer who pays.

Leaders who bring active members are paid from the invites pot (section 5.3).

300,000,000 Q, spent only by a vote of THE BOARD: education grants, profession programs, launchpad prizes, events, partnerships, research and grants to guilds. At most 10% of the treasury can be spent in a quarter, which is 30,000,000 Q while it is full, and a passed vote is paid within 14 days. A spend above 0.5% of the treasury also needs a yes from identity-checked members, with 15% of the Q that counts taking part, and waits 7 days. Unspent treasury Q at a sale joins the people's dividend. Section 6.3 covers THE BOARD in full.

Inviting. A friend you invite becomes an active member: you get 160 Q, they get 80 Q. That is the stage 1 amount, from the invites pot. Active means a real buy (Q, at least $20 of $QUIT, or a shop product), or activity on 4 separate days in their first 30. Your Q is paid out over their first 90 days, only while they keep using Q Nation (section 4.5).

Buying Q. No Q is paid on the Q that invited friends buy. Securities counsel names the lawful form of any such reward before one is offered (section 8.4, fact 3).

Buying $QUIT. Referrals on $QUIT buys keep their live rules, paid in $QUIT inside the buy: 5%, 1.5% and 0.5% in the creator program, and 5%, 2.5% and 1% in the partner program, which is closed for now.

One link per person. The first link a visitor uses counts for 365 days.

Claims

From 1,000 READY Q, you can claim Q to your own Solana wallet in the weekly batch, and Q Nation pays the fee. In the wallet it shows but cannot move (section 7.2).

02

Spending

Q pays for AI tools in THE SHOP at the open round's price, or at the Q reference price when no round is open, up to half of a price, within a monthly dollar cap per account. Spent Q goes to the ledger's recycled account to be earned again, and your share falls by what you spent.

03

Q back

5% of every card payment in THE SHOP comes back in Q, at the open round's price or the Q reference price. Cash-back Q is left out of a round's sold count.

04

Cash

Every cash earning lands as CASH (USDC) in your Q Nation wallet, then goes to THE Q CARD, a bank, mobile money or any crypto wallet (section 3.13).

05

THE Q WINDOW

From Q Nation's first profitable quarter, in every quarter with profit, a share of that profit buys Q back from members who want cash, at or below the Q reference price, paid only from profit and never from round money. Offers fill pro rata, with a cap per account; bought Q can be offered after 12 months and earned Q after 6 months READY. THE BOARD sets the share, at most half of the profit not paid out (section 4.3).

A person's Q is worth $1,000,000 when Q Nation is worth:

In plain words: the more Q you hold, the smaller Q Nation needs to be for your Q to be worth a million dollars.

The model checks one example mix: 8 community leaders, 50 marketers, 200 teaching professionals and 2,000 students, 2,258 people in all, 2.26% of stage 1's members. Working this hard they use 59,900,000 of stage 1's 120,000,000 Q and bring 85,000 of its 100,000 members, and every pot pays them in full. Each pot sets its pay every day from what it has left, so when more people do the same work, each action pays less Q. Across the whole stage, the Q each active member can expect is 23,516 for the example mix, 6,653 if 10% of members work and 2,731 if 25% do (Tokenomics Report 13). The same work in a later stage also earns less Q.

Q is a share of Q Nation. This section explains four things: what that share means in law, how owners see the numbers, how owners decide, and how Q Nation makes sure the people it counts are real.

01

THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER

makes Q real ownership in a named company.

02

OPEN BOOKS

shows the owners audited accounts every quarter.

03

THE BOARD

is the owners' meeting, where proposals are made and voted on. It is Q Nation's DAO.

04

The real-member count and the fairness checks

Q Nation's ownership sits inside a real legal company. The Charter is that company's rulebook. It says each Q is one unit of ownership in the company, and it makes Q Nation's ledger the official register of who owns what.

CHARTER RULE SPECIFICATION · 7 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

Charter ruleWhat it means for you

One kind of Q

Bought Q and earned Q carry the same rights.

The ledger is the register

Your Q is recorded in the company's own register, not only inside an app.

An independent trustee

A trustee named in the Charter looks after the people's side. It, or THE BOARD, approves any payment from Q Nation to a company that the Founder or a team member owns (section 8.3). It approves every grant of team Q, and can stop a treasury spend for a conflict of interest.

The owners vote on any sale

Q Nation cannot be sold without the vote in section 6.3.

The 85/15 rule

the Founder is paid at most 5% and the team at most 10% of every payout and any sale (section 5.4).

Q stays with its owner

Q moves to another person only by legal process, such as an estate, a divorce or a court order, handled by the registrar.

Limits on taking Q back

Q Nation can take back claimed Q for three published reasons only: Q you spent, Q returned for a wrong payment, or fraud found by the checks after your appeal. Each use is logged in public with its reason, and takes effect only after a waiting period.

Rules against conflicts of interest.

• Team accounts cannot buy Q in the rounds, and team wallets do not sell $QUIT while a round is open.
• While a sale of Q Nation is being negotiated, the rounds pause, so nobody with inside knowledge can buy ahead of it.
• The founder and the team do not vote on a sale, on treasury spending, or on their own pay.
• No grant of team Q goes to the Founder, Q Nation Engineering or a company the Founder owns.
• No treasury spend goes to the member who proposed it, to a member holding that proposer's votes, or to accounts related to either.

Terms fixed before the first sale. The 85/15 rule, the quorum rule, the lawful buying route and the proof gates on rounds 5 to 10 are in place before the first real Q sale. After that sale, changing them needs the owners' consent. The issuing company and the lawful route in each market are set with Q Nation's securities lawyer (section 8.4, fact 3).

Every quarter, Q Nation publishes audited accounts that any member can read. An owner should be able to check every claim, not take it on trust.

Each quarter also reports seven measures with fixed definitions: revenue per real member, cost per real member, the value of the reward paid for each kind of action, the share of rewards taken back after re-checks, turnout on THE BOARD, the payout ratio, and the founder's and the team's share of every payout.

THE BOARD is Q Nation's DAO: a group that decides by open vote, with each result carried out by set rules. Any member can bring an idea. The owners decide.

RULE SPECIFICATION · 10 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

RuleHow THE BOARD works

Ideas

Any member posts an idea on the ideas wall.

Proposals

A holder of 1,000,000 Q, or 100 members together, turns an idea into a proposal.

Voting weight

1 Q = 1 vote.

Length

Every vote runs for 7 days.

Quorum

A vote counts when at least 5% of the Q that counts on the vote's date takes part.

Ordinary proposals

Pass with more Q voting yes than no.

A sale of Q Nation

Needs two yeses: two thirds of the Q voting, with at least 30% of the Q that counts taking part, and a majority of the voting identity-checked members with a checked record of 90 days or more, one person, one vote, with at least 20% of them taking part. Never below the last round's valuation, with an independent opinion that the price is fair.

Treasury spending

At most 10% of the Community Treasury in any quarter. A spend above 0.5% of the treasury passes both houses, the Q vote and identity-checked members, with at least 15% of the Q that counts taking part, then waits 7 days; the trustee can stop it for a conflict of interest.

Who abstains

Founder and team Q do not vote on a sale, on treasury spending, or on their own pay.

Handing on your vote

A member can hand their votes to their crew or department leader.

Money is not needed to bring a proposal: 100 members can bring one together.

How a proposal moves.

1. A member posts an idea.
2. A big holder, or 100 members together, makes it a proposal.
3. The vote runs for 7 days. Each owner signs their vote in the office.
4. Votes are counted from the Q ledger, and every vote has a public proof.
5. If the proposal passes, the company multisig (a wallet that needs several keys to sign) pays within 14 days.

Later, the same votes run on Solana's governance programs.

The team can stop a vote only to protect members from harm or to comply with the law, and it must say why in public.

The quorum counts the Q that exists

In plain words: a vote needs 5% of the Q that exists and is unlocked on its record date, not 5% of all 3,000,000,000 Q.

\(Q_c\) is the Q that counts on vote v's record date (section 4.1). Q not yet issued and Q still locked do not count.

A quorum of 5% of all Q would be 150,000,000 Q, which is everything sold in rounds 1 and 2 together. In the early years no vote could pass. Counting only the Q that exists keeps the bar reachable at every stage:

EXAMPLE SPECIFICATION · 3 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

Example	Q that counts	Quorum
Rounds 1 to 4 sold, all of stage 1 of the work pool earned, 30,000,000 Builder Q earned, 10,000,000 treasury Q grantedPEOPLE 85%	460,000,000	23,000,000
The same, plus the first unlock of founder and team Q at 100,000 real members	572,500,000	28,625,000
Every Q issued and unlocked	3,000,000,000	150,000,000

A sale needs the owners and the members

In plain words: big holders and ordinary members must both say yes, enough of each must take part, and Q Nation is never sold below the last round's valuation.

\(Y_Q\) and \(N_Q\) are the Q voting yes and no, with founder and team Q left out. \(Y_M\) and \(N_M\) are the identity-checked members with a checked record of 90 days or more voting yes and no, one vote each, and \(M_{90}\) is all such members. An independent firm gives its opinion that the price is fair.

Everything else on THE BOARD is decided by Q, so big holders carry the most weight. A sale is different: it cannot be undone, and it unlocks all of the founder's and the team's Q. So members vote on it as people too. Team accounts are not real members, so they have no voice in the members' count either. The 85/15 rule caps the founder and the team at 15% of any sale, early or late (section 5.4).

The treasury cap

In plain words: the owners can spend at most a tenth of the treasury in any quarter.

In the first quarter that is at most 30,000,000 Q. No single vote can empty the treasury. A spend above 0.5% of the treasury, 1,500,000 Q while it is full, also needs a yes from identity-checked members voting one person, one vote, with at least 15% of the Q that counts taking part. It waits 7 days before it is paid, and the trustee can stop it for a conflict of interest. No spend goes to the proposer, to a member holding the proposer's votes, or to accounts related to either.

A real member is signed in, checked, has taken a real action in the last 30 days, and is not a team account.

In plain words: count each checked person who did something real in the last 30 days, and never a team account.

\(a_m\) is the date of member m's last real action. Q Nation keeps one record per member with that date. A real action is one of three, a closed list: paid work that passed its check, a buy (Q in a round, $QUIT through Q Nation, or a shop or plan payment), or a course passed in THE ACADEMY. Signing in, free play, holding alone, sending invites, profile changes, XP and badges do not count. The milestones and the launchpad gate use the 30-day count, and the work pool releases on the highest audited count ever reached. The weekly number the community sees uses 7 days. Both are published.

REAL MEMBERS SPECIFICATION · 4 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

Real membersWhat the count does

Every new member, stage by stage

Releases the work pool: 1,200 Q per new member in stage 1 (to 100,000), falling to 0.2 Q per new member in stage 5 (to 1,000,000,000)

100,000, then 1,000,000, 10,000,000 and 100,000,000

Unlocks 25% of the Founder's 150,000,000 Q and of the team's 300,000,000 Q at each mark, once the count has held there for 90 days

1,000,000

Live launches can open on THE LAUNCHPAD

At a sale

A majority of the voting identity-checked members must say yes, and the people's dividend is split by Q earned through checked work and held over time

The conflict, and the fix. The team that computes the count is the team whose Q unlocks on it. So an outside firm audits the count, and the counting method is published, before any founder or team unlock and before live launches open. An unlock also needs the count held at or above its mark for 90 days in a row, so a short spike unlocks nothing. OPEN BOOKS shows the live count split into checked and flagged accounts.

No check can stop every fake account. The aim is narrower, and it can be measured: running a fake account should cost more than the Q it can keep.

In plain words: faking pays only while this is above zero. A fake account earns the Q it keeps (q, at the open round's price or the Q reference price, p, minus the share caught and taken back, h), plus its chance of a share of the people's dividend if Q Nation is sold (P_sale times D_i, the dividend share it would collect), minus the cost of keeping it active (c). So Q Nation cuts what a fake account can collect, raises the share caught, and raises the cost of keeping a fake account active.

The pressure grows with the price. Stage 1 releases 1,200 Q into the pots for each new real member. That is worth $2 at the round 1 price and $32 at the round 5 price. The 160 Q an inviter earns goes from $0.27 to $4.27. A phone check alone can be beaten with cheap real SIM numbers, so it is one layer among many.

CHECK SPECIFICATION · 12 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

CheckWhat it stops

Every earned Q waits 7 days while it is checked (WAITING, then READY)

Quick grabs before a check

One person, one account: sign-in plus a phone or Telegram account, a robot check at sign-up, and internet or virtual phone numbers refused

Mass sign-ups

A one-time identity check before anything that pays cash or a large amount of Q: profit payouts, THE Q WINDOW, the people's dividend, MINING, games Q, featured-coin votes, creator bounties and round holds

Farms of cheap real phone numbers collecting the large rewards

CHECKS groups accounts that share a funding wallet, device or address range, and holds the group for a person

Farms run from one place

An invite pays only after the newcomer buys or is active on 4 separate days in their first 30, and the inviter's reward is paid over 90 days of the newcomer's real use

Paid but empty sign-ups

Crews with vouching: you vouch for the people you bring, and lose part of your own reward if one turns out to be fake

Sponsors who do not care who they bring

The WORK PASSPORT: big jobs and bounties go to members with a long checked record, and WORK RANK: MANAGER checks other members' work

New accounts reaching big rewards

A fixed share of paid work is re-checked at random; Q paid in error is taken back through the ledger, with appeal

Work that passed once by luck

Games are dealt and replayed on Q Nation's server; impossible inputs fail; the daily score that counts is capped at the 90th-percentile score of identity-checked players

Scripts, and bots that play perfectly

Daily and weekly caps per person; each pot has a daily budget and holds an amount once shown

One account draining a pot

MINING reads each day's lowest $QUIT balance, and only coins the account bought itself earn

Coins parked for a moment

The team registry: every wallet and account the team runs, including every project-operated, treasury, operational, and team-register wallet or account, and wallets funded by them or trading in step with them, never earns Q and never counts as a member; a wallet first funded from a registry wallet goes to CHECKS

Insiders farming their own system

The last guard sits at a sale, and it guards the largest prize. In the early sale of section 5.4, shared among 100,000 real members, the people's dividend averages $20,900 each ($2,090,000,000 / 100,000). That is about 17 times the $1,200 the same sale pays on the 1,200 Q stage 1 releases for each new member. It is split by Q earned through checked work and held over time, capped at five times the median and paid only after the identity check (section 5.4). An account with no checked work receives nothing, however long it has been kept active. In the model's example of a $60,000,000 sale at 100,000 real members, the median member receives $226, nobody receives more than $1,128, and 50,000 scripted accounts active for 330 days receive $0. A farm that passes the checks on real work is the harder case, and every check in the table above applies to that work.

Q Nation runs on three layers. AI does the work. A ledger, proved on Solana, records who owns what. One account works on any phone, in any language. Under all three, the post-quantum design keeps the people's records sound for the day large quantum computers exist.

TEACH THE AI: the people's data co-op. AI learns a trade from the people who do it, and today that knowledge is scraped or bought once. TEACH THE AI licenses checked, consented data from members and pays them a data dividend each time it earns (section 3.5). Five rules shape the build:

01

Consent travels with the data

Every item carries its maker's consent record. Nothing without one is licensed.

02

The ledger names the payee

It records who made and who checked each item, so each dividend is paid to the right people.

03

Quality decides pay

Items are scored on checked results, on the same Proof of Impact basis as THE JOB BOARD.

04

The first task takes minutes

Right after sign-in, a new member grades five AI answers about their own job and earns their first Q.

05

Only your own know-how

No patient, client, customer or employer data is ever accepted. The checks reject it before anything is paid.

Phase I pilots grading for Q Nation's own CREATOR STUDIO and AI desk, with a target of 1,000 graded items, each with its consent record and payee. Phase II brings the first outside licence; Phase III, one dataset for each department.

Q has no public market by design (section 8.4, fact 1). What it needs is an exact register, and proof that the register is honest. Q Nation keeps the register in its own ledger and uses Solana, where $QUIT (LIVE) already trades, for three jobs: public proofs, claims into a member's own wallet, and settlement in USDC.

The Q ledger (DESIGNED)

One ledger, in Postgres. It is double entry: every entry takes Q out of one account and puts it into another. It is append only: nothing is ever edited, and a correction is a new entry. Each entry carries a reason code and an idempotency key (a unique label that makes a repeated request harmless), and writes are serializable, so two requests at the same moment cannot spend the same Q twice.

Corrections

the treasury's USDC, and one account for each payment

In plain words: Q only ever moves between accounts, so the total is always the whole of Q Nation, never more.

Seven rules are checked on every write where that is cheap, and in full every day:

1. No balance goes below zero.
2. Inside the 750,000,000 Q Rounds Vault sit the 300,000,000 Q Strategic Founding Reserve and ten public rounds of at most 45,000,000 Q each, opening strictly in order.
3. No pot pays out more than the release allows at the highest audited count of real members.
4. The Q on Solana equals the sum of every member's claimed account.
5. The USDC the treasury received equals the sum of settled payments.
6. No reward sits in waiting past 7 days without an open review case.
7. The recycled account never pays out more Q than it has taken in.

In plain words: every Q in a wallet is matched by a line in the ledger, checked every day.

Idempotency keys make retries harmless: a payment is keyed by its Solana signature and instruction index, a day of holding by the day and the account. A repeated message finds its key used and changes nothing.

The ledger's write-ahead log is archived off site continuously, so at most 5 minutes of entries are ever at risk, and a restore is rehearsed every month. If the Q service cannot be reached, the buying page shows payments closed. When it returns, the payments watcher replays the treasury's history from the last slot it processed.

Check your Q is counted: the daily proof (DESIGNED)

Every day the ledger builds a Merkle-sum tree of all member balances and publishes its top value, the root. Each box in the tree joins the two boxes below it:

In plain words: each box holds a fingerprint of the two boxes under it and the sum of their Q, so no balance can be dropped or shrunk without changing the top.

In plain words: among one billion members, your proof is 30 steps, about 1.2 KB, checked by a phone in a fraction of a second.

A member checks in the WALLET tab:

1. Tap CHECK YOUR Q IS COUNTED. The app fetches your proof for the day.
2. It rebuilds the path from your balance to the top and compares it with that day's published root. A match means your Q is inside the total.

An open-source checker lets anyone verify each root and both of its signatures (section 7.4) outside Q Nation's app.

Claims: Q in your own wallet (DESIGNED)

A member can claim Q into their own Solana wallet, where it shows but cannot be moved.

01

The token

Solana Token-2022 with the non-transferable extension, a Permanent Delegate held by the company multisig, and metadata (name Q, the Pyramid-Q image). 6 decimals.

02

Weekly roots

Each week the multisig approves one Merkle root of that week's claims. Members claim against it. Claiming opens at 1,000 READY Q. Q Nation pays the network fee and the rent, about 0.0021 SOL for each new holder account.

03

The Permanent Delegate

It lets Q Nation burn claimed Q when a member spends it (after they confirm), take back Q paid in error, recover a lost wallet, and carry out a move ordered by legal process. It is limited to the published reasons in THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER (section 6.1). Every use is a ledger entry with its reason code, and the member can appeal.

04

Proved before it is promised

No screen says "it shows in your wallet" until a test mint displays in Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and the Privy wallet, and the delegate's burn is proved on a test network.

USDC settlement (DESIGNED)

Every Q purchase settles in USDC, whatever the buyer paid with.

01

Card or Apple Pay

Privy's funding window (Stripe, with MoonPay or Coinbase where Stripe does not reach, such as the UAE) buys USDC into the buyer's own Q Nation wallet. This window is LIVE for $QUIT today. Card disputes go to the card provider, because the card buys USDC into the buyer's own wallet.

02

One tap

A card buyer holds USDC but no SOL for the network fee, so the Q service builds the transaction and co-signs it as fee payer. It co-signs only when the transaction's sole effects are the payment to the treasury and its memo.

03

Crypto

USDC or SOL from any wallet; SOL is swapped to USDC in the same transaction. The 10-minute price hold covers the time between quote and payment.

04

The payments watcher

follows the treasury's USDC account live and records each payment once, keyed by its signature.

Keys. The treasury and the Permanent Delegate sit only on the company multisig. The fee-payer key holds a small balance. Every payment is tied to one signed-in member.

One account

Every language

• Arabic and Urdu mirror the whole layout, right to left.
• Layouts leave room for text 40% longer than English, and no important words are baked into art.
• Numbers and dates follow the language: 12,400 in English, 12.400 in Spanish and Indonesian, 12 400 in French.

Local money (DESIGNED)

• Prices show in the member's currency beside USD: "$100 · 367 AED" in the UAE, "$100 · Rp 1.587.000" in Indonesia.
• Paying in: Apple Pay or card, USDC or SOL, and local ways such as a bank transfer or a QR payment where they exist.
• Cash out: every cash earning lands as USDC in the member's Q Nation wallet, then goes to THE Q CARD (provider to be chosen), a bank, mobile money (M-PESA, PIX, UPI, GCash) or any crypto wallet.
• Where a way is not offered yet, the screen says so ("THE CARD IS NOT IN YOUR COUNTRY YET") and shows the others.

Where people already are (DESIGNED)

• Phone first: drawn at 390 px, working at 320 px, tap targets of at least 44 px. Desktop at 1440 px.
• Works inside Telegram's, Instagram's and TikTok's in-app browsers, where most members first tap a link.

Reading each $QUIT holder's history wallet by wallet grows with holders times history

Every $QUIT transfer is read once into one table; a wallet not yet read earns nothing that day and shows "checking"

Q Nation uses no quantum technology today, and nothing in Q Nation runs on a quantum computer. This design is defensive. It keeps the people's records and keys sound on the day large quantum computers exist.

Two known quantum algorithms matter. Shor's algorithm, on a large enough quantum computer, would forge the elliptic-curve signatures (such as Ed25519) that Solana wallets and most websites use today. Grover's algorithm speeds up guessing against hashes and symmetric keys, but only by a square root:

In plain words: a 256-bit key keeps about 128 bits of strength, a level no computer can break today.

So the design rests on hashes and on the post-quantum standards NIST published in August 2024 (FIPS 203 to 205).

MEASURE SPECIFICATION · 7 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

#	Measure	What it does	Standard	Status
1	Hash-based ledger proofs	Every member's "check your Q is counted" proof is built on SHA-256 hashes, which known quantum attacks do not break at this size	SHA-256	DESIGNED, with the ledger in Phase I
2	A daily post-quantum signature	Each day's root is signed twice: the usual Ed25519 signature and SLH-DSA, a hash-based signature. Both are published.	SLH-DSA, FIPS 205	DESIGNED, from the ledger's first day
3PEOPLE 85%	Quantum-ready treasury vaults	The Community Treasury and the company multisig move to hash-based one-time-signature vaults (the open-source Solana Winternitz Vault program, available since January 2025), then to ML-DSA or SLH-DSA as Solana adopts them	ML-DSA, FIPS 204; SLH-DSA, FIPS 205	ROADMAP, Phase IV at the latest
4	Hybrid post-quantum connections	Sign-in and app traffic use X25519 combined with ML-KEM-768, the hybrid that major browsers and networks already ship, so traffic recorded today cannot be opened later by a quantum computer	ML-KEM-768, FIPS 203	ROADMAP, Phase IV at the latest
5	Crypto-agility	Every key sits behind one signing layer with a full key inventory, so an algorithm can be replaced across the whole system without a rebuild		ROADMAP, Phase IV at the latest
6	Encryption at rest	Member data is encrypted with 256-bit keys	256-bit symmetric keys	DESIGNED
7	Quantum-inspired optimisation	Q Nation tests quantum-inspired optimisation against its current methods, for the AI desk and for matching work to people, and uses it only if it wins on Q Nation's own data		RESEARCH

Items 1, 2 and 6 cost little and protect the record from the first day. An SLH-DSA signature is large (7,856 bytes at the smallest standard setting, against 64 for Ed25519), which does not matter at one signature a day. Items 3 to 5 depend partly on Solana's own move to the new standards.

See the live parts today on qnation.tech: the reels engine on /apply, the AI desk at /go/desk, and Builders at /builders.

Q Nation grows in five phases. A phase ends when Q Nation reaches a number of real members, never on a date. This section sets out what opens in each phase, who builds Q Nation, and the material facts every buyer and member should know before they take part.

Two measured numbers move Q Nation forward. Neither one runs on the calendar.

The member clock. The audited real-member count (section 6.4) does three things at each mark. The release follows the highest count ever reached, and an unlock needs the count held at the mark for 90 days in a row:

1. It releases the next stage of the work pool.
2. It unlocks the next quarter of the Founder's and the team's Q.
3. It opens the next set of products.

In plain words: for each member mark Q Nation passes (100,000, then 1 million, 10 million and 100 million), one quarter of the Founder's and the team's Q unlocks.

The revenue clock. Rounds 1 to 4 need no revenue mark. From round 5, a round opens only when Q Nation's yearly revenue run rate, measured on OPEN BOOKS over the last two audited quarters, reaches one tenth of that round's valuation: $12.8M a year for round 5, doubling each round to $409.6M for round 10 (section 5.2).

The member clock decides what opens. The revenue clock decides when the people's rounds may sell at a higher price.

The starting point is what already runs today: the show, live 24/7; 5 arcade games; the reels engine on /apply, with 47 studio reels and 29 memes in the gallery and Marie's first creator reel reaching 5,373 organic plays; the AI trading desk, live since 2 Nov 2026; the Builders program at /builders; and the Company Store.

Each phase is also a scenario for what Q Nation could be worth. It rests on two assumptions: a revenue per real member each year, and a multiple of that revenue.

In plain words: Q Nation's value is a multiple (m) of the yearly revenue of its real members.

The plan uses a multiple of 10. The table below shows the value of Q Nation in each phase at 5 and at 10 times revenue, with revenue per member at half the plan, the plan, and 1.5 times the plan. Half the multiple, or half the revenue per member, halves every value. 1 Q is worth the value divided by 3,000,000,000.

A second view values Q Nation on gross profit instead of revenue: yearly revenue after the costs of each sale, at the blended contribution margin of the costed revenue lines (section 4.2), times 10.

What the scenarios show:

01

Value follows two numbers anyone can check

Real members and revenue per member are both published every quarter on OPEN BOOKS, so each assumption in the table is tested in public, phase by phase.

02

Each phase needs ten times the members and more from each

Yearly revenue grows 13 times from Phase I to II, 12.5 times to III, 12 times to IV and 25 times to V.

03

Revenue per member rises from $60 to $300

That rise has to come from the engines that earn from members' work: THE WORK EXCHANGE, data licences, guild products and transition partners.

04

The gates follow the same arithmetic

At Phase I's $6M a year, no gated round opens, since round 5 needs $12.8M. At Phase II's $80M, rounds 5 to 7 are open. From Phase III, all ten are. Phase I's value at ten times the plan's revenue, $60M, sits below round 5's $128M valuation, and the gate keeps round 5 closed until revenue backs it.

Phase I. Launch: 0 to 100,000 real members

01

Q, its ledger and YOUR OFFICE

(HOME, PLAY, EARN, WALLET), in 20+ languages from the first screen, with right-to-left layouts and local currency next to USD.

02

THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER and OPEN BOOKS

, before the first real Q sale.

03

The people's rounds 1 to 4

, on the offering route the lawyer sets, country by country (section 8.4, fact 3). A tranche for professional investors inside the rounds' 25% bridges the way to round 5 (section 4.8).

04

THE JOB BOARD

with tasks, raids, bounties and events, plus THE ACADEMY, DEPARTMENTS and CREWS with vouching. Every member's WORK PASSPORT starts recording on day one.

05

THE WORK EXCHANGE pilot

The first cash jobs are reels and websites for businesses the Builders bring.

06

TEACH THE AI pilot

Members grade AI answers for Q Nation's own CREATOR STUDIO and AI desk.

07

THE BOARD

and Dunk the Boss.

08

THE LAUNCHPAD and CHAIR RALLY

in practice SOL.

The mark: 100,000 audited real members. By then OPEN BOOKS lets anyone compare actual revenue per real member with the $60 a year the scenario assumes.

Phase II. Launchpad live: 100,000 to 1,000,000 real members

01

Live launches on THE LAUNCHPAD

, at 1,000,000 audited real members, then the Founder's switch.

02

The first outside data licence

from TEACH THE AI, with a data dividend paid to the members who made the data.

03

TRANSITION PARTNERS

Employers, unions and workforce agencies pay Q Nation to retrain and place their people.

04

The first GUILDS

, THE SHOP at full size, departments worldwide, and a public WORK PASSPORT with a HIRE key.

The mark: 1,000,000 audited real members.

Phase III. AI workers for everyone: 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 real members

01

A personal AI worker for every member

It takes jobs from THE WORK EXCHANGE, and the member is its pilot.

02

THE WORK EXCHANGE as Q Nation's main income

Accessible entry threshold enabling broad community participation.

03

Guilds at scale

Each department builds and sells the AI kit for its own trade: dispatch and logbook AI for drivers, menu and reel AI for restaurants, intake and scheduling AI for clinics. The members who build and run a kit share in its revenue.

04

TEACH THE AI at full size

, with one licensed dataset per department.

The mark: 10,000,000 audited real members.

Phase IV. Global: 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 real members

01

An AI services marketplace in every language

Accessible entry threshold enabling broad community participation.

02

THE WORK PROTOCOL

Outside AI companies put their AI workers on Q Nation's job rails. Members pilot them, and the developer, the pilot and Q Nation each take a share.

03

The post-quantum roadmap items, finished by this phase at the latest

quantum-ready treasury vaults, hybrid post-quantum connections and one signing layer over every key (section 7.4, items 3 to 5).

04

The last quarter of the Founder's and the team's Q unlocks

at 100,000,000 real members.

The mark: 100,000,000 audited real members.

Phase V. The people's economy: 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 real members

The last stage of the work pool, 180,000,000 Q, about 0.2 Q for each new member. One billion people, each owning a piece of the AI that works for them.

Outside the member clock

Four things open on their own conditions, whatever the member count: real Q payments, in each country once the issuing company exists, the lawyer's written route for that country is in hand and the country is on the list, then the Founder's switch (section 8.4, fact 3); profit payouts, once there is distributable profit (section 8.4, fact 6); THE Q WINDOW, from Q Nation's first profitable quarter, buying Q back only in a quarter with profit (section 4.3); and THE Q CARD, country by country, once its provider is chosen.

Q Nation is conceived, architected, and built by the Founder and Q Nation Engineering.

The Founder and Chief Engineer of Q, Q Nation, and Q Nation Engineering.

• Architect of Universal Basic Ownership, author of The Q White Paper, and designer of the 3,000,000,000 Q constitutional tokenomics specification.
• 50+ production software, AI, and distributed systems platforms shipped in 9 years across six continents.
• Inventor of the patent-pending Proof of Impact consensus architecture. THE JOB BOARD is built on Proof of Impact, by the Founder.
• Chainlink hackathon champion, 2021.
• Member of Microsoft for Startups and Google for Startups.
• Principal investigator on research contracts with SANEDI and EU Eureka.

A receipt is kept for each of these credentials.

How the founder's firm is paid and how public round proceeds are allocated. Q Nation Engineering builds Q Nation under a written build agreement setting scope, rates and approval gates, published on OPEN BOOKS from Phase I. Any payment from Q Nation to an entity owned by the founder or a team member requires independent trustee or BOARD approval and quarterly OPEN BOOKS disclosure. Proceeds across the ten public rounds (R1 $8M to R10 $4.096B, raising up to $122,760,000) follow a constitutional five-way operating split alongside the member-governed 300,000,000 Q Community Treasury:

What the founder and team hold. The Founder holds 5% of Q Nation (150,000,000 Q). The team holds 10% (300,000,000 Q). Team Q counts only once it is granted to a named person under a signed agreement and vested; the trustee approves every grant, OPEN BOOKS lists each one, and no grant goes to the Founder, Q Nation Engineering or a company the Founder owns. Their Q unlocks on the member clock in section 8.1, or at a sale, under the 85/15 rule (section 5.4). Team accounts cannot buy in the rounds, team wallets do not sell $QUIT while a round is open, and Founder and team do not vote on a sale of Q Nation, on treasury spending, or on their own pay.

ROUNDS SPECIFICATION · 3 ROWSCONSTITUTIONAL INVARIANT · VERIFIED

Rounds	They raise up to	A route they fit

10	$61,440,000	A further Regulation A Tier 2 year

Both US routes need an issuing company organised in the US; Regulation A also accepts one organised in Canada. Buyers outside the US go through Regulation S and local rules. The tranche for professional investors (section 4.8) goes through an exempt route the lawyer picks: Regulation D 506(c), Regulation S, or offers to professional clients in ADGM or DIFC. The lawyer's answer sets the date payments open. Every paid post starts 'Paid 10 Q by Q Nation #ad', with the real amount. Posts about Q carry no bought views or reactions, and no team-run account posts, reacts or replies about Q.

In plain words: half or more of distributable profit is paid out (section 4.3). A quarter without profit pays nothing, and neither does a profit that only makes back earlier losses.

THE Q WINDOW also runs on profit alone, never on round money. The first payout comes once audited profit has made back all earlier losses and six months of costs are kept in reserve, and OPEN BOOKS shows each quarter's accounts so every member can check the sum.
