Buy your API capacity forward. Settle it on-chain, in USDC.
Reserve the rate and call volume you need for the term at today’s price — before a demand spike throttles you or reprices it. Margin, settlement and penalties clear on-chain, never inside a vendor’s closed ledger.
How it works
Three moves from exposure to control
Order matters here. You open the position first, then route your traffic through it — the forward has to exist before a single call can be metered against it.
Lock the forward
Choose a vendor, tier and the call volume you expect to burn, then post $QUORIX margin against USDC-denominated terms. The position is written on-chain and bound to your wallet the moment it opens.
Wire up the gateway
Mint a Quorix API key and point your baseURL at our gateway with the TypeScript SDK — a one-line swap. From then on your traffic clears through Quorix instead of talking to the vendor directly.
Consume as you go
Every request is metered and drawn down from your locked balance in real time. The dashboard keeps you honest with remaining volume, a full call history and the exact expiry of the term.
Marketplace
Forward marketplace
Live offers posted by liquidity providers across the vendor tiers going out in the MVP — each one a fixed rate and call volume you can lock in today.
On-chain truth, off-chain speed
Money and ownership live in the network, where they can be verified by anyone. Speed and convenience sit right next to them, reconciled back to the chain when a position closes.
What the network guarantees
- Margin is locked and accounted for in the program.
- USDC settlement clears against the position at expiry.
- Opening, redeeming and buying back a position are live on-chain.
What keeps it fast
- Call metering and usage logs run at request speed.
- Balance caches serve reads without touching the chain.
- Authentication and session state stay off the critical path.
The stack, end to end

- Smart contractAnchor · Rust
Forward positions, margin, USDC settlement and buyback; staking in the Stage 2 preview.
Why $QUORIX exists
Buyers always pay in USDC. $QUORIX is the collateral and the incentive that hold the protocol together — it is never the means of payment for API access.
Forward margin
$QUORIX collateral backs each open position. It stays locked for the term and is released the moment the position is redeemed.
Buyback & burn
A share of protocol fees is used to buy back $QUORIX on the market and burn it, steadily shrinking circulating supply.
Fee discount
Pay the protocol fee in $QUORIX instead of USDC and earn a reduced rate — cheaper hedging for holders who use it.
Provider staking
Liquidity providers stake $QUORIX as SLA collateral, earn USDC yield on delivered capacity, and risk slashing for under-delivery.
Staker share
A share of protocol fees is distributed to stakers, pro-rata to the size of their stake in the network.
Secondary market
Trade forwards and leveraged positions to other participants before they expire, opening a full lifecycle for hedged capacity.
Scarcity tracks real usage, not speculation. $QUORIX locked in margin scales with the volume of hedged capacity moving through the protocol — the more API access flows through Quorix, the more of the supply is held in open positions.
Roadmap
Roadmap
The stage order is fixed. Each one ships only on the foundation the previous stage already proved in production — no leapfrogging.
Forward marketplace
- One or two API tiers live at launch
- Buy a forward and settle the term in USDC
- Gateway proxy that meters every call
- Real-time consumption dashboard
- First-class TypeScript SDK
LP staking & supply
- Liquidity providers stake to write offers
- Every offer backed by an SLA stake
- Stake locks against each purchase
- Live SLA delivery and USDC earnings
- Bring your own vendor key
Vendor partnerships
- Formalize hedged capacity with providers
- Contract terms negotiated at the source
- Expand the tier list well past the MVP
Secondary market
- Trade open positions before expiry
- Take leveraged positions on rate moves
- Price discovery across the forward curve
Fix your rate before the next load spike.
The marketplace runs on Solana today. Everything past the MVP is labeled by stage, right here on the page — we don't dress up a roadmap as a finished product.
