Quant (QNT) builds Overledger — enterprise middleware that connects any blockchain to any other blockchain and to existing enterprise systems. It targets banks, governments, and large corporations rather than retail DeFi users.
History and Founders
Founded by Gilbert Verdian, former Chief Information Security Officer at the UK Ministry of Justice and Vocalink (Mastercard company). Verdian also helped create the ISO TC307 blockchain standard. This deep enterprise background shapes Quant’s institutional focus.
How Overledger Works
Overledger is an API gateway that lets enterprises build multi-chain applications without choosing a single blockchain. It connects to Ethereum, Bitcoin, Hyperledger, and traditional systems through a unified interface. Think of it as middleware — the plumbing between blockchains and enterprise IT. See blockchain guide.
