Architecture, contracts, and economics.
Designed for users who want to evaluate the system at a deeper level.
A technical overview of the systems powering MoveQuest. Real contract addresses, real tokenomics, real tradeoffs. This page is meant to be scanned, cross-referenced, and verified — not read once and forgotten.
How to interpret what follows.
MoveQuest's architecture wasn't optimized in isolation — each decision reflects a position on what crypto should be. These six principles frame the rest of this document.
Avalanche today. MQT L1 mid-summer 2026.
MoveQuest runs on Avalanche C-Chain through testnet and the early protocol launch. The dedicated MQT chain ships mid-summer 2026 as a sovereign L1 designed around activity-driven block production. The protocol contracts remain queryable across both phases.
- Current chain
- Avalanche C-Chain (EVM compatible).chainId 43114
- Testnet
- Avalanche Fuji.chainId 43113
- Future L1
- MQT mainnet. Sovereign chain. Mid-summer 2026.
- Block explorer
- snowscan.xyz· all current contracts indexed
- Public RPC
- L1 endpoint forthcoming
- Bridge architecture
- Cross-chain message passing planned for MQT mainnet · user-side migration not required
All on-chain. All verifiable.
Each contract below can be inspected directly on the block explorer. Source verification is in progress for the contracts that aren't already verified.
How MQT enters circulation.
MQT distribution is dynamic, scaled to verified activity, and structurally non-inflationary at the protocol layer. The numbers below describe the design; live state can be queried directly from the VAD contract.
- Distribution model
- Dynamic mining, scaled to verified PoPA submissions across the active network
- Emission
- Curve documentation forthcoming
- Sinks
- Hatchery commitments, evolution merges, ecosystem fees
- Pre-launch
- No VC allocation · No private round · No team unlock cliff · No insider distribution
- Treasury
- Treasury policy forthcoming
Proof of Physical Activity.
PoPA is the activity engine. Verified physical activity gets signed by the user's device, submitted to the protocol, and accepted (or rejected) by the contract. This section describes the verification path without revealing the surface that anti-cheat operates against.
- Activity sources
- Apple HealthKit · Google Health Connect · device-signed step and workout data
- Verification
- Device-side cryptographic signing · server-side aggregation and validation · contract-level acceptance
- Submission cadence
- Per-user, daily. Activity that occurs but isn't submitted is not retroactively counted.
- Cost
- Submission fee, paid in the chain's native gas token. Typical cost: cents per submission.
- Anti-cheat
- Multi-layer integrity checks at device, aggregation, and chain layers. Specific detection logic intentionally not published.
- Privacy
- Raw health data does not leave the device. Only verified activity summaries are submitted on-chain.
How daily MQT is computed.
Per-day mining for a single wallet is a function of three inputs: total active mining power (volts across docked miners), verified PoPA for the day, and the active network's distribution coefficient. The protocol's coefficient floats; the wallet's contribution is deterministic given its state.
- wallet_active_volts
- Sum of volts across miners docked and active for the day. Phantom 100 · Trailblazer 100 · Explorer 150 · Vanguard 200 · Titan 400.
- popa_factor
- Binary or graded based on verified submission for the day. No submission, no mining.
- network_coefficient
- Distribution coefficient set per-period by protocol logic, scaled inversely to network-wide active mining power.
- Calculator
- Interactive estimator forthcoming
Activity-gated farming cycles.
Hatcheries are not staking. A miner committed to a hatchery cycle farms rewards on a given day only if PoPA was submitted that day. The cycle runs on a structured timer, but the farming is gated by continued activity throughout that timer.
- Cycle structure
- Fixed-duration commitment windows during which a miner is allocated to the hatchery
- Activity gating
- Daily PoPA submission required for farming credit that day · missed days do not retroactively reward
- Multiplier accrual
- Cycle-level multipliers, capped per tier, with continuity bonuses for streak-active wallets
- Commitment break
- Early exit permitted with a defined cost · structural disincentive, not a slash
- Capacity
- Per-tier limits on simultaneous hatchery participation
Tier progression through merge.
Evolution lets two same-tier miners merge into a single higher-tier miner. The mechanic is one-way, capped at Tier 05 (Titan), and consumes both inputs. QCHIPs participate in the assembly path for mid-tier outcomes.
- Merge requirements
- Two same-tier miners · matching wallet · evolution path available for that tier
- QCHIPs
- Required for Trailblazer and Explorer assembly · not required for Vanguard or Titan merges
- Capacity multiplier
- Output tier produces the volt total of its position in the tier table — not a multiple of the inputs
- Irreversibility
- Merged miners cannot be un-merged. Both inputs are consumed.
- Tier ceiling
- Titan (Tier 05) is the apex. No further evolution path exists at this time.
