Quant Network Developer Community

Can someone explain what role the QNT token actually plays in the QNT ecosystem? If I’m using Quant products but paying my subscription in £, €, $, etc., where does the QNT token come into the equation? I also can’t see anything in the new agreements saying that Quant Network will buy QNT from the market and lock it up for licence fees. Am I missing something here? 🤔
