LNQ Token Economy
LNQ is the utility token that powers the LinqProtocol compute marketplace. Here's how it works.
What is LNQ?
LNQ is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum that serves as the native currency for LinqProtocol. Every deployment, every escrow, every provider payment flows through LNQ.
LNQ is used to fund escrows, pay providers, and settle compute usage across the network.

Payment for Compute
Developers fund deployments with LNQ. It's locked in escrow contracts until work is complete.
Provider Earnings
Providers earn LNQ for the compute resources they supply. Payments accrue in escrow and can be withdrawn anytime.
Protocol Fees
A small fee on each escrow sustains network development, security, and operations.
