What comes next

MagnetGate's use of RQT grows in phases. Each phase uses only what Requant's consensus already has.

Phase 1: prepaid full access — live on the test network

• Deposit address per code from an offline list; no keys on the server
• Crediting after 6 confirmations, once per payment; balance carried over
• Days with discounts; code extended by the paid days
• Separate full-access listeners on both exit nodes
• Payment screen in the Windows and Android apps
• Payment screen in the macOS app
• Free tier lowered to 2–3 Mbit/s once most apps have updated
• Payment settings and deposits visible and editable in the operator's admin panel
• A clearer entry point to full access on the app's home screen

In-app wallet

• A wallet inside MagnetGate with an encrypted key-file backup and local signing, so paying does not need a second app
• Balance, history and "pay for N days" in one screen

Phase 2: exits earn RQT

• People who run exit nodes receive RQT for the traffic they carry: half of what users pay, shared by measured traffic
• Payout addresses for exits and batched payouts
• More countries through community exits

Phase 3: pay as you go

• One-way payment channels: a client deposits into a 2-of-2 output with a refund after a time lock and signs ever larger payments to the exit
• No per-payment transaction on the chain; the channel closes with one

Requant already has the spending conditions these channels need.

On the main network

• New deposit wallet and addresses for the main network (rq1…), and main-network prices
• Confirmation depth scaled with the amount
• Ways to get RQT besides mining: swaps with Bitcoin-family, EVM and Monero chains
