How to Swap Assets on Quantova QSWAP
Quantova introduces a new financial execution paradigm through QDEFI Quantum Decentralised Finance, designed for an environment where cryptographic longevity, deterministic execution, and institutional grade assurance are essential.
At the center of this ecosystem is QSWAP, Quantova’s native decentralised exchange. QSWAP is not an external application or adapter layer; it is a first class financial component purpose built for the Quantova Network.
All swap activity on QSWAP is executed directly on the Quantova Virtual Machine QVM a quantum resistant execution environment engineered to provide predictable state transitions, controlled permissions, and long term cryptographic resilience.
User interaction and transaction authorization are handled exclusively through QMask, Quantova’s native wallet and permission gateway. Together, QMask and QSWAP define how value is exchanged, authorised, and settled within the Quantova Network.
Execution fees and network operations are powered by QTOV, the native asset that underpins transaction finality and system integrity.
This guide explains how to exchange Quantova network assets using QSWAP while maintaining full custody, clear execution intent, and cryptographic assurance.
Prerequisites
Before initiating a swap on Quantova, ensure that you
Have a QMask wallet securely configured
- Have a QMask wallet securely configured
- Hold assets native to or wrapped onto the Quantova Network
- Maintain sufficient QTOV for execution and settlement
- Understand that all transactions are executed within QVM
1. Access QSWAP on the Quantova Network
Open QSWAP, Quantova’s native exchange layer, designed to express QDEFI principles directly within the network rather than relying on external liquidity venues.
2. Connect QMask
Authorize access using QMask.
QMask functions as the sole interface for identity, permissions, and transaction approval across the Quantova ecosystem.
3. Select Assets for Exchange
Choose the Quantova network assets you wish to exchange.
All assets available on QSWAP are executed and settled under QVM governance rules.
4. Define Swap Parameters
Enter the amount to be exchanged and review execution parameters, including expected output and QTOV denominated execution costs.
5. Authorize Execution in QMask
Confirm the transaction in QMask.
This approval grants QVM permission to execute the swap precisely as defined, without discretionary behavior or external dependency.
6. On Chain Execution & Settlement
The swap is executed within the Quantova Network and finalized on chain.
Updated balances are reflected in QMask immediately upon completion.
Additional Context
What is QSWAP?
QSWAP is Quantova’s native exchange mechanism, designed to express Quantum Decentralised Finance at the protocol level rather than as an application overlay.
What role does QVM play?
QVM provides the execution environment in which all swaps occur, enabling deterministic behavior and cryptographic resilience against future computational threats.Do users retain custody?
Do users retain custody?
Yes. Users retain full control of their assets at all times. Transactions require explicit authorization through QMask.
Why QTOV?
QTOV anchors execution, settlement, and economic security across the Quantova Network.
