token operations

This guide covers the QOR token, how to send and receive tokens, query balances, and understand the fee distribution model on QoreChain.

Token Information

Property	Value
Display Denomination	QOR
Base Denomination	uqor
Conversion	1 QOR = 1,000,000 uqor (10^6)
Chain ID	qorechain-diana
Bech32 Prefix	qor (e.g., qor1abc...xyz)

All on-chain amounts are denominated in uqor. When submitting transactions, always specify amounts in uqor.

Sending Tokens

To transfer QOR tokens from one account to another:

qorechaind tx bank send <from_address> <to_address> <amount>uqor \
  --chain-id qorechain-diana \
  --fees 500uqor

Example: Send 5 QOR (5,000,000 uqor) to another address:

qorechaind tx bank send qor1sender... qor1recipient... 5000000uqor \
  --chain-id qorechain-diana \
  --fees 500uqor

You can also use a key name instead of a raw address for the sender:

qorechaind tx bank send mykey qor1recipient... 5000000uqor \
  --chain-id qorechain-diana \
  --fees 500uqor

Querying Balances

Check the balance of any account:

qorechaind query bank balances <address>

Example:

qorechaind query bank balances qor1abc...xyz

Sample output:

balances:
- amount: "15000000"
  denom: uqor
pagination:
  next_key: null
  total: "0"

This indicates the account holds 15 QOR (15,000,000 uqor).

Fee Structure

Transaction fees on QoreChain are distributed across four destinations to align network incentives:

Destination	Share	Purpose
Validators	40%	Rewards block producers and secures the network
Burned	30%	Permanently removed from supply, creating deflationary pressure
Treasury	20%	Funds protocol development and ecosystem grants
Stakers	10%	Distributed proportionally to all delegators

Burn Channels

QoreChain implements a multi-channel burn mechanism. QOR tokens are permanently removed from circulation through 10 distinct channels:

Channel	Description
tx_fee	The 30% burn portion of every transaction fee
governance_penalty	Burned when governance proposals fail to reach quorum or are vetoed
slashing_burn	Burned portion of slashed validator stakes
bridge_fee	Fee burned on cross-chain bridge transfers
spam_deterrent	Additional burn applied to flagged spam transactions
epoch_excess	Excess inflation beyond target burned at epoch boundaries
manual_burn	Community-initiated token burns via governance proposal
contract_callback	Fees burned on smart contract callback executions
cross_vm_fee	Burned when executing cross-VM (e.g., EVM to CosmWasm) calls
rollup_create	1% of the minimum stake burned when deploying a new rollup

You can query the total burned amount across all channels:

qorechaind query bank total --denom uqor

Tips

• Always double-check recipient addresses before sending tokens. Transactions on QoreChain are irreversible.

• Use the --dry-run flag to simulate a transaction without broadcasting it.

• Use --gas auto to let the node estimate the required gas for your transaction.

• The minimum fee for a standard transfer is 500 uqor.
