Token Operations

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

note

The commands below use the qorechain-diana testnet (EVM chain ID 9800). Mainnet (qorechain-vladi, EVM chain ID 9801) has been live since 29 June 2026 on the v3.2 line (node release v3.2.1; the testnet runs v3.2.2) — substitute the mainnet chain ID and endpoints from the Connecting to Mainnet page when transacting on mainnet.

Sign with tx pqc cosign

Mainnet and testnet require a hybrid post-quantum signature on every Cosmos-lane transaction, so the commands on this page do not broadcast as written. Add --generate-only > tx.json to a command, then run qorechaind tx pqc cosign tx.json --from mykey --pqc-key mypqc --chain-id <chain-id>. See Hybrid signing. QoreX and the Dashboard do this signing for you.

Token Information

Property	Value
Display Denomination	QOR
Base Denomination	uqor
Conversion	1 QOR = 1,000,000 uqor (10^6)
Chain ID	qorechain-vladi (mainnet) / qorechain-diana (testnet)
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 \
  --gas 400000 --fees 40000uqor

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

qorechaind tx bank send qor1sender... qor1recipient... 5000000uqor \
  --chain-id qorechain-diana \
  --gas 400000 --fees 40000uqor

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 \
  --gas 400000 --fees 40000uqor

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 five destinations to align network incentives:

Destination	Share	Purpose
Validators	37%	Rewards block producers and secures the network
Burned	30%	Permanently removed from supply
Treasury	20%	Funds protocol development and ecosystem grants
Stakers	10%	Distributed proportionally to all delegators
Light Nodes	3%	Reserved for light-node rewards (see the note below)

The split applies to everything that enters the fee collector, which holds transaction fees and the staking emission minted each epoch. The light-node share accrues to a reserve; light-node reward registration is not open yet, so no node is currently paid from it (see Light Node). Since the v3.2.0 upgrade the staker share is paid out as a normal staking reward (see Tokenomics).

Burn Channels

QoreChain's burn module defines 12 burn sources. QOR burned through any of them is permanently removed from circulation. On mainnet only the gas-fee channel has recorded burns so far; the others are defined but have recorded nothing.

Channel	Description
gas_fee	30% of all gas fees are burned
contract_create	Flat 100 QOR fee burned per contract creation (inactive: CosmWasm upload is closed)
ai_service	50% of AI service fees burned (inactive: AI service fees are not live)
bridge_fee	100% of bridge fees burned (inactive: the bridge is not live)
treasury_buyback	Periodic buyback-and-burn from the treasury
failed_tx	Failed-transaction gas; applied by the chain from v3.2.2 (testnet only so far)
xqore_penalty	xQORE early-exit penalties routed through burn (xQORE is not live)
auto_buyback	Protocol-level automated burns (inactive)
tge	Reserved; the TGE burn happened before genesis and this channel records nothing
rollup_create	1% of the rollup creation stake is burned
milestone	Scheduled burns at fixed cumulative transaction counts (none triggered yet)
amm	Reserved for AMM protocol fees (none recorded)

The burn module has no CLI query; read the cumulative burn per source from REST:

curl -s https://api.qore.host/qorechain/burn/v1/stats

The response lists total_burned and burns_by_source (in uqor). Current total supply is qorechaind query bank total-supply-of uqor.

Tips

caution

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

tip

• Use the --dry-run flag to simulate a transaction without broadcasting it.
• Set --gas explicitly (400,000 is enough for a hybrid-signed transfer).
• The fee floor is 0.1 uqor per unit of gas, so a 400,000 gas limit needs at least 40,000 uqor.
