Key takeaways
- QNT is a standard ERC-20 token (contract 0x4a22…4675, 18 decimals). Any wallet that supports Ethereum tokens can hold it.
- Ledger confirms QNT support on its own site; Trezor, MetaMask, Rabby and Coinbase Wallet hold it as a generic ERC-20; Trust Wallet lists it in its asset registry.
- Every QNT transfer costs gas in ETH. A wallet with QNT and no ETH cannot move the tokens.
- There is no official Quant wallet. Fake "Ledger Live" apps, "treasury rewards" sites and airdrop pages have drained real money.
Why any Ethereum wallet works for QNT
Quant's token has no chain of its own. It was issued in 2018 as a plain ERC-20 contract on Ethereum at address 0x4a220E6096B25EADb88358cb44068A3248254675, with 18 decimals and no owner functions that could freeze or mint tokens. Overledger, the product the token pays for, is an API layer that sits above blockchains rather than a blockchain itself, and even Quant's Fusion rollup, live since June 2026, does not change where the canonical QNT sits. That is why the question "which Quant wallet?" has a boring answer: whichever Ethereum wallet you already trust.
The practical consequences are threefold. First, your QNT balance is tied to an Ethereum address, and the same seed phrase that controls your ETH controls your QNT. Second, moving QNT costs gas priced in ETH, so a wallet needs a little ETH to be useful. Third, wallets that do not know about QNT by default will show it once you import the contract address, which takes a minute and is covered step by step below. If you want the background on the token's design, the tokenomics page explains the fixed supply and licence mechanism.
Hardware wallets: Ledger and Trezor
Ledger
Ledger is the one hardware vendor whose QNT support we could verify on its own pages. Its Quant wallet page describes buying, selling and swapping QNT through the Ledger Wallet app (the renamed Ledger Live), and a Ledger support article explains the mechanics: QNT is stored on the Ethereum account, with the Ethereum app open on the device, rather than through a dedicated Quant app. The App Store listing for Ledger's app names Quant (QNT) explicitly alongside "all ERC-20" tokens. In practice you install the Ethereum app on the device, add an Ethereum account in the desktop or mobile app, and QNT appears under it once you receive some.
Two cautions. Buy the device directly from the vendor, never second-hand or from a marketplace reseller, since tampered devices and pre-filled seed cards are a known attack. And install the companion app only from the link on ledger.com: in April 2026 a counterfeit "Ledger Live" app published on Apple's App Store under the developer name "Leva Heal Limited" drained roughly $9.5 million from people who typed their seed phrases into it.
Trezor
Trezor devices hold QNT as a generic ERC-20 through Trezor Suite, or through MetaMask and Rabby connected to the device. The vendor's dedicated coin page for Quant returned an error at the URLs we tried, so we mark Trezor's QNT page as unverified; support comes from the general ERC-20 capability that third-party wallet lists confirm. Functionally the experience is the same as with Ledger: the private key never leaves the device, and every QNT transfer must be approved on its screen.
Mobile wallets: Trust Wallet and Coinbase Wallet
Trust Wallet's official assets repository on GitHub contains a QNT entry with the correct contract address, type ERC20 and 18 decimals, which means the app recognises the token out of the box without manual import. It is non-custodial: the seed phrase is generated on your phone and never sent anywhere. Coinbase Wallet (distinct from the Coinbase exchange app) is a generic Ethereum wallet that shows QNT once you hold it, again without custody by Coinbase. Both are reasonable homes for modest balances and for people who want to check holdings on the go.
Phone wallets carry phone risks. A lost or compromised handset is a lost wallet unless the seed phrase is backed up offline. A phishing site that imitates the wallet's web interface can harvest that seed in seconds; one documented case saw a user lose about $3,500 of QNT to a Trust Wallet lookalike. Keep the amount on a phone to what you would carry in cash.
Browser wallets: MetaMask, Rabby and MEW
MetaMask is the default Ethereum extension and holds QNT once you import the contract (steps below). Rabby, a newer extension, does the same and adds a pre-transaction simulation that shows exactly what a contract call will do to your balances, which is useful if you ever swap QNT on Uniswap or interact with any DeFi contract. Both can be paired with a Ledger or Trezor so the browser only prepares transactions and the hardware device signs them, which is the combination most experienced holders use.
MyEtherWallet (MEW) publishes a dedicated "best wallet for QNT" page and works in a browser or as a mobile app. It is a legitimate non-custodial option, although its interface appears less often in tutorials today.
Custodial vs self-custody: the honest trade-off
Keeping QNT on an exchange means someone else holds the keys. The upside is convenience: no gas fees, no seed phrase, instant selling, password recovery if you forget your login. The downside is that you own a claim on the exchange rather than the tokens themselves. Hot-wallet hacks at LCX in January 2022 and Bitrue in April 2023 took customers' QNT; neither touched the token contract, which has never been exploited, but that was cold comfort to the people affected. Exchange "earn" products for QNT add a further layer of counterparty risk, which the staking page unpacks.
Self-custody flips the risks. Nobody can freeze or lose your tokens for you, but nobody can recover them either. Lose the seed phrase and the QNT is gone; sign a malicious transaction and it is gone just as fast. A sensible split for most people is trading size on a regulated exchange and the rest on a hardware wallet. If you have not bought yet, the buying guide covers the withdrawal step, and the exchange page notes which venues restrict QNT deposits (BISON, for instance, allows withdrawals but not deposits).
QNT wallet comparison
| Wallet | Type | QNT support | Keys | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ledger | Hardware | Verified on vendor site (Ethereum account) | On device | Long-term, larger sums |
| Trezor | Hardware | Generic ERC-20; vendor page unverified | On device | Long-term, open-source preference |
| MetaMask | Browser / mobile | Manual import by contract | In software (or hardware-paired) | Desktop users, DEX access |
| Rabby | Browser | Manual import by contract | In software (or hardware-paired) | DeFi users wanting simulation |
| Trust Wallet | Mobile | Listed in official asset registry | On phone | Phone-first, modest sums |
| Coinbase Wallet | Mobile / browser | Generic ERC-20 | On phone | Beginners already on Coinbase |
| MyEtherWallet | Web / mobile | Dedicated QNT page | In software | Long-time Ethereum users |
| Exchange account | Custodial | Where listed | Exchange holds them | Trading balances |
Exodus, Atomic Wallet, Tangem, Zengo and SafePal all support Ethereum ERC-20 tokens in general, but their vendor pages for QNT were unreachable or missing when we checked, so we list them as unverified rather than recommended.
How to add QNT to MetaMask
MetaMask shows ETH by default and only displays tokens it knows about. Adding QNT takes five steps and about a minute.
- 1
Open MetaMask on Ethereum mainnet
Check the network selector at the top shows Ethereum Mainnet. QNT does not exist on Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Chain or any other network as an official asset, so adding it anywhere else will show a zero balance or a fake token.
- 2
Choose "Import tokens"
On the Tokens tab, scroll to the bottom and select Import tokens, then the Custom token tab. MetaMask's search may already list Quant; still verify the contract address in the next step.
- 3
Paste the contract address
Enter
0x4a220E6096B25EADb88358cb44068A3248254675. The symbol should auto-fill as QNT and decimals as 18. If either differs, you have the wrong token; stop and re-check the address on Etherscan. - 4
Confirm and check the balance
Select Import. Your QNT balance appears once the wallet syncs. If you have just withdrawn from an exchange, wait for the transaction to confirm on-chain; you can follow it on our transaction tracker.
- 5
Fund the wallet with a little ETH
Sending QNT later will cost gas in ETH. Keep a small ETH balance in the same account so the tokens are never stranded.
Gas fees and seed-phrase hygiene
Every QNT transaction is an Ethereum transaction. The network charges gas in ETH, and the amount depends on congestion rather than on how much QNT you move: sending 1 QNT and 1,000 QNT costs the same. There is no way to pay gas in QNT on Ethereum mainnet. When you withdraw from an exchange, the exchange pays the gas and deducts a withdrawal fee; once the tokens are in your wallet, you pay. Keep enough ETH for a few transfers so you are never forced to buy ETH in a hurry.
The seed phrase is the wallet. Write the 12 or 24 words on paper or stamp them into metal, store them somewhere a flood or a burglar would not find them, and never type them into a website, a chat, a "support" form or a cloud note. No legitimate wallet vendor, exchange or Quant employee will ever ask for them. If a device is lost, the seed phrase restores the same addresses and the same QNT on a new device; if the seed phrase is lost, nothing restores it.
Scams targeting Quant holders
Because QNT has a loyal retail following and a credible enterprise story, it attracts a steady stream of impersonation attacks. The patterns we have documented from security researchers and press reports:
- Fake Ledger Live on the App Store (April 2026). A counterfeit app by "Leva Heal Limited" collected seed phrases and drained about $9.5 million. Install wallet software only from links on the vendor's own domain.
- claims-quant.network. A drainer site that imitates quant.network and shows a "claim treasury rewards" button. Connecting a wallet and signing authorises the theft. Quant has no treasury rewards programme for holders.
- nft-quant.com "QNT Mysterybox" airdrop. Quant has never announced an airdrop. Any airdrop claim page is a scam by definition.
- Trust Wallet lookalike sites. One victim lost about $3,500 of QNT by entering a seed phrase into a cloned interface.
- "Official Quant wallet" apps. None exist. Results for "Quant wallet" are third-party products at best. The site qntwallet.com is an unrelated, unregulated investment scheme, not a Quant product.
The defence is the same in every case: verify the domain character by character, never sign a transaction you do not understand, and treat any message promising free QNT as hostile. Ledger maintains a public phishing-status page worth bookmarking, and our is Quant legit? page keeps a running list of impersonation attempts. Terms you meet along the way, from "seed phrase" to "gas", are defined in the glossary.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best wallet for Quant (QNT)?
For a long-term holding of meaningful size, a hardware wallet such as Ledger (which verifies QNT support on its own site) or Trezor, used with its native app or a connected MetaMask. For everyday use, Trust Wallet or MetaMask. For small trading balances, a regulated exchange account is acceptable. There is no single "best": it depends on amount, device and experience, which is what the finder above sorts out.
Does Quant have an official wallet?
No. Quant Network has never published a consumer wallet, and every app or site calling itself the "official Quant wallet" is third-party at best and a scam at worst. QNT is a standard ERC-20 token, so it uses ordinary Ethereum wallets.
Can I store QNT on a Ledger?
Yes. Ledger's own Quant page and support documentation confirm QNT is held under the Ethereum account in the Ledger Wallet app (formerly Ledger Live) with the Ethereum app installed on the device. There is no separate Quant app to install.
Why does my QNT transfer fail with "insufficient funds" when I have plenty of QNT?
Because gas on Ethereum is paid in ETH, not QNT. A wallet with QNT and zero ETH cannot send anything. Top up a small amount of ETH to the same address and retry.
Is it safe to keep QNT on an exchange instead of a wallet?
For trading balances, usually yes on a regulated venue with strong 2FA. Exchange-held QNT has been lost in hot-wallet hacks before (LCX in 2022, Bitrue in 2023), and exchange earn products add counterparty risk. For holdings you cannot afford to lose, self-custody on a hardware wallet is the standard advice.
What is the QNT contract address?
0x4a220E6096B25EADb88358cb44068A3248254675 on Ethereum mainnet, 18 decimals. Verify it on Etherscan or Blockscout before adding it to any wallet, and never trust an address pasted in a chat or social media post.
