Why we built qntprice.com — a clean, ad-free Quant price tracker

Most cryptocurrency price sites are built to maximize one thing: time on page. They show you a price, then surround it with affiliate widgets, sticky banners, sponsored token lists, cookie consent walls, push-notification prompts, and three different “Top Movers” carousels. The price you came for is buried.

qntprice.com is built around the opposite principle. Open the site, see the QNT price in four currencies, see how much of the 14.6 million max supply is in circulation, do a conversion if you need to — and leave. We expect most visits to last under thirty seconds, and we treat that as a feature.

Who this is for

This site is built for three groups:

• QNT holders who want a price check that loads in under a second on mobile.
• Enterprise teams evaluating Quant Network’s Overledger product who need a quick view of token economics without wading through ICO-era marketing copy.
• Developers who want a simple JSON endpoint they can hit programmatically. The same data the homepage shows is available at /api/price and /api/market.

If you want news, social sentiment, sponsored Top 10 lists, or a portfolio tracker — those exist elsewhere, and they do a fine job. We don’t want to be those sites.

What “ad-free” actually means here

A lot of sites claim to be ad-free until you look at the source. Our commitment is concrete:

• No display ads. No Google AdSense, no Ezoic, no Coinzilla, no Mediavine.
• No affiliate links. You will not see a “Buy QNT on Exchange X” button that pays us a referral commission. Every link on the site goes where it appears to go, with no tracking parameter rewriting in the middle.
• No sponsored content. This blog post you are reading was not paid for. Future posts will not be either.
• No analytics that identify visitors. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless, IP-anonymized, and GDPR-compliant by design. We have no account system, no newsletter, no way of building a profile of you.

If we ever change any of this, it will be disclosed on the About this site page first, before any code change.

Where the data comes from

The live price, market capitalization, 24-hour volume, all-time high, all-time low, and circulating supply numbers are sourced from the CoinGecko public API, which aggregates volume-weighted data across major centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Your browser polls our edge-cached endpoint every 30 seconds, and the edge cache refreshes against CoinGecko every 60 seconds. So the number you see is at most about 30 seconds behind the wider market. The price chart is rendered by an embedded TradingView widget using the BINANCE:QNTUSDT pair.

How the site is built

qntprice.com is a static site generated with Astro, styled with Tailwind CSS, and deployed to Cloudflare Pages on the free tier. Two small Cloudflare Pages Functions proxy the CoinGecko API with edge caching, so a single upstream call serves thousands of visitors per minute.

The pages you load are pre-rendered HTML — there is no React, no Next.js, and almost no client-side JavaScript beyond what is needed to refresh the live ticker, the supply card, and the converter. That is why every page typically renders in under 200 milliseconds on a cold connection, and why the site scores ≥95 on Lighthouse Performance and 100 on SEO.

What’s next

We will publish short news updates as the Quant ecosystem moves — Overledger releases, exchange listings, governance updates — and longer blog posts like this one on tokenomics, licence-lockup mechanics, and how QNT compares to other interoperability tokens.
