Quicksilver & Quasar Partner to Launch the Quasar Index Token
& other updates from Quicksilver liquid staking.
Quicksilver & Quasar Partner to Launch QIT
This month, strategic partnership between Quicksilver and Quasar.Fi to launch the Quasar Index Token (QIT). This collaboration brings together Quicksilver’s cutting-edge usage of ICA and ICQ with Quasar’s innovative vault technology to bring the liquid-staking index token QIT to Cosmos.
Quicksilver governance has approved Quasar to use Quicksilver as the bedrock for building its index token due to the flexibility of our composable architecture. Quasar’s index will consist of a market basket of IBC assets that will be liquid staked through the Quicksilver platform; the Quicksilver architecture enables the Quasar host account to select its preferred set of validators for liquid staking across all of the supported chains, and adjust the validator staking weights on an as-needed basis through the upcoming signaling intent functionality.
The two teams are collaborating closely to make the QIT into reality. Stay tuned for more updates.

Understanding Quicksilver: A Unique IBC-go Implementation
Quicksilver offers a unique experience for liquid stakers, as a user of Quicksilver never leaves their preferred chain in order to make a staking transaction on Quicksilver. This architecture is unique among IBC liquid staking protocols; it’s enabled by our implementation of two key pieces of technology, Interchain Accounts (ICA) and Interchain Queries (ICQ).
