SQD Introduces Revenue Pools Supported by Enterprise Payments

On December 31, 2025, in Zug, Switzerland, SQD Network unveiled a new initiative called SQD Revenue Pools. This model is designed to cater to growing enterprise demands by utilizing actual customer payments. SQD Network is a decentralized data infrastructure that supports massive blockchain applications, trusted by major clients such as Deutsche Telekom and leading DeFi protocols, including Morpho and PancakeSwap. These collaborations secure over $8 billion in Total Value Locked, providing reliable, real-time, and historical blockchain data.

Revenue Pools function by ensuring that as customer usage increases, the necessary infrastructure capacity is funded directly by customer payments rather than through the issuance of new tokens. This approach allows SQD token holders to lock their tokens temporarily, helping to support the network’s capacity. While locked, tokens are not transferable, but they remain owned by the holders. A portion of customer payments is shared with participants who lock their SQD tokens, paid in stablecoins.

This development is significant for SQD holders and participants, as blockchain data becomes increasingly crucial in various domains such as trading, payments, analytics, AI, and enterprise systems. The Revenue Pools introduce mechanisms like demand-driven token usage, reduced circulating supply through temporary locking, and customer-funded operations, enhancing the link between actual usage and network economics.

The rollout of Revenue Pools will begin with limited capacity and expand as enterprise demand grows. This phased introduction aims to avoid disruption to current participants and ensure the network’s long-term sustainability.

Dmitry Zhelezov, CTO of SQD Network, emphasized the importance of linking network capacity with real usage and payments. Dan Quirk, Chief Product Officer at SQD, noted that this step allows the token to play a more defined role in supporting real services that customers actively pay for.

The SQD token is available for trading on major digital asset exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, providing liquidity and price discovery opportunities for market participants.

SQD Network offers decentralized data infrastructure across more than 200 blockchains, supporting trading, analytics, AI, payments, and enterprise systems with real-time and historical data access.
