Effective Date: September 25, 2026
This Treasury & Payout Policy explains how The QB Club manages designated $QBC reserves, Prize Vaults, Marketplace-related prize contributions, competition payouts, liquidity resources, and other ecosystem funds.
This Policy supplements The QB Club Terms of Service, Token Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure, Contest Rules & Eligibility Policy, Marketplace Policy, and Tokenomics & Transparency materials.
The QB Club maintains different wallets and reserves for different purposes. A wallet containing $QBC does not necessarily have the same purpose, restrictions, or status as another QB Club-controlled wallet.
1. $QBC Supply and Tokenomics
$QBC has a defined token supply established on the Solana blockchain.
Information regarding matters such as:
- Total token supply;
- Token mint address;
- Allocation categories;
- Token locks;
- Vesting schedules;
- Prize Vault balances;
- Liquidity;
- Treasury wallets; and
- Other on-chain information
may be published through The QB Club’s Tokenomics & Transparency materials.
Where specific allocation percentages, lock periods, wallet addresses, or vesting schedules are published there, those disclosures should be used as the current reference for the applicable tokenomic structure.
This Treasury & Payout Policy is intended primarily to explain how designated funds are used and administered, rather than duplicate every token-allocation figure.
2. Types of QB Club-Controlled Funds
The QB Club may maintain separate wallets or reserves for purposes including:
Prize Vaults
$QBC designated primarily to support competitions, rewards, and related Player Club activities.
Operating Reserves
Assets available to support the ordinary operation and development of The QB Club.
Ecosystem Reserves
$QBC or other assets reserved for future platform development, promotions, partnerships, incentives, or other ecosystem purposes.
Liquidity Resources
$QBC, SOL, USDC, or other assets designated for decentralized-exchange liquidity or related market infrastructure.
Other Designated Wallets
The QB Club may create additional wallets for Marketplace settlement, NFT fulfillment, promotions, security, technical operations, or other defined purposes.
The existence of a wallet does not create ownership rights in that wallet for $QBC holders, NFT holders, or Contest participants.
3. Prize Vaults
The QB Club may maintain separate Prize Vaults associated with different Player Clubs, competitions, or programs.
Prize Vaults are intended to provide a visible pool of $QBC that can support future competition rewards.
Prize Vaults are controlled by The QB Club.
They are not individual participant accounts, escrow accounts, bank accounts, trusts, or guarantees of future payment.
The existence of a Prize Vault does not mean that the entire balance is owed to current participants.
Individual Contest obligations arise only under the published rules applicable to that Contest.
4. Funding Prize Vaults
Prize Vaults may be funded from sources including:
- Initial QB Club token allocations;
- Marketplace-related contributions;
- $QBC returned through ecosystem programs;
- Promotional allocations;
- Treasury allocations;
- Unclaimed or reverted rewards where permitted;
- Future $QBC Rewards programs; or
- Other amounts designated by The QB Club.
The QB Club may periodically add $QBC to Prize Vaults as the ecosystem develops.
5. Marketplace Contributions to Prize Vaults
The QB Club’s current operating model is designed so that qualifying first-party Player NFT sales can help replenish Prize Vaults.
Under the current program, The QB Club generally intends to designate 50% of net proceeds from qualifying new Player NFT sales toward Prize Vault funding.
Depending on the payment method, this may occur by:
- Allocating $QBC received through a $QBC purchase directly to the appropriate Prize Vault;
- Using a portion of SOL, USDC, or other sale proceeds to acquire $QBC for the Prize Vault; or
- Using another reasonable method that achieves the applicable Prize Vault contribution.
The remaining proceeds may be retained by The QB Club for operating, inventory, development, administrative, or other business purposes.
“Net proceeds” may reflect transaction fees, network costs, payment-processing charges, refunds, reversals, or other transaction-specific costs where applicable.
Prize Vault contributions may be processed periodically or in aggregated amounts rather than immediately following every individual transaction.
The QB Club may modify this contribution program prospectively and will update applicable disclosures if the formula materially changes.
6. Prize Vaults Are Not Operating Funds
The QB Club intends to treat designated Prize Vault balances separately from ordinary operating funds.
Prize Vault assets are not intended to be withdrawn merely to pay ordinary operating expenses.
However, $QBC may be transferred from one designated wallet to another where reasonably necessary for:
- Prize distributions;
- Wallet migration;
- Security;
- Technical maintenance;
- Correction of an operational error;
- Consolidation or restructuring of a Prize Vault;
- Legal or regulatory requirements;
- Program discontinuation; or
- Another legitimate administrative purpose.
A transfer between QB Club-controlled wallets does not necessarily represent removal of assets from the Prize Vault program if the assets remain earmarked for substantially the same purpose.
7. Competition Prize Commitments
The prize structure for each Contest will be announced in the rules applicable to that Contest.
Once a Contest begins, The QB Club intends to maintain sufficient resources to satisfy the prizes specifically committed under those rules.
Prize amounts may vary significantly from one Contest to another.
The existence or size of a Prize Vault does not require The QB Club to distribute a fixed percentage of that vault during any particular season or Contest.
The QB Club is not required to maintain the historical 20x prize-liability funding formula unless a particular Contest or future program expressly adopts that requirement.
8. Prize Payouts
Once Contest results become final, eligible rewards will be distributed in accordance with the applicable Contest rules.
For $QBC rewards, payouts will generally be sent to the eligible participant’s verified Solana wallet.
The QB Club may verify:
- Contest eligibility;
- Ownership snapshot information;
- Wallet information;
- Scoring;
- Tie-breaking results;
- Participant eligibility; and
- Other information reasonably necessary before completing a payout.
Payout timing is subject to the applicable Contest rules and reasonable administrative or technical processing.
9. Failed, Unclaimed, or Reverted Prize Payments
A prize may remain unpaid or be returned to a Prize Vault when:
- A participant is determined to be ineligible;
- A wallet address is invalid;
- The participant cannot reasonably be contacted;
- The applicable Player NFT did not satisfy Contest eligibility requirements;
- A blockchain transaction fails;
- A prize is forfeited under the Contest rules; or
- Another issue prevents valid distribution.
Unless the applicable Contest rules state otherwise, undistributed or reverted $QBC rewards may remain in or return to the applicable Prize Vault for future use.
This does not create a right for any particular participant to receive those tokens in a future Contest.
10. Treasury and Ecosystem Reserves
The QB Club may maintain treasury or ecosystem reserves separate from Prize Vaults.
These reserves may be used for legitimate QB Club purposes including:
- Product and software development;
- Website and Marketplace infrastructure;
- Blockchain infrastructure;
- Wallet services;
- Security and audits;
- Physical-card custody and storage;
- Shipping and logistics;
- Compliance and professional services;
- Business administration;
- Marketing and community development;
- Promotions;
- Partnerships;
- New Player Clubs or programs;
- Marketplace incentives;
- $QBC Rewards;
- Emergency or contingency expenses; and
- Other activities supporting operation of The QB Club.
Treasury resources may include $QBC, SOL, USDC, U.S. dollars, or other assets received or acquired by The QB Club.
11. Liquidity Operations
The QB Club may provide assets to decentralized-exchange liquidity pools involving $QBC.
Liquidity activity may include:
- Creating liquidity pools;
- Adding liquidity;
- Removing liquidity;
- Migrating liquidity;
- Rebalancing assets;
- Supporting additional trading pairs; or
- Discontinuing a liquidity position.
Liquidity activity does not constitute a promise that The QB Club will maintain a particular $QBC price, trading range, market capitalization, spread, or amount of liquidity.
The QB Club does not guarantee that any liquidity pool or third-party trading market will remain available.
12. Token Purchases and Treasury Transactions
The QB Club may buy, sell, swap, transfer, or otherwise use $QBC, SOL, USDC, or other supported assets for legitimate operational or ecosystem purposes.
For example, The QB Club may acquire $QBC using a portion of Marketplace proceeds for Prize Vault funding.
Such transactions should not be interpreted as a guarantee of:
- Price support;
- Market intervention;
- Future purchases;
- Future token appreciation; or
- A particular trading strategy.
The QB Club may change or discontinue treasury activities as circumstances evolve.
13. Developer, Team, and Contributor Allocations
Certain $QBC allocations may historically or currently be designated for developers, founders, contributors, or other ecosystem participants.
Where such allocations are subject to:
- Vesting;
- Lockups;
- Release schedules;
- Milestones; or
- Other restrictions,
the applicable current structure should be described in The QB Club’s Tokenomics & Transparency materials and, where applicable, reflected through blockchain or third-party locking records.
This Policy does not create a separate entitlement to any particular developer or contributor allocation.
The QB Club may revise future contributor-compensation structures as the project evolves, subject to applicable commitments and law.
14. Promotions, Airdrops, and Rewards Programs
The QB Club may use designated ecosystem reserves for:
- Promotional rewards;
- Giveaways;
- Airdrops;
- Beta-testing incentives;
- Coupon programs;
- Marketplace benefits;
- Merchandise promotions;
- Physical-card promotions;
- Competition incentives; or
- Other community programs.
Each promotion may have its own eligibility requirements and terms.
Future $QBC Rewards programs may allow members to spend $QBC to obtain benefits such as discounts or coupons.
Tokens received through such programs may be:
- Returned to Prize Vaults;
- Retained in an ecosystem reserve;
- Used for another disclosed program purpose; or
- Handled under rules announced for the applicable rewards program.
The exact treatment will be established when such a program is introduced.
15. No Guarantee of Future Funding
The QB Club does not guarantee that:
- Prize Vault balances will always increase;
- A particular Prize Vault will always contain a stated number of tokens;
- A particular number of future Contests will be held;
- Future prizes will equal prior prizes;
- Treasury assets will maintain their current value;
- $QBC will maintain liquidity; or
- Treasury assets will be sufficient to support every future feature that may be proposed.
Each Contest or promotion is governed by the commitments actually published for that particular program.
16. No Individual Ownership of Treasury or Prize Vault Assets
Holding:
- $QBC;
- A Player NFT;
- A QB Club account; or
- Eligibility in a Contest
does not provide ownership of a proportional share of The QB Club’s treasury, Prize Vaults, operating reserves, liquidity positions, or other wallets.
Prize Vault balances are designated ecosystem resources administered by The QB Club.
A participant acquires a right to a particular prize only when that prize has been earned under the applicable Contest rules and all applicable eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
17. No Investment Management or Yield Program
The QB Club Treasury is operated for The QB Club’s own business and ecosystem purposes.
The QB Club does not manage treasury assets on behalf of $QBC holders or NFT holders.
Treasury activity does not create:
- An investment account for token holders;
- A managed portfolio;
- A promised yield;
- Interest;
- Dividends;
- Profit-sharing rights; or
- A guaranteed return.
Additional digital-asset risks are described in the Token Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure.
18. Wallet Security and Administration
QB Club-controlled wallets may be changed, migrated, consolidated, or replaced for security or operational reasons.
The QB Club may use security procedures including:
- Hardware wallets;
- Institutional wallet services;
- Access controls;
- Transaction verification;
- Multi-party authorization;
- Third-party custody or wallet technology; or
- Other safeguards.
No security system eliminates all risk.
Blockchain transactions may be irreversible, and assets may be exposed to technology, wallet, protocol, or operational risks.
19. Transparency
The QB Club intends to provide reasonable transparency regarding important $QBC ecosystem wallets and token activity.
Transparency measures may include:
- Publishing wallet addresses;
- Publishing Prize Vault balances;
- Providing links to blockchain explorers;
- Publishing token-supply information;
- Publishing lock or vesting information;
- Reporting competition distributions;
- Providing periodic ecosystem updates; or
- Maintaining Tokenomics & Transparency pages.
Because blockchain balances change over time, published summaries may not always reflect transactions that have occurred since the most recent update.
On-chain records may provide additional current information.
20. Corrections and Administrative Transfers
Blockchain or operational errors may occasionally occur.
The QB Club may make reasonable corrective transactions where necessary to address:
- Incorrect wallet transfers;
- Incorrect prize allocations;
- Duplicate transactions;
- Accounting errors;
- Security events;
- Wallet migrations; or
- Other administrative issues.
Where practical, material corrections involving public Prize Vaults may be documented through the applicable transparency materials.
21. Taxes and Accounting
The QB Club may maintain transaction records for treasury, Marketplace, prize, and ecosystem activities.
Prize recipients are responsible for their own tax obligations associated with rewards.
The QB Club may collect information or issue tax reporting where required by applicable law.
Treasury transactions may also have accounting and tax consequences for The QB Club.
22. Program Wind-Down
If The QB Club permanently discontinues:
- A Player Club;
- A Contest program;
- $QBC-related features; or
- The overall project,
The QB Club may establish a reasonable wind-down process for affected Prize Vaults and ecosystem reserves.
The process may consider:
- Outstanding Contest obligations;
- Previously announced commitments;
- Security;
- Technical feasibility;
- Applicable law;
- Remaining ecosystem programs; and
- Other relevant circumstances.
The existence of a Prize Vault does not guarantee that remaining assets will be distributed pro rata to NFT holders or $QBC holders upon program termination unless The QB Club expressly establishes such a right.
23. Changes to This Policy
The QB Club may update this Policy as Treasury practices, Marketplace activity, Prize Vaults, token utility, or legal and operational requirements evolve.
The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current published version.
Material changes will not ordinarily alter prizes already earned under completed Contest rules.
Where appropriate, significant changes will be reflected through The QB Club’s website or other official communications.
24. Relationship to Other Policies
This Policy should be read together with:
- Terms of Service
- Token Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure
- Contest Rules & Eligibility Policy
- Marketplace Policy
- Marketplace Refund & Payment Dispute Policy
- Tokenomics & Transparency
The rules for a particular Contest, promotion, Marketplace program, or rewards program may supplement this Policy.
