$qONE’s First Week: Price Up 114%, ApeBond Partnership Live, and the CTO Says This Is “Just the Starting Point”

It’s been one week since the $qONE Token Generation Event. Most new tokens are dead by now. The typical pattern is familiar: launch spike, profit-taking, slow bleed, forgotten. $qONE has done the opposite. The price has stair-stepped from the post-TGE low of $0.00189 to $0.021 today – a rally of more than 1,000% from the low and 114% from the $0.01 public sale price. And the team hasn’t slowed down for a single day.

Week One Scorecard

“The TGE Is Not the End State”

Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum and CTO of qLABS, said it directly in this week’s press release: “The $qONE TGE is not the end state, it is the starting point.” The phased roadmap makes that clear. Phase 1 – the token launch and protocol foundation – is complete. Phase 2 – integrating IronCAP™ into the Quantum Crypto Wrapper and Quantum DeFi Wrapper to create a quantum circuit breaker – is next. The L1 Migration Toolkit ships end of March. Additional exchange listings are in the pipeline.

The team’s X feed tells the same story. They’re posting multiple times daily. They’re engaging directly with the community. They’re framing the token’s utility in clear, non-speculative terms: “Web3 runs on gas. Quantum-safe Web3 needs quantum gas. That’s $qONE.” The utility framing – QFA enablement fees, per-transaction verification fees, B2B bulk verification – is specific, concrete, and designed to scale with adoption.

What Comes Next

  • Today: Community AMA on X at 1:30 PM UTC. Direct access to Ada Jonuse and Andrew Cheung for unfiltered questions about the roadmap.

  • This month: Continued trading on Hyperliquid and Based app. ApeBond bonds driving protocol-owned liquidity. Community growth through CoinMarketCap visibility and press coverage.

  • End of March: L1 Migration Toolkit release. This is the catalyst that transforms $qONE from a single-chain token into multi-chain quantum security infrastructure.

  • Pipeline: Additional exchange listings. Multi-Sig Quantum-Sig wallet. Institutional custody integrations. Protocol expansion.

  • Week one is done. The price is up 114%. The partnerships are live. The press coverage is stacking. The community AMA is happening today. The CTO says this is just the starting point. For investors evaluating where to allocate, the question isn’t whether $qONE delivered in its first week – it’s whether you’ll be positioned for what comes in week two, month two, and beyond.
