The Q community is expanding its horizons by leveraging Elk Finance’s Bridge as a Service (BaaS) to bring the native QGOV token to a broader audience. This integration will eventually enable QGOV to be available on over 30 EVM-compatible chains, starting with Arbitrum and Optimism. This is an exciting development for the Q community, offering new opportunities for cross-chain interaction and accessing the liquidity of other ecosystems.

Bringing QGOV Across Chains

Thanks to Elk Finance’s BaaS, users can now send QGOV tokens across supported chains. When you transfer QGOV to another chain, you will receive Wrapped QGOV (WQ) on the destination chain. This wrapped token can be redeemed for QGOV, ensuring that your assets remain accessible and secure across different networks.

Important Note: Be vigilant of potential scam tokens. The correct contract addresses for Wrapped QGOV (WQ) on the different supported chains are

Q: 0xd07178e3eCbC78De110Df84fe1A979D5f349784a
Arbitrum: 0xAed882F117b78034829E2cfFA11206706837B1b1
Optimism: 0xAed882F117b78034829E2cfFA11206706837B1b1

Ensure you interact with the right token to avoid any loss of assets.

What’s Next?

If you’re wondering how to use your Wrapped QGOV (WQ) tokens, consider participating in liquidity farming on the new chains. Just like on the Q blockchain, you can earn rewards by providing liquidity.

Getting Started with Liquidity Farming

To get started, if you don’t have other assets on the destination chain, you can swap part of your Wrapped QGOV (WQ) for another token, such as ELK. For example, on Arbitrum:

  1. Swap WQ to ELK: Swap WQ to ELK on Arbitrum
  2. Add Liquidity: Add Liquidity to WQ/ELK Pool
  3. Stake LP Tokens: Stake in WQ/ELK Farm

This process allows you to get additional rewards and contribute to the liquidity of the QGOV token across multiple networks. For more detailed guidance, refer to our previous blog post on the topic: QGOV Available on Elk DEX.
