what's qr coin?
QR Coin is a cryptocurrency project built on the Base network, functioning as an "onchain attention machine." It operates through a daily auction system where participants bid in USDC to win visibility for their links, projects, or ideas. The auction winner's content is promoted across the project's channels, driving attention and engagement within the crypto community. Revenues from these auctions are partially allocated to buybacks of the $QR token, creating a mechanism to support token value through deflationary pressure and community incentives. The project emphasizes community participation, with frequent giveaways, airdrops, and interactions via X (Twitter) to build engagement. Users can claim daily rewards by visiting the project website and participating in simple tasks, fostering ongoing involvement. The token $QR serves as the native asset, used for rewards and tied directly to the auction ecosystem. Technically, QR Coin leverages smart contracts for transparent auctions and automated buybacks, executed via tools like @bankrbot. This setup ensures on-chain verifiability, with all transactions visible on the blockchain, promoting trust and decentralization in attention allocation.
