QI is the token of the Benqi project.

BENQI is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity market as well as a liquid staking protocol built on the high-speed Avalanche smart contract network. The lending protocol allows users to lend, borrow, or earn interest using their digital assets. The Liquid Staking protocol provides a solution for capital efficiency, offering users the opportunity to unlock their “staked” AVAX to be used on Decentralized Financial protocols

QI is token native to Avalanche which has a lot of holders since it is given as rewards for lending on BENQI’s lending protocol and it has decent volume (around 500k USD / week).

Current liquidity on Pangolin is $2.4M

Currently the biggest pool for QI is the QI-AVAX on Pangolin, with BENQI having Protocol Owned Liquidity there. It is my belief that having a LB market for QI would incentivize QI holders, and why not BENQI’s POL, to migrate to LB for it’s better efficiency and the fees it generates.

Summary

QI is an Avalanche native token which has a lot of holders and good volume with most of its liquidity on Pangolin DEX. It uses a less efficient pool which could be an argument to make LP migrate to a LB market.
