Quod in Altum (QIA) is a “buyback and burn” memecoin designed specifically for Berachain’s proof of liquidity. It was created as a fun experiment and proof of concept of an alternative way to leverage PoL’s rewarding mechanism. Quod in Altum is latin and translates roughly to “That which is high” or “What is above”, and for a token it implies “Something that’s meant to rise” or “Up Only”.
