$QTR

The protocol asset behind every quarter.

QUARTER earns from the mechanical work of separating, rolling and settling corporate cash flows. $QTR captures that work through fee routing, permanent burns and the collateral that secures corporate-action normalization.

Current epoch
Epoch 11
  1. More Stock Tokens

    Each newly supported token lists a full forward strip of maturities.

  2. More COUPON markets

    Every maturity creates an independent cash-flow market with its own curve.

  3. More rolls and settlements

    Positions roll forward each quarter, and matured claims settle against verified amounts.

  4. More protocol fees

    Creation, trading, rolling and settlement each contribute to the fee pool.

  5. More $QTR burned

    55% of the pool is market-bought and permanently retired at the close of each epoch.

$QTR is a protocol asset used for fee routing, market bonding and operator collateral. It is not a claim on the cash flows of any company, it does not represent a share of protocol revenue, and holding it confers no shareholder rights in any issuer. Supply, burn and reserve figures on this page are illustrative preview values.
