rtUSQ FAQ

1) What is rtUSQ? rtUSQ is a QuantFi yield-bearing asset issued by CICADA Finance. Returns are generated by a conservative growth quantitative strategy portfolio and yields may be supplemented by ecosystem-level incentives, where applicable.

2) What supports the value of rtUSQ? rtUSQ represents a tokenised unit of participation in the Conservative Growth Quant Strategy, with NAV targeted at US$1.00. The value support framework includes custodied principal, protocol-level risk controls, realised strategy performance reflected via rebase, and an orderly monthly redemption mechanism designed to align exits with underlying settlement.

3) How do I redeem rtUSQ, and what do I receive? Users may submit redemption requests during the designated monthly redemption window and will receive USDT or other supported assets, subject to the applicable redemption design and settlement processing. Settlement is typically completed within seven (7) days following the close of the redemption window. The underlying assets may only be claimed after the settlement period has concluded.

4) Can I trade rtUSQ on the secondary market at any time? Yes. An AMM liquidity pool may be available enabling instant buy/sell of rtUSQ on supported trading platforms without waiting for redemption windows. However, due to limited onchain depth, material-sized trades may experience slippage and prices may deviate above or below NAV depending on depth and trading volume. Secondary market exits may also result in forfeiture of future yield and ecosystem incentives associated with continued participation.

5) Is the swap pool suitable for large-size transactions? At the initial stage of CICADA Finance, the AMM pool is intended primarily for retail-sized liquidity. For block trades or institutional-sized redemptions, the official monthly redemption facility is generally recommended, as it is designed to provide more orderly execution and pricing closer to underlying value.
