What if trading volume drops?

Epochs get smaller. If the collected tax does not cover settlement, the epoch does not close and the fees roll into the next one. There is no fixed yield.

Can I sell the positions I receive?

Yes. pBTC3x, pHOOD3x and pBTC are ordinary ERC-20 tokens on Robinhood Chain.

Where do I see my payouts?

In your wallet as token balances and on the block explorer under your address.

Why a 100,000 $QTR minimum?

Airdropping to dust wallets would cost more gas than it pays out. 100,000 is 0.01% of supply.

Do I have to claim or stake anything?

No. Positions are pushed to your wallet by the treasury.

Back to Quarter

What it is

Quarter ($QTR) is a reward token on Robinhood Chain. It funds itself from its own trading tax and pays holders in leveraged Arcus positions every 15 minutes. It is not an index and not a vault: nothing is pooled, nothing is locked, and the rewards are sent, not claimed.

Each position (pBTC3x, pHOOD3x, pBTC) is an Arcus perpetuals account tokenized as an ERC-20. Holding one gives leveraged exposure with no account to open, no collateral to post and no margin to watch. Each is rebalanced by threshold, not on a fixed clock.

The loop

People trade $QTR on Uniswap.
Each trade pays tax, collected in WETH.
WETH accumulates for one 15-minute epoch.
At close, Arcus positions are minted at NAV and airdropped to every eligible wallet, in kind.

The same four steps run 96 times a day. The ledger on the home page lists every one that has settled.

Tax

Wedge	Rate	Goes to
Holder payout	—	Mints Arcus positions, sent to holders in kind
Protocol	—	Operations, execution gas, the crank
Launchpad	—	Platform fee
Total	—	Fixed at deploy, cannot be raised

Tax is taken in WETH on the swap, never in $QTR. Your token balance is never reduced by the protocol.

Epochs and minting

An epoch is 15 minutes. It closes only when the collected tax covers settlement and the mint has been processed; if volume was too low, the fees roll into the next epoch instead of paying dust. Snapshots of balances are taken at close. Buying after the close counts for the next epoch, not the current one.

Positions are minted at NAV, not bought on the secondary market. The mint is asynchronous: USDG is escrowed, accepted by the manager, deposited to the account, and the NAV at the moment of processing is signed by an oracle and verified on-chain before any tokens exist. Nothing is minted at a stale number.

The basket

Three positions, equal weight, one third each. More are added as Arcus ships them; weights stay equal.

Eligibility and payout

Minimum holding: 100,000 $QTR (0.01% of supply). Below that you still hold and trade; you just miss that epoch's distribution. Contracts, the liquidity pool and the treasury itself are excluded from the snapshot.

your_share = your_balance / eligible_supply

You receive your_share of each position minted that epoch. Nothing to claim; rewards are pushed on-chain. Gas for the airdrop is paid by the protocol wedge.

Questions people ask

What if trading volume drops?: Epochs get smaller. If the collected tax does not cover settlement, the epoch does not close and the fees roll into the next one. There is no fixed yield and nothing is promised.
Can I sell the positions I receive?: Yes. pBTC3x, pHOOD3x and pBTC are ordinary ERC-20 tokens on Robinhood Chain. Hold them, sell them, or redeem them through Arcus.
Where do I see my payouts?: In your wallet, as token balances, and on the explorer under your address. On this site, connect your wallet in the calculator to see your balance and eligibility.
What is NAV and why does it matter?: Net asset value is what a position is actually worth, before any market premium. The treasury mints at NAV, so every dollar of tax becomes a dollar of exposure. Buying the same tokens on the market usually costs more.
Why a 100,000 $QTR minimum?: Airdropping to thousands of dust wallets would burn more gas than it pays out. 100,000 is 0.01% of supply; below that you still hold and trade, you just miss the distribution.
Do I have to claim or stake anything?: No. Positions are pushed to your wallet by the treasury. Gas is paid by the protocol wedge of the tax.
Is my $QTR balance ever reduced?: No. Tax is taken in WETH on the swap, not from balances. The contract has no function that moves your tokens.
Can the tax be changed?: The rates are fixed at deploy and cannot be raised. The address and the verified source are in the Contract section above.

Risk

The positions are leveraged. Their value moves faster than the underlying market in both directions, carries hourly funding and the cost of rebalancing trades, and can go to zero in a sharp move. Rewards are distributed in kind; their value at receipt is not their value later.

Payouts depend on trading volume. Low volume means small epochs or epochs that roll over. Nothing here is a promise of yield.
