What is QuantFi?
QuantFi brings managed quantitative strategies onchain through tokenized, yield-bearing assets. Cicada Finance uses the term for strategy participation represented by assets such as rtUSQ, with realised returns distributed through onchain mechanisms.
How it differs from other yield sources
QuantFi depends on trading strategy performance and execution. Treasury-oriented assets rely on securities income, while emission-based farming distributes token rewards. Ecosystem incentives may supplement strategy returns, so distinguish incentives from underlying performance.
rtUSQ as an example
rtUSQ represents participation in a conservative-growth quantitative strategy with a US$1.00 NAV reference. It uses rebase distributions, scheduled redemption, and the optional wrtUSQ wrapper for DeFi integrations.
Risks of QuantFi
Participation carries strategy, market, smart contract, custody, liquidity, redemption, and operational risks. Principal, yield, reference value, and continuous liquidity are not guaranteed.
