QRT yield explained

While the yield for QRT is set at 17.5%, the actual value of that yield can fluctuate due to its unique price and distribution mechanism.
At launch, 10 million QRT tokens are minted at a price of $10 USD per token. With an APY of 17.5% across ETH, USDC, and AQTIS, this translates to $15 million USD in ETH and USDC allocated as rewards to QRT holders each year.
If 90% of these tokens (or 9 million QRT) are minted by users but then swapped back into the liquidity pool, the remaining 10% of token holders would be eligible to claim a larger share of the $15 million in rewards. This is due to the reduced number of participants.
QRT is engineered to consistently deliver rewards, regardless of fluctuations in user participation. As users exit the token, the yield is distributed among a smaller pool of remaining holders. This means that even if the QRT token price decreases, the remaining holders can benefit from a higher effective yield due to the concentrated distribution of rewards.
In other words, the rewards persist—no matter the market conditions or user base size.
