Question 1

What are tokenized index funds?

Accepted Answer

Tokenized index funds are blockchain-based investment products that represent a diversified portfolio of assets. Each token you hold represents ownership in a basket of cryptocurrencies managed by smart contracts, similar to traditional index funds but fully on-chain and transparent.

Question 2

What's the minimum investment amount?

Accepted Answer

You can start investing with as little as $1 USD worth of USDC. There are no minimum investment requirements, making QINV accessible to everyone regardless of portfolio size.

Question 3

How do I get portfolio tokens?

Accepted Answer

Simply connect your Web3 wallet, deposit USDC into the vault, and mint QIndex tokens at the current NAV (Net Asset Value). You'll receive tokens representing proportional ownership of the underlying basket. You'll need a small amount of ETH for gas fees. The entire process is seamless and takes just a few clicks.

Question 4

What wallets are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support popular wallets including Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, and Phantom.

Question 5

Are there any fees?

Accepted Answer

QINV charges a 5% annual management fee that is accrued daily and incorporated into the token's value—your token balance remains unchanged. Additionally, standard blockchain gas fees apply when minting and burning tokens, which are paid to the BASE network. Our smart contracts are optimized to keep these network costs low.

Question 6

How is security ensured?

Accepted Answer

Security is our top priority. Our smart contracts follow industry best practices and are open-source, deployed on BASE, Coinbase's secure Layer 2 network. QINV is 100% non-custodial - your assets are always in your control through your wallet's private keys. We never have custody of your funds.

Question 7

How can I track my portfolio performance?

Accepted Answer

QINV provides a comprehensive real-time dashboard where you can monitor your total portfolio value across all tokens or track individual token performance. The dashboard displays live price updates, earnings history, and detailed analytics to help you make informed investment decisions.

Question 8

How often are portfolios rebalanced?

Accepted Answer

QINV follows a low-frequency trading strategy focused on swing trading rather than day trading. Portfolios are rebalanced as needed based on market conditions, risk factors, and algorithmic signals - not on a fixed schedule. This approach minimizes trading costs while maintaining optimal diversification.

Question 9

Can I withdraw my investment anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can burn your QIndex tokens anytime to redeem the underlying assets proportionally from the vault at the current NAV. There are no lock-up periods or withdrawal restrictions.

Question 10

Can I use other stablecoins besides USDC?

Accepted Answer

Currently, QINV only supports USDC for purchasing portfolio tokens on the BASE network. We're actively working on adding support for additional stablecoins in the future to provide more flexibility for our users.

Question 11

What blockchain network is supported?

Accepted Answer

QINV operates exclusively on BASE, Coinbase's Layer 2 network built on Ethereum. BASE offers fast, secure, and low-cost transactions, providing the best experience for our users with institutional-grade reliability.

Question 12

How are portfolio compositions determined?

Accepted Answer

Portfolio compositions are algorithmically balanced based on market capitalization, liquidity, and risk factors. The smart contracts automatically rebalance to maintain optimal diversification.

Question 13

What should I know about risks?

Accepted Answer

Cryptocurrency markets are inherently volatile, and asset prices can fluctuate. QINV mitigates technical risks through audited smart contracts and deployment on BASE's secure Layer 2 network. Since you maintain full custody of your assets through your wallet, you're responsible for securing your private keys. As with any investment, past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

Question 14

What is NAV and how does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

NAV (Net Asset Value) is calculated by dividing the total value of all assets in the vault by the token supply. When you mint or redeem tokens, the price is always based on the current NAV, ensuring your token price directly reflects the real-time value and composition of the underlying portfolio. This eliminates pricing inefficiencies common in secondary markets.

Question 15

How does the AI management work?

Accepted Answer

QINV uses proprietary quantitative models built on mathematical and statistical algorithms proven in traditional hedge funds. Our system analyzes market data, volatility, correlations, and risk factors to systematically determine optimal portfolio allocations. The models have been refined over 8 years of research and backtesting, combining institutional-grade quantitative methods with on-chain execution transparency.

Question 16

What happens to my tokens if I lose access to my wallet?

Accepted Answer

QINV tokens are self-custodial, meaning only you control them through your wallet's private keys. If you lose access to your wallet, the tokens will remain locked in that wallet permanently with no way to recover them. We strongly recommend backing up your seed phrase securely and considering using a hardware wallet for larger holdings.
