The component making it possible to create governance-controlled target of 33% annually.
The Quintes Index is the core benchmark of the protocol, a smart tracker that automatically increases every 3 days by 0.235%, producing a governance-controlled annualized yield of ~33%.
This steady growth defines the reference price that QNT follows.
Governance Control
The target yield of 33% is not fixed by code, it is set and adjustable through governance voting by QTS holders. This ensures that the index growth rate remains responsive to evolving market conditions and community consensus.
Growth Calculation
The Quintes Index compounds predictably based on the 3-day incremental growth rate:
Formula Component
Calculation
Result
Growth per period
1 + 0.00235
1.00235
Annual growth factor
(1.00235) ^ 121.6667
≈ 1.330535
Annual return
(1.330535 − 1)
≈ 33.05%
So, over the course of a year, an Index value of 1.00 will grow to approximately 1.33.
