Choose an asset, a target price and an end date. See your income and both possible payouts before you commit.
↗ Sell High
Earn on an asset you hold.
Agree to a possible sale at your selected price. Your assets are locked for the term. If the option is exercised, you receive the sale proceeds; otherwise you receive your assets. Income is paid in USDC either way, subject to settlement and counterparty risk.
Option not exercisedYour assets + income
Option exercisedSale proceeds + income
Example & trade-off
Example only: commit 10 NVDA, a $220 target and $30 net income. If exercised, you receive $2,230 USDC. If not exercised, you receive 10 NVDA and $30 USDC. You do not receive gains above the sale price on sold shares; if you keep the shares, their value can fall. No automatic repurchase.
This is a covered-call structure. Touching the target during the term does not itself trigger a sale. The end date, exercise window and exact settlement asset are part of each position's terms.
↘ Buy Low
Earn on cash while choosing your buy price.
Commit USDC for a possible purchase at your selected price. If the option is exercised, you receive the asset; otherwise you receive your cash. You earn the agreed income in either outcome, subject to settlement and counterparty risk.
Option not exercisedYour USDC + income
Option exercisedPurchased assets + income
Example & trade-off
Example only: commit $2,000 USDC to buy 10 NVDA at $200, with $30 net income. If exercised, you receive 10 NVDA and $30 USDC—even if those shares trade below $200. If not exercised, you receive $2,030 USDC. This is a cash-secured put; “Buy Low” does not guarantee buying at the lowest market price.

Earn
One deposit into managed strategies. Intended withdrawals in the underlying asset, with variable income and token amounts. Strategy designs, fees and risk limits will be published before availability.
Income spreads
Sell a call and buy a higher-strike call to limit the overlay’s payout. The underlying asset can still lose value.
The initial proposal charges 10% of option premium, not 10% of your deposit. A $100 premium leaves $90 before any separately disclosed external costs. No additional AUM fee or scheduled-withdrawal platform fee. Maker pricing, network and conversion costs are separate.
Income APR annualizes the net income for one term. It is not your total investment return, a compounding APY or a promise that the same rate will be available again. Asset-price changes can outweigh income. Sponsored rewards, when available, will show their budget, duration and qualifying asset separately.
Asset versions & withdrawals
Tokens referencing the same stock can have different rights, multipliers, restrictions and redemption terms. Qualiq's operating layer is designed to coordinate eligible routes while preserving those differences. A stock ticker does not mean every version is accepted or freely interchangeable.
Each quote specifies the exact deposit and settlement token. Initial positions settle in that token or USDC plus USDC income. There is no automatic conversion or repurchase. Any later conversion requires a separately accepted quote.
How income is funded
An options counterparty pays for the right to transact at the agreed price. Qualiq takes its protocol fee from that premium; maker trading profits and losses are separate. Competitive maker quoting is the intended market design. It does not guarantee attractive returns for both sides or eliminate execution, issuer, custody or smart-contract risk.
Current availability
Qualiq is under development. The public app is an interactive product walkthrough with dated pricing examples. The separate working pilot supports NVDAc, AAPLc and USDC on an isolated Base fork, with local balances and a funded buyer exercise process.
Broader stock, ETF and gold examples describe the product direction. Cross-issuer intake, additional chains, live hedges, independent maker bidding and issuer reward campaigns are not connected. Gold ETF shares are not physical-gold tokens. Availability will depend on asset, jurisdiction and product-specific terms.
