QTO Debt Payment Policy Update

At Quanto.trade, all trades are denominated in QTO—the core token powering all Quanto Perpetuals. As outlined in our documentation, this also applies to debt.

When a trader opens a position using non-QTO collateral and their portfolio value drops, they may incur QTO-denominated debt. This debt must be repaid to restore their account health.

What’s Changing

Effective immediately, any outstanding QTO debt will now accrue interest after 24 hours.

This change ensures a more balanced and sustainable trading environment by encouraging prompt repayment of debt and improving the overall health of the QTO liquidity ecosystem.

Debt can be paid back by earning back the QTO on trades, purchasing QTO on the exchange, or purchasing on-chain and deposing the QTO into the account with debt.

What This Means for Traders

• If you accrue any QTO debt, you should aim to repay / reearn it within 24 hours to avoid interest charges.
• Interest will accrue happen even if your positions have not closed yet but are down.
• Debt interest is applied daily after the initial 24-hour grace period.
• Managing your account health actively can help you avoid unnecessary costs and maintain maximum trading flexibility.
• The interest rate is 12% per year, paid hourly.

By making this change, we’re strengthening the long-term sustainability of Quanto Perpetuals while keeping the system fair for all participants.
