Start
Using the app
The app is one page with four tabs: Mint, Stake, AEQUA and Reserve. Every tab reads and quotes without a wallet; connecting one adds your balances, your positions and the action.
The four tabs
| Tab | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Mint | Mint USDq with USDC, SPYx or QQQx, and redeem it for any of them |
| Stake | Stake USDq for sUSDq, unstake through the cooldown, and claim |
| AEQUA | Stake AEQUA, unstake through the cooldown and window, and withdraw. It also counts every buyback |
| Reserve | Read every sleeve of the reserve, the hedge account and the distributions. It needs no wallet |
Switching tabs keeps the page where it is: the frame stays and the view recomposes inside it. Each tab remembers what it was showing, such as the direction, the asset or Stake against Unstake, for as long as the page is open. A link can open a tab directly: /app?tab=reserve opens the reserve.
Connect a wallet
- Press Connect in the top right corner.
- Pick your wallet. The list holds every wallet your browser announces, with the one you used last at the top.
- On the first connect, confirm your region (below). The app remembers it for that wallet in this browser.
- The button now shows your short address, and the account sheet behind it holds your balances.
No wallet in the list
- On a computer or an Android phone, the sheet links to Phantom, Solflare and Backpack.
- On an iPhone, Open in Phantom or Open in Solflare loads the app inside that wallet's browser.
When you come back, the app reconnects the wallet you used last if the wallet allows it.
Who can use the app
The app follows the selling restrictions of the collateral it holds. xStocks are not offered to US persons, so the app is not offered to US persons, to residents of South Korea, or to residents of the other jurisdictions the xStocks prospectus excludes.
On the first connect the wallet sheet asks you to confirm that none of these apply to you. The Reserve tab and these docs stay open to everyone.
SOL for network fees
Every transaction pays a Solana network fee in SOL, and the first deposit into a new token account pays its rent. Keep a little SOL in the wallet you use. When it runs short, the action reads Add SOL for the network fee and waits.
The frame
The app's top and bottom edges stay put while you work, and both carry live facts.
Top edge
- The mark, which leads back to the landing.
- The tabs, each with a cell. The current tab's cell is solid. A cell turns blue when its tab holds something your wallet can act on: a cooldown ready to claim on Stake, an open withdraw window on AEQUA.
- The session chip: the US equity session now, which decides whether the xStock paths are open and which band they use.
- The wallet button, with your short address and a cell for your fee tier.
Bottom edge
- The network on the left.
- The tab's own fact in the middle: SPY and QQQ on Mint, vesting on Stake, the reward stream on AEQUA, and NAV over supply with the next distribution on Reserve.
- On the right, the age of the price and of the hedge report. Each turns gray once it passes its limit: 10 s for the price and 120 s for the report.
Reading the cells
The app draws amounts and states as cells of one ramp, from a dot to a solid square. The same cell means the same thing on every tab:
| Cell | What it means |
|---|---|
| Dot | Empty: capacity used, nothing there yet |
| Plus | USDC moving between the chains, AEQUA burned, the overnight session |
| Equal box | Waiting: the amount you are typing, a cooldown day still to come, USDC in the buffer, pre- and post-market |
| Four holes | Held at work: the margin behind the shorts |
| Solid | Held or available: spot in the vaults, capacity you can use, the regular session |
| Blue | Light: refilling, staked, still vesting, or ready for you |
On the Mint tab, for example, one cell of the field is $5,000 of the hour's capacity on the USDC path. As you type an amount the cells it would take turn to equal boxes; once the mint confirms they drop to dots, and they step back up in blue as the hour refills.
The account sheet
The wallet button opens it. It slides in from the right, or fills the screen on a phone.
- Wallet: your address with copy, an explorer link and Disconnect.
- Ready now: anything you can claim or withdraw. Each item takes you to its tab with the right pane open.
- Balances: USDC, USDq, sUSDq with its worth in USDq, SPYx and QQQx, AEQUA, and SOL for fees.
- Positions: your USDq cooldown and when it unlocks, and your stAEQUA position with its state and fee tier.
Simulation
Until the program is deployed, the network slot on the bottom edge reads Simulation. The protocol runs in your browser on live prices and multipliers, and its balances and positions are test values kept there.
Press the slot to move time forward by an hour, a day or seven days, so cooldowns, windows and distributions can be seen; to add test funds to the connected wallet; or to reset. The aequa test wallet in the wallet list signs after a short pause, the way a wallet window would.
On a phone
- The tabs move to a glass bar at the bottom of the screen.
- Each tab opens on its pane, with the figures below it.
- The price and hedge report ages move into the account sheet.
