Chapters

01
RETF basics
One token for a basket. The assets inside keep earning in their own vaults.
An RETF (Rostr ETF) is one token for a basket you pick. Mint liquid RETF, stake it for sRETF, or buy a discounted bond that stays staked while its principal vests.
02
Pick a basket shape
Four basket shapes with the same bond, mint and burn.
Choose from four basket shapes. Each sets what the reserve holds and how the program marks it, while bond, mint and burn work the same on all four.
03
Mint or bond
Tokens you can move now, or a discount for waiting.
Mint liquid RETF if you want tokens you can move now. Bond to buy RETF at a discount: the program stakes it for you at once and your principal vests over the period you choose.
04
Keeping the price current
Mark assets with Pyth feeds or keeper rates, or leave rates off.
The program reads a mark to price one basket share: a Pyth price feed, or a keeper-pushed rate for shares no oracle prices. Turn rates on to keep first bonds, cash exits and the shown price current. Leave them off if you want DEX traders to set the price. A mark changes the price and pays no yield.
05
The market under the token
A DEX pool where people trade the token.
Traders need a market for the token. On Solana that means a DEX pool: a concentrated pool on Orca or Raydium, or a DLMM on Meteora. Arbitrage against mint and burn holds the pool price near NAV.

Smart contracts carry risk and no APY here is guaranteed. Read the disclaimers in chapter 01 before you deposit.
