Live quote from the vault on Arc
…per ACRED unit today

Get paid today. Not when the fund's window opens.

Earlyout buys your pending redemption in a tokenized fund for USDC, now, at the fund's real net asset value (NAV) minus a spread that explains itself.

Arc testnet. Quotes are read live from the Vault contract; fund tokens and the issuer are stand-ins.

The problem

The fund is liquid on paper. The investor is not.

Private credit funds limit how much can leave each quarter. When requests exceed the gate, investors wait. Tokenizing the fund did not change the schedule.

Quarterly windows

ACRED repurchases at least 5% of the fund each quarter and pays once the underlying fund pays.

No secondary market

The tokens only move between issuer-approved wallets, so a holder cannot sell them on an exchange.

Gates in 2026

Large private credit funds have gated redemptions this year. Holders who need cash have had nowhere to go.
Days until you get your cash

Tokenized money-market funds already pay within a day. Funds that redeem on a schedule do not, and that is the gap Earlyout fills.

How a sale works

You sign once. USDC arrives in the same transaction.

  1. You send fund tokensYour pending redemption, in one transaction.
  2. Earlyout makes a claimThe redemption is filed with the issuer and becomes a claim.
  3. The vault buys itUSDC reaches you in the same transaction.
  4. The issuer pays the vaultOn the payout date, at the fund's NAV.
Funds

One Chainlink pipeline, ten NAV feeds.

Every fund below publishes its net asset value (NAV) through a Chainlink feed on Ethereum mainnet, and our Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) workflow carries each price to Arc. Earlyout buys from funds with a wait before payout: ACRED, JAAA and USCC. The money-market funds pay within a day, so they are priced for comparison, not bought.

The tenth listing, ACREDd, is ACRED with a 15-minute payout so a sale can be tried end to end today. Payout times for the daily-liquidity funds are illustrative. On Arc the fund tokens are stand-ins, because the real ones only move between issuer-approved wallets. The prices are real.

Pricing

A disclosed spread, not a negotiated discount.

Spread = base + vault usage + volatility × √(time to payout) + issuer credit. A 90-day ACRED claim with an empty vault:

Where the 5.97% goes
  • Base
  • Vault usage
  • Time to payout
  • Issuer credit
Base0.50%cost of running the vault
Vault usage0.00%rises as USDC is deployed
Time to payout3.97%8% vol × √(90 / 365)
Issuer credit1.50%late or short payout
Spread5.97%you keep 94.03% of NAV
Waiting is the main cost

It grows with the square root of time, so a short wait costs very little.

  2. HALTIf the issuer has failed or the price is stale, nobody can trade the fund.
  3. REFUSEIf the sale would pass the fund's cap, the vault lacks USDC, or the claim is already due.
  4. BUYOtherwise the vault buys, at the price on screen.
