1. Can user delist from Queue or Rollover?

Users can delist from the Rollover before their position is minted. Rollover queue is executed/minted after the existing epoch ends & before the next epoch starts.

Queue deposits are early deposits to Earthquake Vaults. They cannot be delisted nor cancelled.

1. What is the "information tax" aka "deposit fee"?

The "information tax" is a deposit fee that increases as an epoch approaches, leveling the playing field and benefiting $vlY2K holders by compensating for information asymmetry among depositors. Each market's information tax is defined individually.

Queue depositors' will be subject to minimum information tax, since their deposits will be made by the relayers at the beginning of the deposit period.

Calculation:

F = min (\frac{P*a}{σ} ,0.5 ·P)

F: Information Tax Fee

P: Average Earthquake Premium (30-day lookback)

α: Average Global DeFi Fee

σ: Historical Underlying Asset Volatility (30-day lookback)

Rollovers are not subject to information tax.
