The front month rolls. Two reads can be two different contracts.
Two ways to launch
Named after live cattle
An Argus launch, quoted in USDC. The ticker is a label. No backing, no claim on live cattle, no link to CME.
Priced in live cattle
Not possible for this contract. Its price feed on Arc closes or expires, and a coin quoting a price that stops is a coin quoting a stale one.
Everything under $CATTLE
A matching ticker is a coincidence. No backing, no claim on live cattle, no oracle.Launch $CATTLE
