Bonds
Forward specification
This page describes the intended design, not shipped software. The only behaviour live on-chain today is synthetic position creation. The $TRANT token, bonds, staking, liquidity pools and mining, trading, liquidation, and oracle mechanics described across these pages are specified but not built or deployed. See Technical overview.
Bonds let the protocol acquire its own liquidity. You lend accepted capital to TRANT and, in return, receive $TRANT at a discount that vests over a maturation schedule rather than all at once.
- Lend capital to open a bond position.
- Vest your discounted $TRANT across the maturation schedule.
- Claim matured $TRANT as it unlocks.
A bond is a one-way trade: once opened it cannot be cancelled, and the discount is fixed at the moment you lend. The capital you lend goes to protocol-owned liquidity, not to a counterparty.
