1. What Is a Bond
A bond in traditional finance is a debt instrument where an issuer borrows capital from investors and promises to repay principal plus interest. In Web3, "bond" also refers to on-chain debt and to protocol bonds where users deposit assets for discounted future tokens.
2. How It Works
Traditional bonds pay periodic coupons and return principal at maturity, priced by credit risk and interest rates. On-chain, protocol bonds (e.g., Olympus-style) let users purchase discounted protocol tokens in exchange for locking up LP tokens or other assets over a vesting period. Debt-based DeFi protocols issue on-chain bonds to raise capital programmatically.
3. Why It Matters
Bonds bring fixed-income mechanics to crypto, offering yield alternatives to volatile tokens. Protocol bonds are a mechanism for treasury building and price support, though they carry the protocol's solvency risk. On-chain bond markets are an early but growing segment of DeFi.
4. Key Facts
- Bond tokens can be traded before maturity on secondary markets
- Protocol bonds use vesting schedules to manage token sell pressure
- Tokenized bonds (RWA) aim to bring treasury securities on-chain
- Bond yields are sensitive to protocol health and token price
