3. Description of Services​

Overview​

Bondi Finance provides a platform that enables eligible Users to participate in the tokenization of corporate bonds. Our services include:

  • Redemption of Bond Tokens: Allowing the redemption of Bond Tokens at the maturity of the underlying bonds.
  • Processing Coupon Payments: Distributing periodic coupon payments to Bond Token holders, net of applicable fees.

Platform Role​

Bondi acts solely as a developer and provider of the software platform. All transactions are executed on a public blockchain via Users' self-custodial wallets. Bondi does not operate as a digital asset or derivatives exchange and does not provide trade execution or clearing services. Instead, all secondary transactions are executed peer-to-peer directly between Users' blockchain addresses, subject to applicable freezing or forced-transfer measures for suspicious or blacklisted accounts as set forth in our internal policies.

4. Disclaimers and Important Notices​

Software and Service Disclaimer​

Bondi is the developer and owner of the software that powers the Platform. However, Bondi does not operate a digital asset exchange or offer trade execution or clearing services.

  • User Transactions: All transactions involving Bond Tokens occur directly on a public blockchain and are executed via Users' self-custodial wallets. Bondi has no control over the underlying blockchain protocols and does not intervene in the execution of these transactions.
  • Limited Control Measures: While Bondi cannot restrict access to self-custodial wallets, we reserve the right to freeze or force-transfer Bond Tokens from wallets identified as suspicious or that are blacklisted, in accordance with our security and compliance policies.

No Financial Solicitation​

The information contained on this Platform and its associated websites is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to solicit, offer, or provide any financial product or service directly.
