Bond Token Lifecycle
Bond Tokens progress through a complete lifecycle from creation to redemption:
Lifecycle Stages:
- Issuance: Primary market funding where Bond Tokens are created through KYC-verified investment
- Trading: Permissionless secondary market trading on DEXs
- Coupon Distribution: Automated periodic interest payments to token holders via snapshot-based entitlements
- Redemption: Final principal repayment at maturity, issuer bond call, or early exit via the Redemption Vault
- Reinvestment Vault (vbtXXX): Auto-compounding ERC-4626 wrapper that enables full DeFi composability, lending, borrowing, collateral, leveraged looping
- Redemption Vault: Batch-based early exit path to access off-chain liquidity when onchain liquidity conditions are unfavorable
