Secondary Market: DEX-Based Bond Token Trading

The Secondary Market enables Bond Token trading through existing decentralized exchanges on the chains where Bondi deploys. Users can trade Bond Tokens without identity verification by simply connecting their wallets and accessing these DEX-based markets.

Market Infrastructure​

DEX Integration​

Bond Tokens are tradeable on established decentralized exchanges across multiple blockchain networks. This approach provides immediate liquidity access while leveraging proven AMM technology that traders already understand.

Automated Market Making​

Bondi operates custom market making infrastructure that maintains liquidity across these DEX platforms. The system continuously monitors and manages liquidity to ensure consistent trading experiences.

Liquidity Management Strategy​

Concentrated Liquidity Approach​

The market making system uses concentrated liquidity positioning with multiple price bins to optimize capital efficiency around the oracle price. This structure ensures tight spreads around fair value while accommodating natural price movements.

Dynamic Liquidity Allocation​

Market making capital is strategically allocated across price ranges to maintain optimal trading conditions:


Allocation Strategy:

• Active liquidity deployed in tight bands around the oracle price
• Reserve inventory maintained for rebalancing operations
• Capital distribution optimized for expected trade volumes
• Flexible positioning based on market conditions and volatility

Oracle Price Integration​

Real-Time Price Feeds​

The market making system integrates with bond pricing data to maintain accurate valuations:


Data Sources:

• Daily price updates reflecting traditional market movements
• Real-time accrued interest calculations
• Cross-validation against multiple market data providers

Accrued Interest Mechanics​

Bond Token pricing automatically incorporates accrued interest since the last coupon payment:


Calculation Method:
Accrued Interest = (Coupon Rate ÷ Payments per Year) × (Days Since Last Coupon ÷ Days in Period)

This ensures that Bond Token prices reflect their true economic value at any point in time, matching traditional bond market conventions.

Trading Mechanics​

Low Slippage Trading​

The liquidity structure is designed to support significant trades with minimal price impact:


Target Performance:

• Substantial trades execute with minimal slippage
• Consistent execution quality regardless of market conditions

Real-Time Rebalancing​

Unlike traditional market makers that rebalance daily, Bondi's system monitors pools continuously:


Monitoring Features:

• Real-time trade detection across all integrated DEXs
• Immediate liquidity rebalancing after significant trades
• Automatic inventory management to maintain target allocations
• Dynamic position adjustments based on market activity

Fee Structure​

Trading fees follow standard DEX conventions:


• Base Trading Fee: 0.3%
• Fee Distribution: Shared between liquidity providers.

Market Access​

Permissionless Trading​

Secondary market access requires no identity verification:


Trading Requirements:

• Compatible wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
• Sufficient tokens/stablecoins for desired trades
• Gas tokens for transaction fees

Integration with DeFi​

External Protocol Compatibility​

Bond Tokens maintain ERC-20 compatibility for use across DeFi protocols, enabling users to integrate them into lending platforms, yield farming strategies, and other decentralized finance applications while maintaining full functionality.

Risk Management​

Circuit Breaker Protections​

The market making system includes protections against extreme market conditions:


• Automatic pause mechanisms during unusual price movements
• Position limits to prevent excessive exposure
• Emergency withdrawal capabilities for market makers
• Real-time monitoring for suspicious trading patterns

Liquidity Risk Mitigation​

Multiple strategies ensure consistent liquidity availability:


Risk Controls:

• Inventory limits prevent overexposure to single positions
• Dynamic rebalancing maintains target price ranges
• Regular strategy evaluation and optimization

The Secondary Market provides reliable, efficient trading for Bond Tokens while maintaining the decentralized, permissionless nature that DeFi users expect. Through careful liquidity management and real-time monitoring, the system ensures that traders can access Bond Token markets with confidence and minimal friction.
