### How Liquidity Bonds Work

<figure><img src="/files/eaGQdpZL9POgZ0N5eqtu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Liquidity Bonds offer users the opportunity to purchase tokens at a discount that vest over time, represented by an NFT, **in exchange for Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens**. The discounted tokens vest over a certain amount of time, becoming claimable to the holder of the Liquidity Bond NFT incrementally.

Each Bond's discount amount varies based on a combination of market forces. For more on how the discount amount is determined, visit the [Bond Pricing](/apebond/products-and-features/bonds/bonds-pricing.md) page.

### Buying Liquidity Bonds

To buy a Bond, a user must first create an LP token by adding liquidity to the DEX for the trading pair that corresponds to that type of Bond. For example, ABOND-BNB LP tokens are used to purchase the ABOND-BNB Liquidity Bonds, which yield ABOND tokens.

From there, users can visit the Bonds page on ApeBond, and select the Liquidity Bond they would like to purchase.\
\
Or, the user can instead use the [Zap](/apebond/products-and-features/zap.md) feature to buy a Bond with a single token.
