Follow the steps below to purchase a Liquidity Bond:
1) Connect your wallet to ApeBond (for instructions, visit the How to Connect Your Wallet page).
2) Hover over Bonds in the nav bar, and then click "Buy a Bond" to visit the Bonds page.
3) Locate the Liquidity Bond you'd like to purchase.
4) Choose the token that you want to use to purchase the Bond.
You can purchase Liquidity Bonds with single assets via Zap, or with Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens. If this is your first time purchasing the Liquidity Bond, you will have to enable the Bond’s contract first.
5) Enter the amount of input tokens you'd like to use to purchase the Bond. The amount of output tokens (Partner tokens) that the Bond is worth will automatically update based on the amount of tokens you enter. Then, click BUY.
Done! You now own a Bond. The applicable NFT will show up in your wallet, and output tokens will begin vesting over the amount of time shown on the Bond.
Once you own a Bond, you'll see Claim and View buttons on the Bonds page. You can claim any vested tokens from an individual Bond using the Claim button, or you can use the Claim All button at the top right to claim all vested tokens across multiple Bonds.
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 page.
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 feature to buy a Bond with a single token.
