It builds strength over time rather than leaking value out through temporary incentives. ### How Bonding Works Bonding is designed to be simple, transparent, and efficient. 1. Choose a bond based on your preferred discount and vesting period 2. Select the asset you want to contribute (ETH, BTC, WETH, USDC, or other approved tokens) 3. Receive a Bond NFT and claim your discounted GOO as it vests #### Bond NFTs Each bond is represented as a claimable NFT. GOO is released over the vesting period, such as 30 or 60 days. Users can track and claim GOO as it becomes available. #### Treasury Allocation Assets contributed through bonding go directly to the treasury. They are allocated to: * Protocol owned liquidity pools to deepen markets and reduce slippage * The liquid backing, if the asset is BTC, ETH, or a stablecoin ### Dynamic Bond Management GooMoney uses a smart [emission manager](/goo.money/protocol/interactive-blocks.md) to maintain a balanced and healthy bonding environment. It automatically adjusts: * Which bond types are available * Discount rates based on demand and market conditions * Vesting durations to optimize incentives and protocol health * Epoch level bonding caps to prevent overexposure This ensures bonding is capital efficient, non inflationary, and aligned with long term treasury growth. ### Why Bonding Matters #### Treasury Growth GooMoney acquires productive, long term assets rather than paying LPs to temporarily provide liquidity #### Sustainability Vested tokens prevent instant dilution. Bonding scales with real demand, not speculative hype #### Value Backing Every bond increases the protocol’s Bitcoin based treasury. This boosts the liquid floor price backing each GOO #### Flywheel Activation Bonding fuels the entire GooMoney loop\ **Treasury growth → Staking rewards → Emissions → Governance → Adoption** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
