Bonding

What is Bonding? Bonding is a short-term, active strategy that allows users to acquire $STOX at a discount by depositing assets like $xNVDA, $xTSLA, $SOL, $USDC and $xSPY. In return, the protocol accumulates valuable treasury assets and builds protocol-owned liquidity (POL).

Unlike staking, which is passive and compounding, bonding requires monitoring bond discounts fluctuate and depend on market demand.

Users commit capital upfront and receive a fixed amount of $STOX over a vesting period. This makes bonding ideal for those who anticipate a stable or rising $STOX price.

Why It Matters:

• Grows the protocol treasury with real, productive assets

• Secures long-term liquidity in trading pools

• Helps maintain price stability and protocol resilience

Bonding participants trade short-term liquidity for discounted $STOX and play a key role in expanding the STOX economy.
