As a DAO should be entirely decentralized, its fundraising should follow suit. To maintain full decentralization, Reform opted for a Bonding Treasury as a fundraising method. This treasury was filled with 390 million $RFRM on TGE, equivalent to 39% of the total supply, which is locked and available for swapping against $ETH, $USDC, or $USDT at any time. The Bonding Treasury will be refilled with buybacks from revenue generated.
What is a Bonding Treasury?
A Bonding Treasury enables decentralized fundraising and generates liquidity for Reform. Participants can acquire discounted $RFRM tokens by swapping against the Bonding Treasury and locking them in the Staking Contract for a predetermined period. This allows investors of all sizes to participate and maintain control over their tokens.
Why a Bonding Treasury?
The community has endorsed the Bonding Treasury for its multifaceted benefits, including generating liquidity, offering discounted $RFRM tokens to long-term supporters, and addressing market-wide liquidity and infrastructure issues. Gathered liquidity is allocated for purchasing tokens/coins and executing Market Making strategies that generate rebates. The rebates are then channelled to various treasuries and utilized for Reform token buybacks, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that benefits all DAO participants.
How does Bonding work?
Swapping $USDC, $USDT, or $ETH for $RFRM through the Bonding Contract is simple and accessible. Bonds can be purchased at a discount, with the discount rate depending on the selected locking period. From the revenue earned from the rebates, the DAO uses 65% for unpredictable $RFRM buybacks, which will be transferred back to the Bonding Treasury to gather more liquidity.
