Bond risks

Bonding has plain risks:

  • Vesting risk: assets are committed while the selected vest runs.
  • Retrace risk: PAPER or PLATE can fall after the bond is opened, including below the value implied by the discount.
  • Liquidity risk: the position used for the bond and the token received can both be difficult to exit at a desired price.
  • Protocol risk: oracle, contract, reserve, and parameter failures can affect the bond path.
  • Platform risk: these bonds settle through a third-party bonding platform, not solely StonkPress's own contracts. That is a dependency outside StonkPress's direct control.

When bonding pauses​

Bonding pauses when PAPER is below target. That rule is intended to avoid adding bond pressure during a below-target period. The governance multisig pauses the bonds themselves, so a pause takes effect once the multisig acts. It does not eliminate losses or assure later availability.
