Contractions & $RBONDS

1. "When can I swap $ROCKET for $RBOND?"

$RBOND will only become available in the Bond following epochs in which the Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of $ROCKET is under peg. This means that $ROCKET's price will have had to have been under 1 $FTM per 1 $ROCKET for the majority of the previous epoch in order to trigger the Bond to "open".

The Bond will always open at the very beginning of a new epoch, and remain open for the entire epoch — the Bond can not and will never open mid-epoch — and during epochs in which the Bond is open, $ROCKET will not be printed in the Launchpad.

2. "What is the formula to calculate the redemption bonus for $RBOND?"

To encourage redemption of $RBOND for $ROCKET when $ROCKET's TWAP > 1.1, and in order to incentivize users to redeem at a higher price, $RBOND redemption will be more profitable with a higher $ROCKET TWAP value. The $RBOND to $ROCKET ratio will be 1:R, where R can be calculated in the formula as shown below:

$$R=1+[(ROCKETtwapprice)-1)*coeff)9)]$$

$$coeff = 0.7$$

To further illustrate why the longer you hold $RBOND the more profitable it is, let's take an initial $1000 investment into consideration. In this example, say this $1000 is used to buy $ROCKET when $ROCKET TWAP is 0.95 and then swapped for $RBOND. If these $RBOND are redeemed when: -$ROCKET TWAP is 1.5, your investment would now be worth $1421. -$ROCKET TWAP is 2, your investment would now be worth $1789. -$ROCKET TWAP is 3, your investment would now be worth $2526. -$ROCKET TWAP is 5, your investment would now be worth $4000.

3. "I expected $RBOND to be issued in the Bond, but there is none. Why?"

There is a balanced state "at peg" when $ROCKET's TWAP is between 1.00 and 1.01, and this means there is neither contraction nor inflation.

4. "When can I swap $RBOND back to $ROCKET?"

You can swap it back again when the following two criteria are met:

1: $ROCKET TWAP is above peg and

2. There is enough in the treasury to cover it the redemption.

5. "Is $RBOND right for me?"

Like anything else in crypto, obtaining $RBOND is not risk-free. Just like in the real world, you are purchasing debt from the protocol with the expectation that you will be redeemed at a premium in the future. To date, this has occurred after all contractions, but past performance does not guarantee the same future outcomes. $RBOND is ideal for those with a medium to long-term time preference, as it incentivizes hodling in exchange for potentially extremely lucrative rewards. If you are looking for a quick flip or have short-term time preference, $RBOND may not be the right investment option for you.
