Step 3: Purchase the VEO

1. Select the token to pay with (e.g., USDT)

2. Enter the desired amount to bond

3. You will see:

   • The amount of governance tokens you’ll receive

   • Your vesting end date

   • The current discount

4. Review and click “Buy Bond” to confirm the purchase.

5. Once confirmed, the bonded assets are non-reclaimable and are sent directly to the protocol’s treasury.

Example

If you bond $100 of USDT into a VEO with a 10% discount, you receive $110 worth of the project’s governance tokens, linearly vested over time. Your funds are permanently locked in the protocol’s treasury, and the tokens are streamed to your wallet.

Chart Components Explained

The chart on the Strategic Asset VEO purchase page provides real-time visibility into how the VEO bond price compares with the market price over time. It’s designed to help users evaluate the current discount and make informed bonding decisions.

Curve	Description
Blue Dots (Market Price)	This represents the real-time price of the token being bonded (e.g., USDT). It reflects the fair market value.
Purple Dots (VEO Price)	This shows the current bond price offered in the VEO. It is dynamically updated based on the pricing strategy (e.g., Oracle Sequential).
Orange Line (Discount %)	This tracks the percentage discount offered by the VEO compared to the market price at any point in time. A negative value (e.g., -6%) means users can buy the token at a discount.

---

How to Read the Chart

• When the purple (VEO price) is lower than the blue (market price):

  • A discount is available.

  • The larger the gap, the bigger the discount.

• The orange discount curve helps visualize changes in the discount over time.

  • It may increase or decrease based on market conditions and VEO strategy.

• Use the 1D / 7D / All toggle below the chart to zoom into shorter or longer timeframes.
