Introduction

We’re the first tradable liquidity bond platform for crypto. Users lock LP positions for 10 years and receive Bond NFTs earning 100% APR - tradable from day one. So liquidity stays locked but users keep full exit flexibility. Partners get permanent liquidity, zero sell pressure from farming, and 100% APR incentives for their communities. Live on Ethereum, ApeChain, Berachain with pilots running on HelloDEX and Camelot.

For K9 Finance, we propose extending this model to knBONE and KNINE liquidity, creating the first long-term DeFi+NFT hybrid product in the Shibarium ecosystem.

(We have already integrated Shibarium Chain with the GMI Marketplace)

Project Description

Every ecosystem faces three critical challenges:
A. Relentless sell pressure from short-term traders
B. Weak demand for native tokens (KNINE, BONE)
C. Shallow liquidity leading to cascading price impacts and poor user experience

At GMI, we’ve built LP-Bonds specifically to solve these problems simultaneously and turn them into competitive advantages.

Here’s How It Works

Instead of watching users constantly dump tokens for quick profits, LP-Bonds lock that liquidity for 10 years while giving users a tradable NFT representing their position. This keeps tokens off the market, reducing sell pressure, while users still maintain flexibility through NFT trading.

For K9 Finance, we propose two strategic 10-year pools:

  • kNINE–GMI: Aligns GMI with K9’s core LSD product

  • knBONE–GMI: Direct buy pressure for K9’s governance token

Each pool offers 100%+ APY, ensuring deep, long-term liquidity that doesn’t vanish during downturns.

The system creates a positive feedback loop:

  • As KNINE and knBONE appreciate, users must acquire more tokens to mint LP-Bonds.

  • Those tokens get locked for 10 years, permanently reducing circulating supply.

  • Bond-NFTs remain tradable, combining yield + flexibility + long-term stability.

We’re essentially importing the $130T global bond market mindset into DeFi, tailored for Shibarium.

(Since we already have live pools on Ethereum, we can also integrate the K9-ETH pool on Ethereum while simultaneously launching on Shibarium)

Benefits to the K9 Finance Ecosystem

  • Sticky TVL: Long-term, non-withdrawable liquidity bonded in both pools.

  • Lower slippage, better UX: Deeper books across KNINE & BONE pools.

  • Reduced sell pressure: Locked liquidity keeps tokens off the market.

  • Buy pressure for KNINE: Users must acquire tokens to mint new bonds.

  • Measurable growth: Public dashboards with TVL, APY, Bond-NFTs, wallets, and slippage deltas.

  • Attract both retail & funds: Bond-like yields + NFT tradability appeal to both groups.

  • Composability: Bonds integrate with Shibarium wallets, explorers, and analytics.

Sounds interesting, but i havnt been much into bond(age) before, could you explain a little more how this work?
Like what will I earn, what can I do with the NFT, and what does “full exit flexibility” mean?
Also, I assume you guys dont work for free, what is the cost for K9 DAO?

All this been said, imo, we cant do anything before everything is solved with the Shibarium bridge hack, and we know what path K9 DAO will take from there.

Hey, appreciate you taking the time to dig into this!

So the LP Bond concept is basically a liquidity-building mechanism that creates ongoing buy pressure for KNINE while providing solid yields to participants. Let me break down how it actually works:

How it works:
We’d create a dedicated KNINE-GMI liquidity pool where users deposit equal dollar values of both tokens (50/50 split). When they do, they get a Bond NFT that represents their locked position for 10 years. The pool maintains at least 100% APR.

This solves 3 major pain points for K9:

  1. Increase long-term TVL
  2. Reduce sell pressure (because KNINE locked in the bonds can’t be sold for 10 years)
  3. A 100% APR farm opportunity for the K9 community

And here’s the interesting part - as GMI’s price increases, the pool has to automatically rebalance by buying more KNINE to maintain that 50/50 ratio. If GMI goes 10x, the pool needs to buy an additional amount of KNINE to stay balanced. That’s direct, automatic buy pressure for KNINE that grows with our success.

What you earn:
Minimum 100% APR, upgradable up to 250%. These are real yields paid out from our farming emissions, not unsustainable rebase mechanics.

And note - 100-250% APR is sustainable as it amounts to 25-35% if it were compounded over 10 years, thus has the market power of triple digit returns while remaining sustainable for the long haul.

The NFT and “full exit flexibility”:
Your Bond NFT is tradeable on our marketplace even though the underlying liquidity stays locked for 10 years. So if any user needs out before the lock ends, they can sell their Bond NFT to someone else - that person takes over the position and yields. Users aren’t trapped, but the liquidity itself never leaves the pool, which protects against the typical “lock ends, everyone dumps” scenario.

Cost to K9 DAO:
This is key and honestly why we structured our proposal the way we did. There’s no upfront cost or ongoing fees to K9. We’re focused on getting results first - if the results are strong then we can talk about what’s appropriate after the fact. I believe that’s the correct way to do things.

The only thing we do ask is good co-marketing effort to help your community be aware of this and help us both make it a win-win.

Re: the Shibarium bridge situation

Totally with you on this.
I’m happy to see Shibarium adopt the same sort of security mechanisms we’ve had in place (7 day delay for bridging funds off the chain). That’s a good first step for fixing things there.

Also major props to you guys for locking down the KNINE to prevent it from being dumped by the hacker. I’m confident you guys will come up with a good solution - perhaps creating a secondary KNINE token which represents those locked funds which you could ultimately count the original as burned, or something of that sort. We’re very security-minded so happy to help however we can.
