Capital is moving
on-chain. Fixed income
hasn't caught up.

$300 billion in stablecoins sits on the blockchain, hunting for yield. Traditional assets have followed, debt, credit, equity, all tokenizing at pace. The tokenized asset market has expanded 28x in three years. Yet one category remains structurally absent: genuine single-name investment-grade corporate bonds.

Introducing
Gyld On-Chain Bonds

Tokenized, composable USD corporate bonds. Each Gyld token is 1:1 backed by a real investment-grade bond held in a bankruptcy-remote structure, and freely transferable and composable across Ethereum and Solana DeFi.

01 / 05

Built for DeFi, from the ground up

Designed natively for on-chain composability. Transferable, collateralizable, and integrable across DeFi protocols.

02 / 05

Freely transferable

Tokens move freely on-chain. Enable trading, collateral posting, vault construction and leveraged strategies without bank intermediaries.

03 / 05

Uncorrelated returns

Returns driven by issuer fundamentals and credit cycles, not by crypto market volatility or on-chain leverage dynamics.

04 / 05

Permissionless by design

No allowlist gate after issuance. Trade, lend against, or compose the token in DeFi without routing through Gyld.

05 / 05

Deep underlying liquidity

Backed by bonds that trade in the world's most liquid credit markets. Five days a week. Both sides of the book.

Live market reference

Where Gyld bonds sit on the credit curve.

US Treasuries set the risk-free floor. Investment-grade corporates trade at modest spread. High-yield rewards credit risk. Each Gyld bond plotted against the curve it lives on.

The economics of
structured finance, rewritten.

On-chain issuance changes the shape of the market for everyone, issuers gain distribution and speed, investors gain flexibility and access.

For issuers

Reach capital that traditional distribution cannot.

New distribution channel

Tap $300B+ in on-chain stablecoin capital via DeFi, reaching allocators traditional syndication desks never touch.

Faster, cheaper markets

No clearing layers, no nominees, near-instant settlement. Lifecycle costs compress materially.

Fractional denomination

Any clip size. Open to mass-affluent and emerging-HNW segments previously locked out by $200K minimums.

Programmable lifecycle

Coupons, redemptions and corporate actions automated on-chain. The bond becomes a piece of composable infrastructure.

For investors

Better terms, more flexibility, no bank dependency.

On-chain repo financing

Straightforward and cheap borrowing on DeFi venues, without bilateral ISDAs or tri-party friction.

24/7 liquidity

Transfer or exit any hour, any day, outside bank settlement windows and market operating hours.

Transparent valuation

Daily NAV on-chain, independently verifiable. No NAV fax on Monday morning.

Lower minimums

No minimums vs. the $200K+ clip required at private banks. Real access to investment-grade credit for the first time.

Arms-length
by design.

Issuers access on-chain capital in a fully arms-length manner, retaining legal and compliance control throughout. Gyld handles investor onboarding, AML screening, transaction monitoring, token issuance and redemption.

Composable by default

Standardised tokens, compatible with most exchanges and financing/repo markets.

A new on-chain primitive

Permissionless,
composable by design.

Investor verification and AML screening happen once, at primary issuance. From that point on, a Gyld bond token is a standard on-chain asset, not a wrapped security with a gatekeeper. It carries the full composability of DeFi: free to trade, post as collateral, or build into any protocol, permissionlessly.

01 / 05

Permissionless secondary trading

Trade peer-to-peer or on any DEX, any hour, without routing through Gyld or a centralized venue.

02 / 05

Native DeFi collateral

Post as collateral in lending and money markets like any other on-chain asset, no special integration required.

03 / 05

Composable with any protocol

Vaults, structured products, perpetuals and yield strategies can build on Gyld bonds without special-casing the asset.

04 / 05

Standard token interface

Issued as standard ERC-20 and SPL tokens. Standard rails, standard tooling, compatible out of the box.

05 / 05

24/7, global, unbounded

The token moves whenever the chain does, weekends and holidays included, to any wallet, anywhere DeFi reaches.

"Permissionless" refers to on-chain transfer and composability once a token is issued to a verified holder. It does not describe who may become a primary investor, that remains subject to Gyld's onboarding and applicable law.

Illustrative examples — not offered by Gyld

Fixed income,
fully composable.

Gyld bond tokens are building blocks, not vaults. The two constructs below are hypothetical illustrations of what a DeFi curator or asset manager could build on top of Gyld bond tokens, combining traditional credit with on-chain yield. Gyld does not build, operate, manage or offer these vaults; they do not exist today.

Illustrative example 01

IG Financials Vault

Hypothetical construct: senior unsecured debt, the five largest US G-SIBs.

Investment-grade senior unsecured debt from the five largest US G-SIBs. 1.1-year average duration, CET1 ratios of 13–15%, meaningful credit spread over Treasuries with near-money-market rate risk.

Credit Bridge Vault

Hypothetical construct: high-yield real-world credit meets on-chain basis yield.

The best of both worlds. High-yield bonds from mission-critical financial infrastructure companies, blended with fixed-rate on-chain yield from PT tokens and sUSDS. Real-world credit spread and on-chain basis in one portfolio.

These vault constructs are hypothetical and for illustration only. They are not products of Gyld, are not built, operated, managed or offered by Gyld, and no such vaults currently exist. They illustrate the kinds of strategies that partners, DeFi curators and asset managers could construct using Gyld bond tokens as a building block. Composition, allocations and yields shown are illustrative and not indicative of any actual or future offering.
