01 Pots Money

How to Buy IBS Bonds

Purchase IBS bonds with USDT. The smart contract auto-forms a permanent 50/50 USDT/IBS LP, locked forever via POL protocol — deepening liquidity with every bond purchase.

1
Connect wallet

Connect a Web3 wallet (MetaMask or WalletConnect) to potsdefi.com. You need USDT on BNB Smart Chain. Ensure total account holdings ≥ 100 USDT equivalent to qualify.

2
Choose bond duration

Select: 90 / 180 / 360 / 540 / 720 days. Longer duration = higher reference APY (up to 7,814%) and deeper token discount (down to 80% of market price).

3
Enter USDT amount and confirm

Enter the amount. Approve in your wallet. Contract automatically: swaps 50% to IBS → forms USDT/IBS LP → sends LP token to Blackhole (permanent lock).

4
Yield compounds automatically

Every 8 hours, yield distributes automatically. Principal releases linearly each day. Claim anytime or let it compound — both principal and yield stay accessible.

02 Pots Money

Bond Principal Redemption & Reward Claim

Understand the two claimable components of your bond position: yield (accumulates every 8 hours) and principal (releases linearly daily throughout the bond duration).

1
Navigate to your bond position

Open potsdefi.com and go to your active bonds. Each bond shows: duration remaining, principal released so far, and claimable yield.

2
Claim yield

Yield accumulates every 8 hours. Click Claim Yield to collect. Claimed yield is added to your IBS balance immediately and can be staked or swapped.

3
Claim principal

Principal releases linearly daily over the full bond duration. The released portion is claimable at any time — you do not need to wait until expiry.

4
Compound instead of claiming

Leave both yield and released principal in the position to continue compounding. No action required — the 8-hour cycle runs automatically.

03 Pots Market

How to Participate in POTS Market

Trade binary prediction markets on shared Polymarket liquidity. Every market is a yes/no question — Yes + No always = $1. Non-custodial, EIP-712 signed, gasless.

1
Deposit funds

Click Deposit → select source chain. Polygon USDC / pUSD: zero fee, ~10 seconds. Cross-chain stablecoins: near-zero fee. Non-stablecoins: bridge fee applies.

2
Browse markets and select outcome

Find an event. Each market shows Yes and No prices — these are implied probabilities. Buying Yes at $0.40 means betting >40% chance the event occurs. Correct = you receive $1.00 per token.

3
Choose order type

Market order: fills immediately at best price. Limit order: set your target price, order waits in the shared Polymarket CLOB. Limit orders earn daily USDC maker rebates when filled.

4
Place and monitor

Enter amount → tap Trade. Your order is EIP-712 signed by your private key — Pots Market routes it but cannot modify or execute unauthorized trades. Monitor in Portfolio.

5
Redeem at resolution

When the market resolves, winning tokens = $1.00 each, losing tokens = $0. Redeem directly from your portfolio — funds settle atomically on Polygon.
