$EMPIRE Bonds

Empire City Community Bonds

Time-locked, yield-bearing NFT instruments designed to support Empire liquidity, predictable yield, and optional secondary-market transferability.

Each bond has a defined face value, maturity date, daily yield rate, and yield denomination
Transferable unless a specific Series states otherwise
Can be sold or transferred on secondary markets at the holder’s discretion

Lock-Up & Maturity

Different Series may have different tokens, rates, and schedules
Only Community Bonds yielding $EMPIRE are redeemable toward a Founders Bond

Founders Bond Path

$EMPIRE-yielding Community Bonds may be combined and exchanged by an approved project founder
