FAQ
Clear answers before you bond.
A practical reference for Bootstrap Revival, Bootstrap Bonds, reward mechanics, risks, and wallet expectations.
Basics
What Bootstrap Revival is, and what the bonding system is meant to do.
What is Bootstrap Revival?
Bootstrap Revival is a community-led effort around BOOTSTRAP built on visible commitment, transparent mechanics, and long-term alignment.
What are Bootstrap Bonds?
Bootstrap Bonds are voluntary on-chain commitments. Holders lock BOOTSTRAP for a chosen whole-day duration and can later withdraw at maturity or exit early with a principal penalty.
Do I have to bond my tokens?
No. Bonding is optional. It is designed for holders who want to make their commitment visible and participate in the bond reward system.
Bonding Rules
The current V1 rules exposed by the Bootstrap bond program.
What is the minimum bond?
The current V1 minimum is 1,000 BOOTSTRAP per bond.
How long can a bond last?
Bond durations are whole days. The current V1 range is 1 day through 365 days.
How many active bonds can one wallet have?
The current V1 limit is 64 active bonds per wallet.
What is a bond ladder?
A bond ladder means splitting a commitment across multiple bonds with different durations. It can help avoid a single large unlock date.
Rewards
How rewards work, where they come from, and what they do not promise.
Is there a guaranteed APY?
No. Bootstrap Bonds do not offer a preset or guaranteed APY. Any displayed estimates are informational and can change as treasury balance, bond weight, slashes, claims, and new bonds change.
Where do rewards come from?
V1 rewards come from treasury drip. The treasury can be funded by voluntary bootstrapping contributions and early-exit slashes.
Are rewards created through inflation?
No. The V1 bond design does not mint new BOOTSTRAP for rewards.
What happens to rewards if I exit early?
The early-exit penalty applies to bonded principal. Accrued rewards that have already been claimed remain yours.
Risk And Verification
Important caveats before relying on experimental on-chain software.
Is Bootstrap Bonds audited?
Bootstrap Bonds is experimental software. The site currently treats it as unaudited, and users should assume smart contract risk.
Where can I verify the program?
Use the Trust page for source, IDL, release, and on-chain IDL references. Use Build Verification for the reproducible build record and matching on-chain executable hash.
Is this financial advice?
No. Nothing on the site is financial advice. Bonding involves smart contract risk, market risk, wallet risk, and early-withdrawal penalties.
Wallets And Treasury
Wallet connection and treasury contribution expectations.
Which wallets can I use?
The site looks for Solana wallets available through the browser wallet standard. If you are on mobile, opening the site inside your wallet app browser may be required.
Why do I need SOL?
Solana transactions require a small amount of SOL for network fees, even when the transaction moves BOOTSTRAP.
How do treasury contributions work?
The homepage contribution flow sends BOOTSTRAP directly from your connected wallet to the program treasury vault using the Bootstrap Treasury instruction.
