How do I join a bond? 


  • To join an existing Bond individuals should contact specific Bond administrators for further information. Ultimately each Bond has their own admission criteria.


 How do I create a bond? 


  • Bond creation currently is limited to the initial 5 alpha testing Bonds. As Bonds moves from alpha to close beta we’ll release more information on how you can request to be allowlisted for Bond creation.


 How long can I borrow cards? 


  • Currently Bond lending cycles last for one week starting on Tuesday Midnight UTC. Cards lent out to players during a cycle are lent for the entire duration of the cycle. Assets may not be lent out or retrieved mid cycle.


 How are the fees structured? 


  • Current fees are as follows (note: These fees are static during the alpha phase but will be made variable as the Bonds rollout progresses. Ultimately each Bond will be able to set their own Bond fee and Lender fee.):
  • 5% to Echelon Sink Schedule
  • 10% Net to Bond
  • 10% Net to Lenders


 How can I upgrade my bond? 


  • Bonds can be upgraded in two ways: 1) expanding bond membership capacity and 2) expanding the number of card pools the bond has access to. By default, bonds start with five members and one card pool.


 How will Bond rewards be sent out? 


  • Rewards for players will be claimable via Echelon.io or the Sanctuary Marketplace as they are now. Rewards for the Bond itself and the lenders will be sent to the Bond smart contract and made available via the individual Bond’s smart contract or via the bonds site.


 When do my earnings get raked and do I need to lend or borrow to get raked? 


  • If you are a member of a bond your earnings are raked whether or not you are currently borrowing/lending cards. The system is designed around active participation of bond members.


 Cards Why can I not see my newly acquired card? 


  • Bonds populates a list every Tuesday at approximately 12pm est with what cards each member owns and has access to in the game client.  If you acquire a new card in your bond wallet during the week, you will not get access to this card until the next cycle starts.  If you wish to acquire and play with new cards during a cycle it is advised to use a secondary wallet that is saved to your Parallel account.


 Does borrowing different types of assets or rarities affect my prime earnings? 


  • No, it does not. If you borrow any type or number of cards you will see a 20% rake on all earnings that cycle.


 Can I lend cached sets? 


  • You can lend the cards from cached sets individually.


 If multiple members are sharing the same card do they all get a portion of rewards for that card? 


  • No, a shared card must be borrowed to be eligible for rewards. For example if 2 members lend Wong but only 1 is borrowed then the member whose card was borrowed will receive rewards (the card that gets borrowed is random and can't be chosen by a borrower).
