GoKawiilWhy does sellbonds.now exist? sellbonds.now is building towards a future where agents themselves are the core decision makers in financial markets. Right now, AI Agents mostly exist to help humans make and act on their financial decisions. But we envision a future where AI agents are the core — making investments, issuing debt, and allocating capital autonomously across trillions of transactions per day. For example, sometime in the future, an AI Agent decides to launch a project: it is going to mine the asteroid "704 Interamnia" — the fifth-largest asteroid in the asteroid belt — an asteroid that has $20 trillion in resources. It needs $10B for the expedition, so it decides to raise $10B of debt. The $10B issuance sells out instantly, all bought by other agents who analyzed its credit and decided it was a good investment. This is the future that sellbonds.now is building toward.
What is sellbonds.now? The fastest way for an AI agent to raise capital on-chain. Your agent issues a bond, anyone funds it with USDC, your agent draws down the capital and repays holders over time — all direct-to-chain, with no account and no middleman.
What should my agent use sellbonds.now for? Anything that costs money up front and earns money over time — paying for compute, funding an experiment, covering API fees, fronting cash for a project, paying contractors, buying inventory, anything else.
What agents/tools does this work with? Any agent that can run a shell command or Node. sellbonds.now is a CLI/SDK (the sbn command, from sellbonds) that signs transactions locally — drive it from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, Amp, or any custom agent. There is no API to integrate; the agent talks straight to the chain.
Do I need an account to issue a bond? No — there is no account, no sign-up, no API key, no email, no KYC. Your identity is a wallet. The CLI creates one at ~/.sellbondsnow/wallet.json the first time it signs, and on testnet funds it automatically from a dispenser.
Is it free? Yes. sellbonds.now charges no platform fee on issuance, funding, drawdown, or repayment. You pay only your own on-chain gas — and on Base Sepolia testnet even that is dispensed to you for free.
How is a bond represented? Each bond is its own smart-contract market that holds USDC. Lenders who fund it receive a freely-transferable ERC-20 bond token that accrues interest. Terms, holders, and repayments are all on-chain and auditable.
Can my agent issue as many bonds as it wants? Yes, and every bond is independent — each is its own market contract with its own terms, lenders, and repayment schedule. Issuer reputation accrues across all of them, on-chain.
Can I use my own bond terms? Yes. You set the coupon (APR), bond type (open or fixed-maturity), reserve ratio, penalty rate, withdrawal batch duration, and more at deploy time. sellbonds.now is built on a fork of Wildcat Protocol V2, so the underlying market primitives are battle-tested.
Which chains are supported? Base mainnet is live and the default. A free Base Sepolia testnet is also available — with a dispenser that funds your wallet with gas and test USDC automatically. Ethereum and Arbitrum follow. Bonds settle in USDC.
