Bond lifecycle prerequisites

Prepare bond funding, yield claims, maturity, and redemption in DALP by checking the required features, treasuries, allowances, and indexed status values before each phase.

Bond lifecycle operations depend on two separate funding surfaces. Fixed Treasury Yield funds periodic coupon or interest claims from a yield treasury. Maturity Redemption funds face value repayment from the maturity redemption treasury. Before you fund claims, trigger maturity, or enable holder redemption, check the prerequisite for that phase.

When to use this page

Use these checks for bond tokens with yield, maturity, or redemption features attached. The scope is operational: funding, yield claims, maturity, and holder redemption.

Legal payment terms, investor eligibility, and off-chain notice obligations sit outside these checks.

Lifecycle phases

PhaseWhat must already be trueStatus or route to check
Issue the bondMaturity Redemption is configured with a maturity date, denomination asset, and face value. The treasury defaults to the deploying sender unless governance sets another treasury.Token feature reads show Maturity Redemption attached after indexing catches up.
Fund coupon or interest claimsFixed Treasury Yield is configured with a denomination asset, treasury, rate, interval, start date, and end date. The treasury holds enough denomination asset for completed and upcoming periods.Yield coverage statistics show balance and allowance coverage for the yield treasury.
Fund maturity repaymentThe maturity redemption treasury holds enough denomination asset to cover full face value redemption of the outstanding bond supply.Bond status shows denominationAssetBalanceAvailable, denominationAssetBalanceRequired, and coveredPercentage.
Approve treasury spendingIf the maturity or yield treasury is a wallet, that wallet approves the feature contract to spend the denomination asset. Contract treasuries manage approval through their own controls.For maturity, check denominationAssetTreasuryAllowance, allowanceCoveredPercentage, treasuryIsContract, and featureAddress from bond status.
Trigger maturityGovernance calls the maturity operation when the scheduled maturity date is reached, or an emergency actor triggers early maturity when that route is intentionally used.After maturity, non-redemption transfers are blocked and holders use the maturity redemption route.
RedeemThe bond is mature, the holder has tokens to redeem, and the maturity treasury has enough balance and, for wallet treasuries, enough allowance for the payout.The maturity redemption route queues the holder redemption.

Funding yield claims

Yield claims are pull based. Holders claim completed-period yield, and unclaimed yield remains in the configured treasury until claimed.

Before the yield period starts, verify these prerequisites:

  1. Fixed Treasury Yield is attached to the token.
  2. Historical Balances is available so the feature can calculate snapshot-based holder entitlements.
  3. The configured yield treasury holds the denomination asset used for coupon or interest payments.
  4. If the treasury is a wallet, the treasury wallet has approved the yield feature to spend enough denomination asset for claims.
  5. At least one configured interval has completed before holders see claimable yield.

Use the yield coverage statistics route to decide whether the treasury is ready for claims. A funded treasury is not enough when the treasury is a wallet. The allowance side must also cover the required payout amount.

Funding maturity repayment

Maturity repayment uses the maturity redemption treasury, not the legacy bond denomination top-up path. When a bond has Maturity Redemption attached, fund the configured maturity treasury through the maturity redemption top-up flow.

Before maturity, verify these prerequisites:

  1. Maturity Redemption is attached and indexed for the token.
  2. The maturity redemption treasury is the intended repayment source.
  3. The treasury holds the denomination asset used for face value repayment.
  4. denominationAssetBalanceAvailable is at least denominationAssetBalanceRequired on bond status.
  5. solvencyKnown is true before treating balance and coverage values as authoritative.

The bond status route separates unknown indexed state from known shortfall. If solvencyKnown is false, the coverage values are placeholders while the indexer catches up. Show a verifying state and retry instead of treating the treasury as empty.

Approving wallet treasuries

Wallet treasuries need ERC-20 allowance because the maturity redemption feature pulls the denomination asset from the treasury when a holder redeems. Contract treasuries do not use the wallet approval route.

Use these rules before showing an approval option:

  • If treasuryIsContract is false, the configured treasury wallet can call the maturity redemption treasury allowance route.
  • If treasuryIsContract is true, do not show the wallet approval flow. Manage allowance through the treasury contract controls.
  • If treasuryIsContract is null, wait for treasury classification to finish and retry the bond status read.
  • Submit the allowance amount in denomination asset base units.

For redemptions, the platform checks wallet treasury allowance before queueing the transaction. The platform rejects the submission when the allowance is below the payout required for the holder's requested amount.

Maturity and redemption behavior

Maturity does not happen automatically at the scheduled date. An authorized maturity operation moves the token into the post-maturity state. After that state change, normal transfers are blocked and holders redeem through the maturity redemption route.

Before enabling holder redemption, verify:

  1. The token is mature.
  2. The holder has a redeemable token balance.
  3. The maturity treasury is funded for the expected redemption volume.
  4. Wallet treasury allowance covers the payout amount when the treasury is not a contract.
  5. Bond status values have caught up after recent treasury top-ups, treasury changes, approvals, or redemptions.

Redemption burns the holder's bond tokens and pays the denomination asset at the configured face value. Later redemptions can fail if earlier redemptions deplete treasury balance or wallet allowance.

Common failure modes

SymptomLikely causeWhat to do
Yield claim is not availableNo period has completed, the holder has no claimable entitlement, or the feature is not attached yet.Wait for a completed interval and confirm the token feature read shows Fixed Treasury Yield attached.
Yield claim fails with funded treasuryThe treasury is a wallet and allowance is too low.Check yield coverage allowance values and approve from the treasury wallet when appropriate.
Bond status shows zero coverage right after setupThe solvency view has not caught up yet.Treat solvencyKnown: false as a verifying state and retry.
Legacy denomination top-up does not fund redemptionThe bond uses Maturity Redemption with a configured treasury.Use the maturity redemption top-up flow for the configured treasury.
Redemption fails after maturityTreasury balance or wallet allowance is below the required payout.Top up the maturity treasury and approve wallet allowance before retrying.
