Bond - A monetary social network to find your real supporters

by
Bond sits between a free “follow” and a recurring subscription: you bond money to someone once, they earn the interest, and you can withdraw your money anytime. The result is a verified audience list of real people with real intent and skin in the game. You can bond with someone you respect to signal support, get their attention, and unlock exclusive access, or you can bond with friends as a visible way to back each other and earn interest together.

Follows and subscriptions dominate the internet, and both are broken. Follows are cheap, meaningless, and full of bots. Subscriptions have the opposite problem: high-friction, costly, and easy to regret. Bond creates a new type of online relationship built on trust with real commitment and no lock-in. We are trying to figure out the best use of this mechanism (e.g., bond to get exclusive access, bond to support a cause, bond to join a group chat or community about a specific topic, etc.).
