Input your **deposit amount** and select your **maturity period.**

You can choose to set a **fee** (optional) and **quick-select** the period by the yield rate boost amount.

Click **Bond** and you will receive a bond NFT to your wallet.

### Collect your bond reward

You can now claim your bond rewards.

### Stake your END

Once you have claimed your bond rewards, go to the **Stake** page to stake your END tokens.

Unstake by going to the unstake tab.

That’s it. You’re all set. You can now repeat the process and earn as many END tokens and stake for the staking yield as possible.

Have fun.

Checking your Bonds
-------------------

You can easily check all the bonds status including your own in the **Overview page.**

You can also check the **Treasury** and **Strategies** tabs to see the assets in the protocol and strategies’ TVL, etc.

You can also go to the bond marketplace by clicking ‘**View Bond Market’** on the top-right side of the table.

You can freely **trade your bond NFTs** there.

Finally, you can go to Uniswap and **swap END tokens,** as well as your **endETH** which you receive from depositing into bonds.

Mainnet Launch
--------------

More details will follow in the coming week as we prepare for the **mainnet deployment.**

The testnet will remain live for an **extended period after the launch on mainnet,** meaning you can freely trial the app by switching between testnet and mainnet once mainnet is live and have a chance to earn an airdrop claim in the future.

Thanks for checking us out!

Tell your frENDs 🖤
