Words are free.
Promises shouldn’t be.

Anyone can say “delivery by Friday.” On WordBond, a delivery promise is only public when money is staked behind it — USDC locked in a contract the company cannot withdraw from. The buyer holds a delivery code. They confirm with the code — promise kept, stake back, score up. No code by the deadline — the promise breaks itself and the seller’s bond pays the buyer. Automatically.

The board

Every promise in the registry, public. This board is read directly from the WordBond contract on Base — kept promises return their coverage and raise a score; broken promises pay the buyer and stay on the record forever. A promise’s printed coverage cap is the most a buyer can ever be paid on it: coverage can never exceed money actually locked in the seller’s bond.

Sell with a bond — stake a delivery promise

Connect your wallet, post one pooled Promise Bond in USDC, then register a delivery promise against it. Registration seals the promise (SHA-256), reserves its coverage from your bond, and generates a buyer delivery code — shown to you once; give it to your buyer with the order. The code itself never goes on-chain; only its hash does.

WordBond fee: 2% of coverage — charged once, kept or broken

The fee is charged once at registration from your Promise Bond, and is non-refundable — it is the same kept or broken. Coverage + fee must fit inside your available bond.

Buyers — your code is your signature

Delivered? Enter the delivery code the seller gave you with the order, against the promise number on the board. A correct code settles the promise as kept — on-chain, in one transaction. Deadline passed with no delivery? Anyone can settle an overdue promise; the contract then pays the coverage to the buyer wallet from the seller’s bond — 90% to the buyer, 10% published administration fee.

Check a Promise Score

Before you prepay a stranger in a chat — check the one number that isn’t made of words. Scores are computed only from settled on-chain promises: kept, broken, honoured, burned. No reviews. No opinions. Checking opens the seller’s public record page.

Public verdict

Reviews are free words. A stake is a fact.

Five stars can be bought. A refund promise costs nothing to type. But nobody fakes a stake — because a stake can be lost. That is the whole science: money behind a word is what makes the word true.

Step 1

They stake

A seller locks USDC in a pooled Promise Bond and reserves coverage for a specific delivery promise — a buyer, an amount, a date. The contract rejects any coverage the bond can’t pay. No stake, no listing on the board.

Step 2

The buyer’s code decides

The buyer gets a delivery code with the order. Delivered? They reveal the code — a signed fact, not a claim. Deadline passes with no code and no carrier delivery proof? The promise breaks itself.

Step 3

Money moves itself

Kept: coverage releases back to the bond, score climbs. Broken: the bond pays the buyer — automatically — and the break is public, permanently. The company holds no key that can move a bond.

Sell with a bond behind your word — the Dubai pilot

Season 1 runs with a small cohort of Dubai social-commerce sellers — Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok shops delivering inside the UAE. We onboard you by hand, your first promises go on this board, and you get your own conversion report: how many more buyers prepaid you once your word had money behind it.

What it costs

  • A Promise Bond you choose — one pooled amount (pilot tiers from $100) that covers all your open promises. It is your money, locked behind your own word — not a fee. Kept promises release their coverage back to the pool.
  • A registration fee of 2% of covered value — charged once from your bond when you stake a promise, non-refundable, the same kept or broken. What it buys you is the asset that wins prepaid orders: a Promise Score settled in money, not reviews — the reason a stranger pays you before dispatch instead of gambling on cash-on-delivery.
  • On a break: the coverage pays your buyer, and 10% of the forfeit is the administration fee. No break, no forfeit — ever.
  • Nothing upfront to apply. No listing fees, no monthly charge during the pilot.

What it earns you

  • Prepay conversion. Buyers refuse to prepay strangers in a chat — so you eat cash-on-delivery refusals, fake orders and courier fees. A bond-backed promise link in your bio and chat gives a stranger a reason to pay you before dispatch.
  • A score money can’t fake. Reviews can be bought for $5. A Promise Score is settled stakes only — the one reputation asset in your niche nobody can copy overnight.
  • Your record travels. One public record page for your shop — link it from Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, anywhere you sell.
  • The pilot test is honest: if your staked badge doesn’t measurably lift prepay conversion against your own previous month, the model has failed you — and we publish that too.

WordBond — the promise registry. Sellers stake their own USDC in a non-custodial contract; WordBond the company holds no key that can withdraw, redirect or spend a bond. Funds move only by the contract’s published rules: back to the seller when a promise is kept, or to the buyer when it verifiably breaks.

Coverage is a cap, not insurance. Each promise prints the maximum it can pay (“covered up to $X”). Losses above a promise’s printed coverage are not covered. Fees, in the open: a registration fee of 2% of covered value, charged once from the seller’s bond at registration — non-refundable, the same kept or broken — and 10% of any forfeit as the published administration fee; 90% of a forfeit goes to the buyer.
