Overview

Definition An Oracle-Bonded Corporate Derivative (OBCD) is a synthetic financial instrument that transforms speculative liquidity from prediction markets into a stable, legally enforceable risk transfer contract. It bridges the gap between decentralized information markets and traditional corporate treasury management.

The Problem: Gambling vs. Hedging Corporations cannot "gamble." A logistics company cannot simply log into a crypto app and bet on the Suez Canal closing. This creates accounting liabilities, regulatory friction, and reputational risk. Furthermore, prediction markets operate on binary terms (0 or 1), whereas corporations require indemnity or parametric protection structures.

The Solution: Financializing the Truth FaaSFi acts as the counterparty to the corporation. We issue an OBCD, which looks and behaves like a standard ISDA derivative or an insurance policy. The "Bonding" aspect refers to the collateralization mechanism. When a corporation pays a premium, FaaSFi does not hold that risk. Instead, the protocol immediately executes a "back-to-back" hedge across global prediction markets (Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless).

Essentially, the OBCD is a wrapper that "cleans" raw speculative data and liquidity, presenting it to the enterprise client as a compliant financial product.
