Borrowers on the Verified Network can therefore issue tokenized bonds that users with collateral can buy. The collateral from bond sales can be staked into liquidity sources such as Compound, Aave and Maker to borrow USDC or DAI or other supported forms of liquidity. Bonds issued on the Verified Network are zero coupon bonds, so the par value of a bond is discounted by borrowing rates to price the bond that users can purchase. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.verified.network/reference/verified-sdk/staking-to-borrow.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
