What
Are
Bonds?

Definition

In TradFi, when governments or corporations borrow money, they issue a bond.

A bond is a loan from investors to the issuer, formalised as a debt security.

Commercial paper is a short-term, unsecured debt instrument that isn't backed by collateral like bonds.

Returns

Bondholders receive fixed returns in the form of interest, known as coupon payments, paid periodically until the bond matures.

At maturity, the principal is repaid, assuming no default occurs.

Commercial paper is sold at a discount and redeemed at maturity for its full face value, with the difference being the investor's return (like a zero-coupon bond).

Tradability

Just like shares, bonds can be bought and sold on secondary markets, such as bond exchanges, allowing investors to trade them before maturity.

Commercial paper is primarily designed as a "buy-and-hold" instrument such that the secondary markets are much smaller and less liquid than the bond market.

Issuers

Bonds are typically issued by governments (e.g., U.S. Treasury bonds), large corporations, or medium-sized firms with established creditworthiness.

Smaller businesses rarely issue bonds or commercial paper directly because the process requires significant resources, regulatory compliance, and investor trust.

This effectively limits bond and commercial paper issuance to medium-sized corporations and up, leaving smaller entities out of this market.

Risk and Reward

The risk associated with bonds varies, and this is reflected in the coupon rate.

Safer issuers, like stable governments (e.g., U.S. or Germany), offer lower coupons because the risk of default is minimal.

Riskier issuers, such as corporations in volatile industries or those with weaker credit ratings, must offer higher coupons to attract investors.

Only medium-to-large corporations with strong credit ratings issue commercial paper, as investors need assurance of repayment.

Maturity

Bonds come with different time horizons—short-term (1-5 years), medium-term (5-10 years), or long-term (10+ years).

Longer maturities often mean higher coupons to compensate for the increased risk of economic changes, like inflation or interest rate shifts.

Commercial paper has a short maturity, usually ranging from a few days to 270 days (9 months), though most often it's 30-90 days.

Our Approach

Sukuk is a marketplace where profitable companies that TradFi perceives to be risky can issue a bond.

Investors can lend money; in return for a profit share, to companies who struggle to raise credit.

Our technology automates the flow of money in the sales contracts of a company (bond issuer) to mitigate risks for the investor (bond holder).

Sharia Compliance

The essential feature of Sharia is that when loans are made, the lender (bond holder) must share in the risk.

Embedding our technology into a sales contract of a company (bond issuer) enables hardcoded compliance with Sharia principles allowing:

  • Protection of a vendors interest by enforcing supplier payments
  • Collection of customer payments to repay principal and profit to bond holders

Important Points

The risk associated with Sukuk bonds is based on the credit worthiness of the bond issuers customers and the underlying asset/supply being funded.

Sukuk bonds have short maturity varying from 22 days upto 15 months depending on how the funding for the underlying asset/supply is structured and the frequency of customer payments.

Bondholders receive profit shares frequently up to an equivalent of 20% APY and at maturity the principal is repaid, assuming no default occurs.

DeFi on Berachain

Sukuk bonds can be bought and sold on secondary markets, such as Kodiak, allowing investors to trade them before maturity or earn additional yield by providing liquidity on Kodiak.

Sukuk bonds can be loaned or borrowed on our profit sharing isolated-risk money markets such that borrowers loans are put to work to generate profits to be shared with lenders enabling borrowers to increase their position size in DeFi…….coming soon

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is Sukuk?
Sukuk is a global on-chain marketplace where profitable businesses can raise debt from DeFi investors. Sukuk debt instruments are secured against the cash-flow and supply inventory of profitable businesses raising debt. DeFi investors receive yield generated from a share of the profit of the business. Sukuk bridges global trade markets with DeFi infrastructure, unlocking a new asset class and yield opportunity through blockchain-based profit sharing.
How does Sukuk work?
Sukuk connects real world business and commerce with on-chain capital using stablecoins. Starting in the $1T per annum Wholesale Telecom Carrier Industry; Sukuk builds credit lines for telecom related technology companies selling to larger institutional credit-worthy customers on extended payment terms, such as Hyperscalers, Government departments and/or Tier1 Telecom Operators or Mobile Operators. Capital providers deposit stablecoins into pools which are used to pay suppliers and in turn earn a share of the profit generated from selling to credit-worthy customers.
What is a Sukuk Bond?
Sukuk capital providers deposit stablecoins into pools and in doing so receive a token representing their share of the overall pool. This token represents the Bond they have invested in which will earn a share of the profits from the business that raises debt under this bond.
What makes Sukuk different from other DeFi protocols?
  • Sukuk has embedded its proprietary smart contract infrastructure into the business and operational support systems used by telecom related technology companies to enable trade and commerce.
  • Smart contract infrastructure secures and controls the flow of money in deal chains involving telecom related technology companies.
  • Real yield, not token emissions; returns come from actual business profits, not inflationary token models or interest on debt.
  • Bond composability; Sukuk bond tokens are composable across DeFi allowing for secondary liquidity and use as a collateral asset (e.g. lend/borrow).
  • Institutional access; designed for DAOs, crypto funds, and qualified investors looking to diversify with low-correlated yield.
Who can raise debt through Sukuk?
  • Telecom related technology companies involved in trading traffic streams of voice minutes, SMS messaging and/or data through IoT and roaming contracts
If you are technology provider and/or trading in the following industries looking for debt financing or liquidity solutions then we would like to speak with you:
  • Payments companies and/or subscriber businesses performing remittances
  • Energy companies involved in the wholesale purchase of electricity and/or gas contracts
  • Game makers working with game publisher networks and marketplaces
  • Digital media brands involved in programmatic advertising and social media
  • Exporters of industrial/precious metals, agricultural/mineral commodities, electronics, machinery and/or automotives
  • Financial institutions and/or fintechs involved in consumer micro credit, automotive and/or real estate transactions
Who can invest in Sukuk?
  • Capital Providers (yield seekers; subject to KYC onboarding) looking for stable, non-correlated returns:
    • Individual DeFi Investors
    • Institutional Investors: DAOs, crypto-native funds, accredited investors, and institutional investors
  • Capital Providers must complete the one-time KYC check before depositing stablecoins in the pools. Once your KYC is verified the smart contract governing the pools will execute the deposit of stablecoins into the pools.
I'm an introducer or sales agent, how can I work with Sukuk?
To work with Sukuk, introducers and sales agents must complete an Agency Agreement and be capable of placing business on either the customer side, supply side or the whole transaction flow being funded.

Sukuk charges a performance fee to the investors who earn yield through the platform. For example; If a deal has been introduced where investors earn 20% APY then performance fee can be set at 30% such that the introducer/sales agent bringing the whole transaction flow to be funded would receive 50% commission.

If the introducer/sales agent brings only the customer or supply side, then the commission is split therefore receiving 25% commission for each leg introduced.

How is yield generated and distributed?
Yield is generated from a share of the profit on transactions that are funded by our proprietary smart contract infrastructure. The Sukuk platform advances liquidity to fund the supplier side deals whilst collecting the revenue from the customer side. At all times, the platform is monitoring the profit margins of the deals and is able to enforce profit shares accordingly. When the customer pays their invoices, the funds are collected on banking infrastructure controlled by the Sukuk platform which exchanges fiat currency into stablecoins to then distribute capital repayments and profit shares back to investors.
Which stablecoins can I deposit into Sukuk pools?
Sukuk pools are deployed on Berachain where capital providers can deposit the following stable coins:
  • USDT0
  • USDC.e
  • BYUSD (PYUSD on Berachain)
  • HONEY
  • USDa (Avalon)
  • USDe (Ethena)

If you have stablecoins on any other blockchain you can use bridging providers such as Stargate Finance to transfer your coins to Berachain.

What is the expected return or APY?

We target 10-20% base return equivalent in profit shares for underwriting credit and payment terms to customers when funding supplier terms in our transaction chains.

Yields can be boosted by providing liquidity on DeFi AMMs using the bond tokens issued when stablecoins are deposited into pools.

Yields will be compounded if investors do not withdraw their liquidity from the pools.

How can I withdraw or exit my position?

Sukuk stablecoin pool smart contracts utilise the ERC-7540 token standard that enables asynchronous interactions with ERC-4626 tokenised vaults. Investors will make requests to withdraw their stablecoins from the pool.

If the stablecoins are available to withdraw i.e. the stablecoins have not been used to pay suppliers in a transaction chain, then the smart contract will enforce withdrawal back to the investor's wallet.

If the stablecoins are not available to withdraw i.e. the stablecoins have been used to pay suppliers in a transaction chain, the the smart contract will wait until liquidity becomes available to enforce withdrawal back to the investor's wallet; whether that is due to a customer payment or new investors enter the pool.

Alternatively, trading on secondary markets such as DeFi AMMs is available 24/7/365 subject to liquidity and allows investors to sell their bond tokens on the open market.

How is Sukuk Sharia compliant?

The sukuk proprietary smart contract infrastructure is hard-coded Sharia compliant. The mechanisms deployed for funding transactions in deal chains are based on the following Islamic Finance principles:

  • Mudarabah is a profit-sharing contract where one party provides capital in conjunction with an entrepreneur who runs the business venture. Profits are shared according to a pre-agreed ratio, while losses are borne by the capital provider.
  • Murabaha is a sale contract where a capital provider buys an asset and then resells it to a customer at a predetermined price that includes a profit margin agreed upon upfront. It is a cost-plus financing method, meaning the profit is known and fixed at the time of the agreement, rather than being interest-based like in conventional finance.

Sukuk smart contracts are open to everyone including non-muslims and our philosophy of wealth building is on the basis of profit participation from revenue-generating businesses.
