Danogo

a Decentralized Exchange on CARDANO

Where users can list & trade Bonds permissionlessly without relying on any centralised party. 
Currently, Danogo only supports Optim Bond Token issued by https://app.optim.finance/ but will support new Bonds as the Cardano Defi market evolves.

Why should I try out Danogo?

Currently Optim Bond Holders must wait till maturity to receive ADA back, so Danogo will help improve liquidity for Bond Holders.
If you have Ada but do not want to be locked up for 1 full year, you can buy Optim Bond via Danogo and choose the duration suitable instead

Why another DeX?

Cardano already has a few DeX, but none of them is suitable for Bonds because the price of Bonds changes EVERY DAY as the Bonds accrue interest when they get nearer to the maturity date. Hence Danogo calculates dynamic Bond prices based on Yield & time to maturity rather than fixed spot prices like other DeX. Thus users will trade Bonds based on Yield & Maturity rather than spot price.

I have Optim Bond Token, how do I sell?

  1. Connect your wallet

  2. Click on your profile icon to view the list of your Bond holdings

  3. Click List next to the Bond you want to sell

    - Set the interest rate (yield) you want to sell in percentage (ex: 5.33%)

    - Set amount you want to sell

    Note: If you experience it on the testnet, here is the link to Optim Bond, and this is the ADA faucet link in the preview.

Danogo will automatically calculate Bond price daily, so sellers & buyers do not have to keep updating their listings' prices. Danogo will prioritize the display of Bond sales with the highest offered interest rate first, so sellers should try to offer the HIGHEST interest rate they are willing to sell their Bonds.

When will I receive the Ada?

When a buyer buys your Bond, ADA will be transferred to your wallet immediately.

Can I change the listing order?

You can also update, cancel your Bond listing anytime!

I want to buy Optim Bond with short duration!

You can see available Bond listings and click on any available listing to buy. Simply enter the amount of Bond Tokens you want to buy, and we will show you the current price in Ada, so you don't have to worry about all the interest accrued calculation.

If the Bond duration you want is not currently listed, you can create a new Bid

- Choose your desired duration range

- Enter you desired Yield rate

- Enter the amount of Bond Tokens you want to buy
- We will calculate the Ada deposit amount for you
- Danogo will prioritize bids with the LOWEST interest rate for sellers to see. As a bidder, you should enter the lowest rate you are willing to buy the Bond at.
- When a seller agrees to sell you the Bond at your requested Yield, the Bond will be transferred to your wallet automatically, and any leftover deposit if there is any.

How is Bond price calculated?

Bond price is based on Yield and time to maturity. (note this is the agreed Transacting Yield between buyer & seller, NOT the actual Bond Yield which was fixed at the point of Bond Issuance)

Price = ADA received maturity/(1+ Transacting Yield/365 * days to Maturity)

Where
ADA received maturity = 100 (1 + Optim Bond Yield 5 72 / 365) this is set by Optim!
Each Optim Bond nominal value is 100 Ada
Note that we charge buyer & seller 1% fee of the INTEREST amount, not the full nominal amount! If you are transacting 10 Optim Bond (1000 Ada nominal amount) with yield 5%, then our fee is 1% * (10
* 100 * 5%) = 0.5 ADA

How does Danogo protect my privacy?

We do not collect any information from user wallet, all transaction calculations are done on your computer then submit on Chain. We may collect anonymous ux data to log user error messages to help us improve Danogo user experience.
