How to Buy Discounted Tokens on Debitum
Debitum lets you buy project tokens below market price with on-chain vesting. Here's exactly how to do it.
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Go to debitum.app and connect a wallet that holds Base network tokens. Debitum works with any wallet that supports Base — MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, and others.
Step 2: Browse the Marketplace
Open the Marketplace to see all active bonds. Each bond card shows:
- →Principal token — what you'll receive
- →Discount — how much below market price
- →Vesting type — how tokens unlock (Linear, Cliff, or Step)
- →Capacity remaining — how much is still available
Filter by status, vesting type, or sort by discount size to find bonds that match your strategy.
Step 3: Choose a Bond
Click on a bond card to open the bond detail page. You'll see:
- →The full token breakdown (payment token, principal token, decimals)
- →Vesting schedule visualization — a chart showing when tokens unlock
- →Purchase history — previous buyers and amounts
- →Min/max purchase limits
Step 4: Enter the Amount and Approve
Enter how many principal tokens you want to purchase. The interface will show you the exact amount of payment token required.
If you're paying with an ERC20 (e.g. USDC), you'll need to approve the bond contract to spend your tokens first. This is a one-time transaction per token per bond.
Step 5: Confirm the Purchase
After approval, confirm the Buy transaction. On success:
- →Your payment tokens are transferred to the bond contract
- →An NFT is minted to your wallet representing your vesting position
- →You can view it immediately in your Portfolio
Step 6: Claim Your Tokens
Once your vesting schedule starts unlocking, head to your Portfolio and open the position. You'll see:
- →Total Principal — total tokens you purchased
- →Already Claimed — what you've claimed so far
- →Claimable Now — what's currently available
Hit Claim to collect available tokens directly to your wallet.
Step 7: Transfer or Hold
Your position is an NFT. You can:
- →Hold it and claim tokens as they vest
- →Transfer it to another address (new owner gets remaining vesting rights)
- →Sell it on any NFT marketplace that supports Base
Tips for Buyers
- →Check the discount carefully — it's calculated against the bond's configured price, not always the live market price
- →Watch for Token Gate discounts — holding certain tokens can unlock extra discount tiers
- →Use the vesting chart on the position page to understand exactly when tokens become available
