Custodial bonding explained

Short answer. In custodial bonding, a licensed institutional custodian or liquidity partner posts the JIL.ai performance bond into the Tier 1 Capacity Vault for an enterprise tenant. The tenant pays the custodian a recurring fiat or stablecoin fee and receives a delegated Block Space Allocation Key. The tenant does not hold or own JIL.ai.

Why it exists

Many enterprises, banks and ministries cannot hold a volatile digital asset on their books. They still need reserved capacity. Custodial bonding separates the two: the custodian holds and posts the JIL.ai, and the tenant buys a service.

How it works

  1. The custodian posts the bond for the car or cars into the Tier 1 Capacity Vault.
  2. The custodian delegates a Block Space Allocation Key to the tenant's domain.
  3. The tenant pays the custodian a recurring fee in fiat or stablecoin.
  4. Chartered, non-commercial transfers inside the tenant's domain pass at 0 basis points under that key.
  5. Transfers that leave the domain pay the corridor toll, as for any holder.

What the tenant does not do

The tenant never takes custody of JIL.ai, never owns it, and does not mark it to market. The custodian is the bond holder and carries its own obligations, including the same KYC or KYB and sanctions screens.

Status

The founder adopted this model on 2026-11-10. It is designed, counsel has not yet reviewed it, and no custodian is licensed for it today. No JIL.ai sale is open and no purchases are being accepted. JIL.ai tokens have already been given to participants. No license, registration or regulatory approval is claimed or held for JIL.ai, and nothing here is investment, legal, or tax advice.

Key takeaways
  • A custodian bonds the JIL.ai. The tenant pays a fiat or stablecoin fee.
  • The tenant receives a delegated allocation key for 0 basis point transit inside its own domain.
  • The tenant does not hold or own JIL.ai.
  • The model is designed and awaits counsel review.
