# Bonds

**Summary**\
Like [Card Lending](/echelon-prime-foundation/3.0-prime-sinks/3.2-upcoming-sinks/card-lending.md), but private and customizable, Bonds are a platform for collective player economies. 

Bond members can lend NFT cards to other members of their Bond. Borrowing within a Bond is free. You 'pay' for borrowed cards through a rake on [gameplay](/echelon-prime-foundation/2.0-prime-token/2.1-gameplay.md) emissions. Rake percentages are set by Bond administrators, and can be changed. Memberships are exclusive - you cannot be in more than one Bond at a time.\
\
Better players may find themselves in Bonds with lower rakes. After all, if borrowers win more often, lenders can take a smaller percentage for each win. The Bond system sinks PRIME in a few ways— upfront creation fees, ongoing maintenance fees, and a portion of rakes.\
\
**Cost**\
TBD.\

**Percent to** [**Sink Schedule**](/echelon-prime-foundation/2.0-prime-token/2.2-sink-distributions.md)\
TBD.
