4\. If this is your first $BOTTO bond purchase, you will need to sign a transaction to approve the bond contract (this has a small gas fee). **The approval step is only necessary when you purchase a bond for the first time.**

5\. After approving the contract, enter the amount of LP shares you would like to exchange. You will see a corresponding amount of $BOTTO displayed in the "You Will Get" field.

6\. Click **Bond** and sign the transaction on MetaMask. Each time you bond requires a gas fee.

Bonds vest over a period of 7 days, releasing $BOTTO to you as they mature at a discounted rate. Read the next section for a guide on how to claim your rewards.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Multiple Bond Purchase**

If your bond is still vesting, buying another $BOTTO bond **will reset the vesting period**. This means any unclaimed rewards from the previous bond, vested or otherwise, will start vesting from period 0 again.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The "Approve" transaction is only necessary when you purchase a bond for the first time. Future purchases of $BOTTO bonds will only require the "Bond" transaction.
