# RUNEBond > RUNEBond is a RUNE yield platform on THORChain that connects bond providers (users) with node operators. Users delegate ("stake") RUNE to a node to earn real protocol yield; operators find reliable long-term bond capital. Delegation on THORChain is permissioned (Proof of Bond): an operator must whitelist a user before their bond is accepted. Key concepts: bonding/staking RUNE, THORChain node operators, bond providers, whitelisting, slashing risk, churn/unbonding windows, real yield vs inflationary rewards. The app lives at https://app.runebond.com. ## Main pages - [RUNE yield platform for THORChain bonding - RUNEBond](https://runebond.com/): RUNE yield platform overview: stake RUNE, earn APY, 3-step process, statistics. - [Institutional - RUNEBond](https://runebond.com/institutional/): White-glove advisory for institutions and high-net-worth individuals deploying 300,000+ RUNE into THORChain. - [Node Operator - RUNEBond](https://runebond.com/node-operator/): For THORChain node operators seeking seed bond providers to launch with meaningful backing. - [RUNE yield: guides and strategies to earn with THORChain - RUNEBond](https://runebond.com/blog/): Guides and strategies to earn yield with RUNE through THORChain staking and bonding. ## Documentation - [THORChain Slash Monitor](https://runebond.com/docs/thorchain-slash-monitor-track-node-slash-points-and-the-rune-rewards-they-cost/) - [Premium Node Positioning System (Node bidding)](https://runebond.com/docs/premium-node-positioning-system-node-bidding/) - [⚠️ My Requests](https://runebond.com/docs/my-requests/) - [THORChain node operator dashboard](https://runebond.com/docs/operator-dashboard/): THORChain node operator dashboard allows operators to manage and review whitelist bonding requests submitted by users who want to bond RUNE. - [RUNE bonding explained: risks, rewards, and how it works](https://runebond.com/docs/welcome/): This page explains how RUNE bonding or staking works, the role of bond providers and node operators, and the risks involved before using RUNEBond. - [RUNEBond on-chain architecture: transparency on THORChain](https://runebond.com/docs/how-does-it-work/): The RUNEBond on-chain architecture is fully based on THORChain transactions publicly verifiable on the blockchain. - [Staking on THORChain: risks, rewards, and how it works](https://runebond.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions-faqs/): Pooled bonding on THORChain allows users to delegate RUNE to existing node operators to earn yield without running a node themselves. - [Claim staked rewards early](https://runebond.com/docs/claim-your-fees-experimental/): “Claim your rewards” is a feature that lets bond providers claim bonded rewards before unbond, using a centralized liquidity mechanism. - [RUNEBond Finder Fee Vault: node operator fee model](https://runebond.com/docs/runebond-finder-fee-vault/): The RUNEBond Finder Fee Vault is a mechanism designed to align incentives between node operators and the platform. - [THORChain node profiles: build trust and manage bonding](https://runebond.com/docs/node-profiles-in-runebond/): THORChain node profiles allow node operators to configure a on-chain profile for each listed node, helping bond providers assess trust. - [THORChain node moderators: secure permission delegation](https://runebond.com/docs/node-moderators/): THORChain node moderators allow node operators to delegate, non-sensitive actions to trusted external addresses. - [RUNEBond notifications: email and Telegram for nodes and bond providers](https://runebond.com/docs/notifications-via-email-and-telegram/): RUNEBond notifications let you subscribe to specific node or bond provider addresses and receive alerts for churn, status changes, chat messages and more - [THORChain churn time estimate](https://runebond.com/docs/maximum-time-to-leave/): THORChain churn time estimate shows the maximum estimated time a node may remain in the active validator set before being rotated out. - [Hidden nodes on RUNEBond: visibility, risk, and network protection](https://runebond.com/docs/hidden-nodes/): Hidden nodes on RUNEBond are nodes whose visibility is intentionally reduced when they fail to meet minimum safety or reliability checks - [Yield Guard on THORChain: protecting from inefficient yield](https://runebond.com/docs/yield-guard-system/): Yield Guard on THORChain is a mechanism designed to protect bond providers from inefficient yield allocation - [THORChain on-chain chat: global node messaging](https://runebond.com/docs/on-chain-chat/): THORChain on-chain chat is a global messaging system where every message is recorded on the blockchain enabling transparent communication. - [THORChain bonding nodes: browse and request whitelist](https://runebond.com/docs/find-nodes/): Lists THORChain bonding nodes, allowing users to browse available node operators and request whitelisting to bond RUNE through RUNEBond. - [Request whitelist on THORChain](https://runebond.com/docs/how-to-request-whitelist-as-a-bond-provider-2/): Before you can bond RUNE, you must first request whitelist on THORChain.
