Abstract

To address the issues of the bond market’s low transparency, information disclosure efficiency, and rating’s ability to reveal risks, this paper proposes a blockchain-based bond primary market issuance service system, for companies to issue bonds efficiently at low cost. This paper presents the architecture design of the next-generation decentralised bond issuance service system. In addition, this paper also presents a new bond issuance bidding mechanism. Through the two-dimensional auction, the collusion between bond issuers has significantly been reduced, and the hidden danger of market manipulation has been eliminated. A prototype system was built on Hyperledger for proof of concept and performance evaluation.
