GM!

What if you had the ability to both capitalize on and mitigate yield fluctuations? What if you could actively trade yields and employ hedging strategies to safeguard your portfolio?

Today, let us delve into @pendle_fi in redefining yield in #DeFi!

@pendle_fi @pendle_fi is a yield derivative protocol that operates in a decentralized manner, enabling users to employ various yield management strategies.

Pendle unlocks the potential to utilize advanced yield strategies:
🔹Fixed yield
🔹Long yield
🔹Liquidity provision

/5 Image
@pendle_fi Pendle utilizes a standardized API to wrap yield-bearing tokens in smart contracts, resulting in the creation of SY tokens.

These SY tokens enable effective yield management by distinguishing between the underlying principal (PT) and the asset's yield (YT)

/6 Image
@pendle_fi PT token represents the yield-bearing asset's value.

It aligns with the underlying asset upon redemption, establishing its Fixed Yield. At maturity, it can be exchanged for the underlying asset at a 1:1 ratio. PT token can be acquired at a discount due to isolation of yield.

/7 Image
@pendle_fi YT token represents the yield generated by a yield-bearing asset. Holding YT entitles users to receive the yield from the underlying asset.

Acquiring YT allows users to benefit from the asset's yield and earn profits when the received yield exceeds the cost of acquiring YT.

/8 Image
@pendle_fi Pendle v2 AMM simplifies yield trading.

The AMM curve adapts based on the accumulated yield and improves capital efficiency during PT's maturity.

Pendle's pseudo-AMM, allows PT and YT flash swaps within one pool This results in capital efficiency and minimal IL

/9 Image
@pendle_fi Pendle V2 AMM minimizes IL. The AMM curve adapts to align PT price with underlying value and reduce time-dependent IL.

The flexible AMM curve accommodates varying yield volatilities, enhancing liquidity and reducing slippage for large trade.

/10 Image
@pendle_fi Here is a concise overview of @pendle_fi tokenized yield product.

/11 Image
@pendle_fi Users are incentivized to lock $PENDLE tokens to acquire Vote-escrowed PENDLE ($vePENDLE).

$vePENDLE holders have the ability to vote on the distribution of rewards among various liquidity pools, rewards from protocol revenue and receive a share of swap fees.

/12 Image
@pendle_fi @LayerZero_Labs Certain protocols (e.g.: @magpiexyz_io / @Penpiexyz_io and @Equilibriafi) have endeavored to leverage the benefits of $vePENDLE rewards distribution.

Their objective is to build a governance aggregator layer on top of @pendle_fi, thereby augmenting the demand for $PENDLE.

/13 Image
@pendle_fi @LayerZero_Labs @magpiexyz_io @Penpiexyz_io @Equilibriafi As @ethereum transitions to PoS, the #LSD market has experienced significant growth.

@pendle_fi capitalizes on this development by providing a yield management solution that harnesses the yield generated from staking rewards or LP of LSD tokens (LST) on DEX platforms.

Disappointed with airdrops and points? Raise your hand!

Many of us feel duped by the paltry amounts we get after completing tons of tedious tasks.

But what if you could flip the script and profit?

You're in for a treat👇🏻 Image
►Points and Airdrop Meta is Here to Stay, But...

Points and airdrops have become the new norm.

They reward early adopters and drive platform growth by incentivizing key activities.

However, these points often leave stakeholders frustrated, impacting everyone from users to project developers.

Is there any better way to solve this?

Yes, it is. It's called points tokenization.Image
► Points Tokenization

Several solutions, such as points secondary markets, already exist, but they come with limitations:

- Platforms require extra collateral and cap buyer payouts.
- Fixed-rate protocols block point resales, creating liquidity headaches for sellers.
- Some markets restrict individual point trading, stifling user flexibility.

And @RumpelLabs' points tokenization sweeps these issues away for good.Image

Meet Eli, a native in the world of crypto and also working as digital nomad.
