@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

@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
@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
@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.
@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.
@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👇🏻
►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.
► 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.
Meet Eli, a native in the world of crypto and also working as digital nomad.
And he has one big problem: he can't spend his magic internet money in real life.
So, what's the solution?
(Spoiler: Massive perks and incentives await)
Let's dive in to find out 🧵
1/ Beyond philosophical reasons, tangible hurdles keep crypto users steering clear of traditional finance:
- Security and privacy concerns
- Asset control and custody
- Crypto-to-fiat conversion friction and restrictions
- Excessive fees and delays
- Limited global reach
These issues are prompting Eli and countless others to rethink cashing out their crypto for everyday use.
2/ Now, imagine spending your crypto in the real world just like cash.
@Godefi_me makes it happen:
✦ A non-custodial, worldwide debit card
✦ Seamlessly connects to your crypto wallet (starting with @solana, more chains to come)
✦ In partnership with @Mastercard, shop with 3 million+ merchants across the globe
✦ Works with mobile pay options like Apple Pay and Google Pay
✦ Earn direct rewards when using the card
