About PENDLE
PENDLE is the governance and utility token of Pendle Finance, a DeFi protocol that lets users tokenize and trade future yield. Built on Ethereum, Pendle allows users to wrap yield-bearing assets into standardized tokens (SY), which are then split into two tradable components: PT (Principal Token) and YT (Yield Token).
These tokens can be traded independently on Pendle’s custom AMM, unlocking strategies like fixed income, upfront yield, or yield speculation; all without exiting the original position.
While PENDLE is not required to use the protocol, it plays a key role in governance, directing incentives, and accessing protocol fees, via vePENDLE (the vote-escrowed version of the token).
FAQ
1. What is PENDLE used for?
- Governance: PENDLE holders can vote on key decisions, including which markets are listed.
- Lock: Locking PENDLE grants users vePENDLE, a non-transferable token that provides voting power and access to protocol fees and incentives.
Incentives: vePENDLE holders influence how emissions are distributed across Pendle markets.Tokenized yield: Pendle transforms
2. How does Pendle Finance work?
Pendle allows users to interact with yield-bearing assets more flexibly:
- A user deposits a yield-bearing asset like stETH in Pendle Finance.
- Pendle wraps it into a standardized token (SY), and then splits it into two tokens: PT (Principal) and YT (Yield).
- These tokens can be traded, staked, or held until the fixed dates when these tokens expire and can be redeemed (maturity).
Example: Luis holds aUSDC but wants upfront yield. He uses Pendle Finance to split aUSDC into PT and YT. He sells his YT to receive early yield and holds his PT until maturity to redeem the full aUSDC amount combining liquidity with strategic yield control.
