You’ve probably come across PTs and YTs when people talk about @pendle_fi
.
Here’s what you need to know👇
Pendle takes any yield-bearing asset and slices it into two separate tokens:
PT (Principal Token) – the “body” of the asset. It earns no yield and can be redeemed 1-for-1 for the original asset on a fixed maturity date.
YT (Yield Token) – the “income” stream. It receives every bit of variable yield produced until that same date.
Why is this useful?
A PT behaves like a blockchain version of a zero-coupon bond: the discount you pay today closes to 1 at maturity, locking in a fixed return and giving you predictable cash-flows.
That makes PTs handy for fixed-rate income, stable collateral, and advanced yield-loop strategies; while YTs let others bet on the upside (or downside) of variable yields.(Sentora (previously IntoTheBlock))
