what's pendle?

Pendle is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that enables the tokenization and trading of future yields from yield-bearing assets, primarily on Ethereum and other compatible chains. Its core mechanism involves splitting yield-bearing tokens into Principal Tokens (PT), which represent the principal amount redeemable at maturity, and Yield Tokens (YT), which capture the variable yield, allowing users to fix yields, speculate on yield movements, or provide liquidity in automated market makers. Key features include fixed yield strategies for risk-averse users, leveraged exposure to yields for traders, and integration with protocols like Aave, Ethena Labs, and Plasma for enhanced markets such as USDe and USDai pools. Pendle supports yield farming with boosted rewards, including PENDLE emissions, vePENDLE multipliers, and external incentives like XPL from Plasma integrations. The platform has grown significantly, achieving billions in total value locked (TVL) through innovations like PT collateralization and expansions into stablecoin yield markets offering APYs up to 60% or more.
