Yield isn't just about emissions—it's about time.

Traditional DeFi yields feel slippery. They shift constantly, create noise in your returns, and resist any real control. You're basically gambling on farming incentives that could dry up tomorrow.

Pendle changes the game by restructuring yield into time-bound assets. The protocol splits positions into two parts:

**PT (Principal Token)** captures the underlying asset value.
**YT (Yield Token)** isolates and captures the yield stream.

This separation unlocks three game-changers:

• Lock in fixed rates—no more floating uncertainty
• Give yield streams actual maturity dates—like bonds, but on-chain
• Price duration risk explicitly—manage it like any tradeable asset

Now yield becomes something you can buy, sell, and hedge. It becomes structural, predictable, and financialized. That's the upgrade DeFi yield desperately needed.
