Pendle Protected Yield Vault

Overview

The Pendle Protected Yield Vault is a yield-generating investment strategy designed for investors seeking protection from fluctuations in the price of ETH. By depositing PT tokens and stablecoins, users can earn fixed yields and funding fees while minimizing exposure to ETH volatility. This approach is ideal for yield-seeking investors who want to grow their portfolio while managing risks associated with cryptocurrency price changes.

Mechanism

The Pendle Protected Yield Vault functions as follows:

  1. Deposits:

• Users deposit PT tokens and stablecoins (USDC) into the vault.

  1. Collateralization:

• The stablecoins are transferred to Hyperliquid, where they serve as collateral for opening a short position.

• A 1x short position is created to hedge against ETH price exposure.

  1. Risk Management:

• As the price of ETH fluctuates, the Harmonix risk management system rebalances the position to prevent liquidation of the short.

  1. Withdrawals:

• Users can initiate withdrawals at any time. When a withdrawal request is made, the system closes the short position, removing the hedge, and returns the remaining assets to the user (both PT tokens and stablecoins).

Dual-Asset Strategy: By combining PT tokens with stablecoins, the vault provides both yield potential and stability, ensuring a balanced approach to portfolio growth.

Fixed Yield Component: PT tokens offer predictable fixed yields, giving investors confidence in consistent returns even in volatile markets.

Risk Mitigation: The vault's hedging strategies protect against ETH price volatility.

Diversified Yield Sources: The vault leverages diverse yield sources, including funding fees and PT token yields, to boost returns while preserving stability.

Automated Management: It is fully automated, saving investors the time and effort needed to manage complex DeFi strategies manually.

Accessibility: Simplifing advanced DeFi strategies, making them accessible to both new and experienced crypto investors without requiring extensive technical expertise.
