Pendle Crypto Secures Investment from Binance Labs to Amplify DeFi Yield Avenues and Boost LSDfi Adoption

This investment underscores Binance Labs’ unwavering dedication to nurturing promising initiatives that are poised to shape the future of DeFi primitives. By partnering with Pendle Crypto, Binance Labs aims to expand the protocol’s influence across diverse blockchain ecosystems. This collaborative effort will extend inclusive access to DeFi yield prospects for both retail and institutional users.

In line with a core principle of inclusivity, Pendle Crypto has designed an array of features that introduce enhanced flexibility to yield management through an instinctive platform. A notable element of this initiative is the incorporation of fixed yield mechanisms, which have historically served as a foundation for institutional hedging strategies. These mechanisms are poised to hold a pivotal role in driving the project’s expansion, as they unlock pathways to more deterministic yields. This, in turn, empowers users to fine-tune their strategies with precision and optimize their yield-generating endeavors.

Enabling Accessible Yield Possibilities

Yi He, Co-Founder and head of Binance Labs, expressed, ‘Binance Labs is consistently in search of projects that are at the forefront of DeFi innovation, capable of broadening access to a wider audience. Pendle Finance’s strategic focus on multi-chain expansion and inventive yield strategies resonates with our vision for the future of DeFi. We eagerly anticipate collaborating closely with Pendle Crypto and supporting their endeavor to reshape the DeFi landscape into a more inclusive ecosystem.’

At present, Pendle Finance boasts support for 25 diverse pools that span three prominent blockchain networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain. It’s worth highlighting that a substantial portion of these pools are Liquid Staking Derivative (LSD) pools, which offer users innovative pathways to interact with staking rewards. With its sights set on further expansion across numerous ecosystems, Pendle Finance aspires to amplify its presence and spearhead the growth of the LSDfi economy through these concerted efforts.

Pendle Finance’s Co-Founder and CEO, TN, remarked, ‘Our mission at Pendle is to redefine the way users experience yield generation. Our partnership with Binance Labs brings an unprecedented wealth of expertise and resources that will accelerate our trajectory, ultimately enhancing the accessibility and usability of yield opportunities across a multitude of platforms. We embark on this joint journey with enthusiasm, propelling DeFi into a new era characterized by inclusivity and innovation.’

About Pendle Crypto

Pendle Crypto is an asset management protocol that empowers users to exert greater control over their yields through various strategies and unlocks the ability to speculate on yield fluctuations. It features yield tokenization, an Automated Market Maker (AMM), and vote-locked tokenomics as its key components. Pendle offers a plethora of features centered around yield volatility and how investors can capitalize on it. It represents a part of the emerging cluster of more sophisticated DeFi protocols that increasingly mirror niche elements of TradFi.

This protocol operates in a fixed-rate environment, allowing users to access more deterministic yields and enhancing investors’ capabilities for risk hedging and speculation. The protocol employs the SY (Standardized Yield) token standard. SY tokens are bundled coins consisting of two components: Base Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT), which can be utilized within the Pendle ecosystem.

Any yield-bearing asset can be wrapped into an SY token. This token standard furnishes a standardized API for these assets within smart contracts, enabling configurability across the broader DeFi landscape. Moreover, this standard, initially proposed by the Pendle team as ERC-5115 holds the potential to extend beyond the protocol’s confines.
