YT

Yield Token (YT) represents the yield component of an underlying yield-bearing asset.

YT entitles you to all the yield generated by the underlying yield-bearing token in real-time, and the yield accrued can be manually claimed at any time from the Splice Dashboard.

If you own 1 YT-stETH and stETH has an average yield of 5% through the year, you will have accrued 0.05 stETH by the end of the year.

YT is tradeable anytime, even before maturity.

YT ~ Yield Token

Yield Token (YT) represents the yield component of an underlying yield-bearing asset.

By holding YT, yield from the underlying asset will be streamed to the users, up until maturity. This rate of yield production is represented as “Underlying APY” in the Splice app.

For example, buying 10 YT-stETH and holding them for 5 days lets you receive all of the yield equivalent to a 10 ETH deposit on Lido within the same period of time.

The value of YT trends towards $0 as it approaches maturity (ceteris paribus), becoming $0 upon maturity. Users profit when the total yield collected up to that point ends up being higher than the cost of YT acquisition.

You can think of Implied APY as the “rate” at which YT is priced by the market. If the average Underlying APY ends up being higher than the “rate” or Implied APY that you paid for, you will profit.

As such, buying YT can be treated as “longing the yield” of an asset.

Note: YT yields are distributed as SY, which can be unwrapped back into the underlying asset using SY Unwrapper.

Claiming YT Yield

You can claim any earned YT (and LP) yield and rewards from the Splice Dashboard anytime, even before maturity.

Since YT = $0 upon maturity, no further action (aside from claiming yield) is required.Points Leverage

Yield Token (YT) represents the yield and points component of an underlying yield/points-bearing asset. By holding YT, users are entitled to receive the yield and points for the underlying asset.
