LP

Liquidity Position

LP positions provide liquidity to the PT/SY AMM. You earn a share of trading fees from volume, while carrying price and inventory risk on the pool.

What is an LP position?

Providing liquidity pairs SY and PT in the on-chain AMM so other users can swap between fixed and floating yield. In return, LPs collect a share of every swap fee. Some markets also attach point or coin rewards to LP exposure to reward depth.

Economic model

LP returns are a tug-of-war between fees (which always add) and impermanent loss (which grows as the PT price drifts from where you entered). The chart shows LP value versus simply holding: the concave curve is IL, and fee income lifts the whole curve up. Net return is positive wherever fees outweigh IL.

Concentrated near par
Because PT trends predictably toward par, the PT/SY price tends to move within a narrow band. That keeps impermanent loss smaller than in a typical volatile-asset pool - but it is never zero.

Key properties

  • LPs earn a share of PT/SY swap fees proportional to their liquidity.
  • Impermanent loss grows with how far the PT price moves while you provide.
  • Markets can boost LP with a higher points multiplier, e.g. 1.2×.
  • Keep YT mode lets you add liquidity from a single asset and keep the new YT.
