Yala & Pendle: Unlocking Yield Innovation with $YU
Yala’s DeFi Marketplace is your all-in-one hub to earn real yield and stack Berries across top-tier DeFi protocols – all through a single, seamless interface.
Now, with the integration of Pendle – Ethereum’s premier yield trading platform – holders of $YU, Yala’s BTC-backed liquidity asset, can access a new level of earning potential: unlock advanced yield strategies, earn native Pendle incentive, and multiply rewards through Yala’s signature Berry system.
What Is Pendle and How Does It Work?
Pendle is a DeFi protocol on Ethereum that enables users to unlock new yield opportunities by separating and trading the future yield of tokenized assets. Its core innovation lies in yield tokenization – allowing users to create fixed yield, leveraged yield, and other advanced strategies that go beyond traditional DeFi.
When users deposit a yield-bearing asset (such as stETH) into Pendle, the asset is split into two tradable tokens:
To support these unique assets, Pendle has developed a custom AMM (Automated Market Maker) optimized for time-decaying assets, ensuring efficient trading of PT and YT even as they approach maturity.
For liquidity providers, Pendle offers:
- Swap fees from its AMM
- Protocol incentives in $PENDLE
- Exposure to advanced strategies like fixed-income positioning, yield hedging, and basis arbitrage
Put simply: Pendle lets you split, trade, and build with your yield – turning future income into something you can actually use today.

Yala is a native Bitcoin liquidity protocol that channels BTC into yield opportunities across DeFi and RWAs.
Bitcoin holders unlock capital through self-custodial, liquidation-free borrowing by minting $YU, a BTC-backed liquidity asset. In this process, they pay a stability fee directly to $YU depositors, effectively exchanging BTC-backed exposure for portable, capital-efficient liquidity and access to yield without giving up ownership.
Yala’s SmartVault module manages system risk and ensures efficient yield distribution.
