Ether.fi offers non‑custodial liquid staking where users mint eETH while retaining full control of validator withdrawal credentials via a smart‑contract escrow. Validators are run by a professional operator marketplace, and any user can migrate their keys or exit to the beacon chain 1:1. Launched in March 2023, ether.fi holds over 800 k ETH and shares validator bribe rewards with stakers through the ETHfi governance token.
Pendle splits yield‑bearing tokens into Principal (PT) and Yield (YT) tokens, enabling users to lock in fixed rates or speculate on future yield. A permissionless AMM with a custom logit bonding curve lets YT premiums track forward‑looking yield expectations. Pendle TVL grew 10× in 2024 on the back of LST and RWA integrations, and PENDLE governance now controls a large veToken bribe market.
