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.
SparkLend is MakerDAO’s permissionless lending front‑end that pipes DAI liquidity directly from the Maker core vault into isolated lending markets. Because the backend uses D3M credit lines, borrowers enjoy below‑market rates that float with the DAI Savings Rate. Since launch on Ethereum mainnet in May 2023 Spark TVL has oscillated between 300‑600 million DAI and is governed by MKR Executive Votes.
