Pendle AMM Design

Unlike standard AMMs, Pendle's is designed for yield trading:

• Accounts for PT approaching maturity
• Minimizes impermanent loss from time decay
• Optimized for PT/SY pair dynamics

Arbitrum Benefits

• Lower gas costs for deposits/withdrawals
• Faster transaction confirmations
• Same Pendle functionality as mainnet

Market Mechanics

As maturity approaches:

• PT price converges toward SY
• Trading activity may shift
• Pool dynamics change
