🧐 Sonic × Pendle: The best combination of high-yield, high leverage, and airdrop for DeFi players! Against the backdrop of the recent market downturn, Layer 1 has become the focus of capital pursuit—— @Under the strong combination of AndreCronjeTech @ endle_fi and Sonic @ SonicLabs, Sonic TVL has surpassed $800 million, This data has tripled in the past six weeks, making it one of the most favored public chains by funds currently. Obviously, after experiencing short-term PVP, the market is still returning to a track with fundamental support. At the same time, Pendle, as a revenue optimization tool for DeFi, also brings additional arbitrage opportunities to the Sonic ecosystem: through reasonable strategy combinations, users can achieve a combination of high returns, high leverage, and potential airdrops. The following is a Sonic revenue maximization strategy based on the Pendle platform, which interested players can refer to and execute after DYOR. one ️⃣ What is Sonic? Why do we need to fuck—— Sonic was developed by @ soniclabs, and its predecessor was the famous public chain Fantom. The project party raised 120 million US dollars in financing, Positioned as the fastest high-performance EVM Layer-1, with a throughput of 10000 TPS and instant finality. Unlike other public chains that chase Meme coins and AI agents, Sonic still adheres to the DeFi track and continues the hardcore style of Fantom founder Andre Cronje (AC). The on chain activity has exceeded that of some mainstream public chains. In addition, Sonic plans to issue 200 million S tokens as ecological incentives in June 2025. The airdrop window is only 3 months left, with a relatively short cycle, which is friendly to DeFi players and avoids the risk of long-term fund lock-in. two ️⃣ How to obtain Sonic airdrops—— There are 3 ways to earn points and receive airdrops: 1. Passive points - holding assets on the whitelist; 2. Activity Points (Point Points) - Deploy whitelist assets on the application; 3. Apply points (Gems) - participate in ecological projects and receive further distribution. Best strategy: By combining the Sonic ecosystem, earning profits, and earning Gems, the returns of S tokens and future ecosystem airdrops can be maximized. three ️⃣ Learn to amplify profits with Pendle—— In many previous tweets, I have mentioned that I really like @ pendle_fi. Pendle is a revenue optimization tool in the DeFi field, with two core advantages: Flexible revenue strategy: Users can freely choose between fixed income or high leverage strategies. Ultra high yield overlay: APY (annualized rate of return) can be increased through portfolio investment. In the Sonic ecosystem, Pendle also offers various ways to optimize revenue. Users can flexibly choose according to their own situation—— Principal Token (PT): Fixed income, purchasing PT is equivalent to locking in the current high interest rate, holding until maturity to receive risk-free returns. Liquidity Offering (LP): high APY+zero impermanent loss (IL), with almost no IL risk from holding to maturity, while enjoying multiple returns superposition. Revenue Token (YT): Ultra high leverage points and returns, allowing users to leverage points up to a hundred times at a very low cost. For those who are not yet familiar with Pendle, a DeFi tool, you can first take a look at the official beginner's guide in Chinese, which is written in detail: https://pendle.notion.site/Pendle-1b2567a21d3780168a83dc0028731413 four ️⃣ Sonic+Pendle High Yield Strategy | Ultimate Combination of Revenue and Airdrop—— 1) Basic gameplay: Suitable for DeFi beginners, lazy people, and low-risk enthusiasts. Sonic has 5 pools on Pendle, with PT yields ranging from 7% to 10%, fixed interest rates, and currency based breakeven without risk. Some pools can also earn additional Rings and Veda points. 2) Advanced gameplay: Suitable for DeFi veterans who are familiar with market fluctuations. a) Winning strategy: High APY stablecoin LP and aUSDC In the Pendle fund pool, with liquidity provided by Aave's aUSDC, LP APY can reach 23%, and Sonic points can be doubled by 20 times. b) Combining LP stkscUSD with Royco Deposit the LP stkscUSD purchased in Pendle into Royco and add another layer to earn an additional 1.43k Rings points and Royco exclusive Sonic gems, increasing airdrop rewards and bringing the overall APY close to 10%. Deposits can be withdrawn at any time, but early withdrawal may result in loss of incentives. c) Using PT stS+Silo Finance for circular arbitrage In Silo Finance, pledging PT stS assets for 10 times leverage, APY reaches 65%, and earning an additional 14 times Silo points. d) Use YT stkscUSD to achieve maximum point exposure For example, you can invest 1000u to purchase YT stkscUSD, which can earn 47 million Sonic points, 7.85 million Rings points, and 12.2 million Veda points before the 72 day expiration. The expected profit is about 1300u, with an APY of up to 150%. Due to the risk of depreciation of YT before expiration, this strategy is more suitable for users who are extremely bullish on Sonic points and gems. five ️⃣ Strategy Summary and Action Suggestions—— As the Sonic ecosystem grows, Pendle will continue to be the core tool for maximizing revenue. At present, the market underestimates the leverage potential of YT and the scarcity of Gems, and there may be an influx of funds in the coming weeks. Action suggestion: Short term players: Focus on YT strategy, quickly accumulate points and airdrop. Long term holders: Choose PT or low-risk LP to lock in fixed income steadily. Risk statement Attention should be paid to the APY fluctuations of underlying protocols. Understand the token unlocking cycle and holding cost. Summary—— Through the triple combination of Pendle and Sonic's "earnings+points+Gems", It can achieve the maximum utilization of capital efficiency and seize the opportunity in this airdrop feast. The above gameplay strategies are suitable for different groups of people. Please use DYOR before participating!
