money-bill-trend-upPT/YTs, but for Perps

Spreads’ first product merges three of the most successful ideas in modern on-chain finance—the delta-neutral basis trade popularized by Ethena, the explosive growth of points farming on emerging perp venues, and the PT/YT payoff separation pioneered by Pendle. The purpose is to give users passive access to either premium-like stable yield or high-velocity points exposure through distinguished vaults

At a high level, the strategy works as follows:

  • Spreads deploys capital into delta-neutral positions across new, pre-token perp markets. These positions naturally generate funding-rate carry and staking yield from the upside leg, while also accumulating point rewards issued by the underlying venues.

  • All funding, yield, and points are aggregated at the protocol level, then distributed to users depending on the payoff profile they select.

  • Users seeking pure airdrop and points exposure can opt into the Perpetual Airdrop Vault, while users looking for a more predictable premium yield can allocate to the Yield Vault backed by basis carry.

The protocol continuously maintains these delta-neutral and farming trades, rotating into new markets as opportunities emerge to maximize both the carry and the points flow. Meanwhile, custody and execution are handled through MPCvaultarrow-up-right, operated by the Spreads core team, ensuring institutional-grade controls without fragmenting trust across multiple actors.

The result is a single unified product: a systematic, structured yield engine that captures the economics of perps markets, airdrop incentives, and PT/YT decomposition—abstracted into a clean user experience.
