Key benefits
The concrete advantages of using Spield — predictable returns, leveraged yield, fee income, and verifiable safety.
Here's what Spield actually gives you, grouped by what you might want.
For savers: certainty
Lock a fixed return
Choose a guaranteed APY for a set term. Once you deposit, your return is fixed — it doesn't move with the market.
No liquidation risk
PT is a bond, not a leveraged position. There's nothing to get liquidated; held to maturity it returns principal plus the locked yield.
For traders: leverage and views
Leveraged yield exposure
YT lets a small amount of capital capture the yield of a much larger position. If yields beat the implied rate, YT captures the upside.
Express a rate view
Buy YT if you think yield will rise; buy PT (lock a fixed rate) if you think it'll fall. Two clean instruments, one market.
For liquidity providers: income
Earn swap fees
Provide PT + USDC to the market and collect a fee on every trade that flows through the pool.
Near-zero IL at maturity
The market's time-decay design means PT drifts to par and YT to zero predictably — so an LP who holds to maturity faces minimal impermanent loss.
For everyone: trust you can verify
Solvent by construction
Backing is a real, growing on-chain position. The protocol can always pay every PT holder principal and every YT holder yield.
Live solvency proof
A public solvency view shows, on-chain and in real time, that backing covers everything owed. You don't have to take anyone's word for it.
Stellar-native, bridge-free core
No wrapped assets, no relayers in the value path — an entire class of cross-chain risk simply isn't present.
