kaito + pendle a sleep-easy strategy that still pays like you grind
i like simple stacks that survive any market. this is one of them
what kaito really is:
@KaitoAI is not “just another info bot”. it is the feed that funds and analysts inside the space already use. their pro layer scrapes everything worth reading, tags sentiment, removes noise. that demand is sticky and it funnels value back to the token.
a month ago they shipped $sKAITO a staked wrapper that currently yields ~9 percent in more $KAITO and gets extra partner drops on top. nothing you need to manage. deposit, forget
why pendle makes it better
@pendle_fi lets you split any yield token into two halves:
pt = the principal that always comes back at expiry
yt = the future yield stream you can cash-out today
sell the yt, keep the pt, wait 40 days, unwrap back to sKAITO. you have fixed the next 40 days of yield up front, no price risk
1. walk-through
> buy kaito → stake for sKAITO
> go to pendle, mint pt + yt
> market-sell the yt, pocket the cash (your “yield” in advance)
> hedge the underlying by shorting kaito 1x on an exchange with cheap f> > unding (bybit is still ~0.4 percent / month)
> hold the pt until expiry → auto converts to sKAITO again
2. numbers right now
sell side of yt values future yield around 40-50 percent apy
funding to hedge costs about 5 percent annualized
net after hedge ≈ 20-25 percent apy, or ~5 percent in 40 days
capital stays delta-neutral and fully liquid
size is not a problem. the sKAITO pool on pendle has deep two-sided liquidity so even five-figure trades slip less than 0.2 percent
3. why this matters
stable predictable farming beats gambling on meme rotations
a token backed by paying customers plus a transparent yield curve is the opposite of “greater fool”
/ less twitter drama, more compounding
and if you like to squeeze a bit more: recycle the cash from the sold yt back into pt, repeat the hedge, and push effective apy higher. just remember every extra turn also scales risk.
bonus: @backpack season 2 quietly started and you can park idle stables there for extra points while you run the hedge
nothing wrong with stacking some side quests while the main engine prints
takeaways
• yield you control is better than price you pray for
• pendle lets you lock that yield the second you enter
• kaito keeps adding utility so the risk side stays small
if you try it and get lost in pt and yt jargon drop a reply
happy to point you to a deeper guide or spreadsheets i use for sizing
