Solstice × Exponent × Loopscale Unlocking Liquidity & Capital Efficiency on Solana Here’s a simplified look at how the ecosystem is enabling more flexible capital deployment: 1️⃣ USX ONE Vault A risk-managed vault operated by third-party specialists. Deposited assets are supplied into Loopscale markets to generate borrower yield (~0.55% APY, variable). Users can withdraw instantly (with a small fee) or choose a queue option. 2️⃣ Loop PT-USX-01JUN26 Fixed yield exposure using PT tokens. • Base PT yield around ~6.7% APY • Up to 5× leverage via Loopscale (rates vary) • Automated borrowing and swapping for additional PT exposure • 1 PT = 1 USX at maturity, with optional early exit depending on market pricing Note: PT-USX-09FEB26 has matured positions may migrate to newer PT-USX or USDC markets. 3️⃣ Borrow Against ELP-USX LP tokens can be used as collateral to unlock liquidity while still earning LP fees. • Borrow USX (~3.5% APY, variable) • Advanced users may apply manual looping strategies. ⚠️ Risk Considerations Higher capital efficiency comes with trade offs: smart contract risk, liquidation risk, and changing liquidity or yield conditions. Understanding each layer of the stack is key before participating.

Understanding PT, YT & LP on Solstice via ExponentFinance Exponent introduces PT, YT, and LP DeFi derivatives split from eUSX/USX, giving users more flexibility & strategy options depending on their risk profile Each Exponent market has a fixed maturity date, at maturity: • PT redeems at full value • YT stops generating yield • All positions settle Let’s break it down 👇 1. Principal Tokens (PT): Fixed Yield PT allows you to lock in a fixed return by buying at a discount and redeeming at full value at maturity How it works: • Buy PT below 1 USX → redeem for 1 USX at maturity • The discount is your fixed yield, locked in upfront Trade off: • Don't receive Flares • Give up upside volatility for predictable returns Two types: • PT-USX → backed by USX (no base yield) • PT-eUSX → backed by eUSX (has yield) PT is designed for risk averse users: • Stablecoin APY often higher than average DeFi yields • Battle tested strategy through multiple market conditions 2. Yield Tokens (YT): Variable Yield & Airdrop Speculation YT represents ONLY future yield, not principal. At maturity, YT settles based on: How it works: • YT-eUSX → maximize yield generation (from Solstice strategies) & Flares points • YT-USX → maximize Flares only (airdrop speculation) Trade off: • If yield & flares > YT purchase price, you'll get profit. If not, you'll get loss • YT price decays over time. At maturity, YT = 0 (no future yield left) Market dynamics • Airdrop hype → YT price up → PT discounts deepen → fixed APY improves • Hype cools → PT discount narrows → fixed APY drops YT is designed for high risk users: • Users comfortable timing narratives & sentiment • Speculators chasing asymmetric upside 3. Liquidity Provider (LP): Neutral Exposure with Fees & Flares Instead of choosing PT or YT, you can provide liquidity to PT/YT markets How it works: • Deposit PT & underlying token (USX/ eUSX) • Earn trading fees & Flares Trade off: • More neutral than YT, potentially higher upside than PT • Watch out for impermanent loss (since PT & YT share the same underlying, price divergence is usually limited & often converges at maturity) LP sits nicely in the middle of the risk spectrum 4. Migration Bonus: don’t miss this Older maturities (USX 09FEB26, eUSX 11MAR26) are expiring. If you held positions there: → Migrate to the new 1JUN26 markets → Continue earning Flares Early YT & LP holders (pre Jan 28) get rewarded: Migrate before Feb 13 to secure 25% bonus Flares, which stacks on top of the 50% YT-USX boost. Double incentives, same deadline NFA. Flares are just points tied to a potential future Solstice airdrop nothing is guaranteed. Always DYOR and size your risk accordingly Link details: https://x.com/solsticefi/status/2019078532152836413
