Pendle's new product Boros, which took nearly two years to refine, finally launched yesterday. Twitter was buzzing, and TG messages were overflowing. Grandma knows that the community members have been waiting for a long time, and she is incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm of the DeFi community. Yesterday, some friends asked Grandma some questions about Boros PMF, so here’s a summary to share with everyone (Chinese is not my first language, please be kind to Grandma ❤️): The user profile of Boros is more diverse compared to Pendle V2, and the operation and structure of Boros are simpler and easier to understand. From a macro perspective, Boros can cover both DeFi and CeFi players, providing a new trading method for both sides while simultaneously unlocking funding rates as a new stable and reliable source of income. In addition to opening positions on Boros, users can also open positions on exchanges to implement more advanced composite strategies. 💡 Why are funding rates a high-quality and reliable source of income? 📍 No need for "narratives," no need to worry about TGE, no need to calculate points, it's straightforward and simple. There is no dependency on the platform or a single party, and it has good sustainability. 📍 Suitable for various capital sizes, whether small retail investors or large whales, everyone can find a way to participate that suits them. 📍 You can go long on bullish positions and short on bearish positions, with no absolute dependency on market sentiment; it works for both bull and bear markets, allowing for flexible strategy adjustments. 📍 Funding rates are usually updated every 8 hours, and they are publicly transparent parameters on major exchanges, monitored in real-time, fair and reliable. 💡 For professional traders and institutions: Derivatives issuers, especially those at the short end, typically hedge their positions by going long on perpetual contracts. For example, options sellers will hedge on the long side of perpetual contracts, and these positions need to pay funding rates. Boros can help them hedge these funding rate payments. Many funds hold long positions on perpetual contracts for a longer term, and these positions also face funding rates. These are usually hedged elsewhere through OTC or brokers, which is clearly less efficient. Regarding projects like Ethena / Resolv and basis trading, Boros aims to provide them with an additional, more efficient, and reliable operational pathway to hedge their basis trading positions when needed. They are all actively testing Boros and adapting mechanisms that can be implemented in their protocols. Currently, due to the extremely strict risk control measures for the new product launch, there is a very low OI cap. As the OI cap increases and liquidity improves, more large funds will enter the market. For example, when perpetual contracts were first launched, funding rates weren't even a concept; they were just a tool for the operation of perpetual contracts. But now, they have become a source of income for many funds and basis trading positions. Therefore, from various DeFi and CeFi retail players to institutions holding different strategies, and to protocols with related needs, Boros will definitely become an important tool, laying a solid foundation for future rates beyond funding rates, and even for off-chain yield trading pairs. 💡 The data from Boros's first 24 hours is also impressive, having already surpassed: • $15 million in open contracts (increased from the initial $10 million) • $36 million in nominal trading volume • The LP vaults for BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT have been completely filled Everything is running smoothly, and the risk control team will gradually consider increasing the limits. There’s really so much to discuss about Boros, Grandma looks forward to the community members wishing each other prosperity and sharing more! 🔥 We also have a dedicated channel for Boros discussions in Pendle's Chinese community: 📍 Telegram group address: @PendleFinance_CN
