Points trading on Pendle works the same way as yield-trading where:
YT buyers receive underlying floating yields and points
PT buyers receive a fixed yield in exchange for foregoing all floating yields and points
Liquidity Providers receive additional yields from swap fees and Pendle incentives while retaining points exposure (with zero price impact enabled)
Where to buy YT:
Each YT lets you receive the yield and points of 1 unit of the underlying asset until maturity. (1 ETH, 1 USDC, etc)
YT is worth ZERO at maturity as it no longer generates any yield and points.
In the image above, 1 ETH enables you to purchase 13.2 YT. In other words, you’re using 1 ETH to purchase 13.2 ETH worth of ezETH yield and points until maturity.
Note that positions on Pendle are not locked and you can sell YT anytime at market rate. Click on the arrows below the input box to switch the input and output assets.
Each PT will be redeemable for 1 unit worth of the underlying asset deposited into the underlying protocol at maturity (e.g. 1 ETH worth of ezETH, 1 USDe worth of sUSDe, 1 DAI worth of sDAI, etc).
Since PT holders forego all its underlying yields and points to its YT counterpart, PT’s value trades at a discount. At maturity when YT stops accruing yields and points, PT is made whole again, redeemable for the full value of its underlying (1 ETH, 1 USD, etc).
In the image above, 1 ETH enables you to purchase 1.15 PT. In other words, you’re foregoing points for a guaranteed 11.5% return until maturity. At the time of writing, that translates to ~30% APY.

Liquidity Providers on Pendle retain all points exposure while earning additional yield from Pendle.
Turn on Zero price impact mode to retain the majority of your points exposure.
LP position on Pendle consists of PT and a wrapped version of its underlying, e.g. PT-eETH/SY-eETH, PT-USDe/SY-USDe (SY is simply a wrapped version of its underlying to be compatible with Pendle's architecture).
If Zero Price Impact mode is turned off, your YT position will be sold for a bigger LP position (hence incurring some price impact). This gives more yield but sacrifices points as the PTs in the LP position do not earn points.
To retain most of your points exposure, toggle Zero Price Impact Mode to retain your YT position. While YT goes to zero at maturity, its value is offset by PT’s price gain inside the LP position. Note that points are affected by vePENDLE boosts too (i.e. Those that are unboosted might earn slightly less than those that are max boosted).
In conclusion: LPs on Pendle retain all yield exposure and points while earning additional yields from swap fees and $PENDLE incentives.
For maximum yield and points, boost your yields by locking vePENDLE or use liquid lockers such as Penpie and Equilibria.
Some assets on Pendle earn higher points than simply holding the underlying asset. This multiplier is given by the underlying protocol and is subject to change at any given notice.
Holding naked SYs (i.e. SYs that are not in LP) DO NOT earn any Sats. This is to discourage users from simply holding SY without providing any utility while negatively contributing towards the cap. SY in LP positions and YT will continue to earn Sats as per their multipliers.
The point multipliers are given by the respective protocols. Disputes should be forwarded to the respective teams, not Pendle.
In the image above, 1 ETH enables you to purchase 9.3 ETH exposure of yields and points. Coupled with a 2x rsETH multiplier, 1 ETH purchases:
9.35x EigenLayer points
18.7x Kelp Miles
Yield from 9.35 rsETH
