Origin Protocol hosted a community call featuring Frax Finance to discuss **stable yield strategies** during market volatility.

**Pendle introduces liquid yield trading for stETH volatility** through ARM (Automated Risk Management) integration. **How ARM generates yield:** - Buys stETH at discount during volatility - Redeems back to ETH at 1:1 ratio via Lido - Captures spread as profit for depositors **Pendle splits ARM yield into tradeable tokens:** - **PT (Principal Tokens):** Steady ETH exposure + fixed yield - **YT (Yield Tokens):** Leveraged upside to ARM yields This creates the **first direct way to trade stETH volatility** on Pendle. Higher stETH price swings = more arbitrage opportunities = increased yields for ARM depositors. Traders can now: - Speculate on stETH volatility through YT - Lock in fixed yields from ARM via PT - Provide liquidity to earn trading fees The ARM vault combines Lido stETH arbitrage with lending yield on idle ETH via Morpho, creating a unique yield source tied to protocol-driven arbitrage.
