Pendle has launched Boros on Arbitrum, introducing the first on-chain market for trading funding rates.​ The platform uses Yield Units (YUs) to represent funding yields from BTC and ETH perpetual markets on Binance.​

Key features:

  • Permissionless markets with 1.​2x leverage cap
  • $10M initial OI limit per market
  • Settlement at maturity
  • LPs earn Pendle incentives and fees

The platform enables traders and protocols to hedge funding rate exposure, similar to TradFi credit swaps.​ While primarily targeting institutional users, Boros plans to expand to more assets, exchanges, and potentially real-world assets.​

Current limitations:

  • Only on Arbitrum
  • Limited to BTC/ETH on Binance
  • Liquidity challenges expected
