Presently, Pendle Finance supports 25 different pools spanning three prominent blockchain networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain.
Notably, a significant portion of these pools are Liquid Staking Derivative (LSD) pools that offer users novel ways to engage with staking rewards.
Pendle Finance aims to further expand its presence across numerous ecosystems, growing and leading the LSDfi economy with these efforts.
“We at Pendle are on a mission to redefine how yield generation is experienced by users. Our collaboration with Binance Labs brings unparalleled expertise and resources that will catalyze our growth, ultimately driving accessibility and usability of yield opportunities across numerous venues,
“We are excited to embark on this journey together, propelling DeFi into a new era of inclusivity and innovation,” said TN, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pendle Finance.
