Quick Start
Start using Yield Forge in a few minutes.
This guide walks you through the basics: depositing liquidity, earning yield, and exiting your position.
What You Need
- A Web3 wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet)
- Tokens on a supported network (Ethereum or Arbitrum)
Step 1: Deposit Liquidity
This is how you enter a position. You provide tokens, and the protocol gives you PT + YT.
- Open the Pools page
- Pick a pool that matches your tokens (e.g., WBTC/USDT on Uniswap V4)
- Click Add Liquidity and enter your amount
- Approve the tokens if it's your first time, then confirm the transaction
You'll receive:
- PT — represents your deposited capital
- YT — represents the right to earn yield from that position
Step 2: Choose Your Strategy
Now you have options:
- Hold both — standard yield farming. YT earns fees, PT is redeemable at maturity
- Sell PT on the market — cash out your principal and keep the yield exposure (leveraged)
- Add PT to the secondary market — earn extra trading fees as an LP
- Sell YT — lock in your yield now instead of waiting
!TIP Not sure what to do? Just hold both tokens. You'll earn the same yield as a regular LP, and you can always trade later.
Step 3: Collect Yield
If you hold YT, swap fees from the underlying pool accrue to you automatically. To actually receive them:
- Go to the Pool page where you have a position
- Find your YT balance in the Your Positions section
- Click Harvest to pull fees from the underlying protocol
- Click Claim to send them to your wallet
You can claim as often as you like — just keep gas costs in mind.
Step 4: Redeem at Maturity
Every pool has a maturity date (typically 90 days from creation).
After maturity:
- Go to the pool page
- Click Redeem next to your PT balance
- Your PT is burned and you receive the underlying tokens back
Before maturity: You can always sell PT on the secondary market to exit early.
!NOTE YT has no redemption value, but make sure to claim any uncollected yield before discarding it.
