PPS Model (Non-rebase real yield)
L-Tokens follow a Price-Per-Share (PPS) model to account for yield. Instead of increasing your token balance, the value of each token increases over time as the vault generates returns.
No rebasing. No claiming. No restaking loops.
How PPS Is Calculated
PPS = Vault Net Asset Value / L-Token SupplyVault value increases as yield is collected.
L-Token supply remains constant. → PPS goes up.
Your yield is reflected directly in the exchange value of the token.
Example
Initial Deposit
1,000 lyUSDC
1.0000
1,000 USDC
After ~3 Months
1,000 lyUSDC
1.0184
1,018 USDC
After ~12 Months
1,000 lyUSDC
1.0920
1,092 USDC
Your balance stays the same. Your claimable value increases.
Why PPS Instead of Rebasing?
Value increases, balance stable
Balance fluctuates
Safe for LPs, lending, collateral
Often breaks DeFi accounting
No custom integrations needed
Requires protocol-specific support
PPS makes L-Tokens plug-and-play across DeFi.
Withdrawals
When you withdraw:
Withdrawn USDC/EURC = L-Token Balance × Current PPSIf PPS has increased, you redeem more stablecoins than you deposited.
Withdrawals are processed using:
On-chain liquidity buffer for instant settlements
RWA settlement process for large requests (covered in the next section)
Key Benefits
Auto-compounding
No inflation / no emissions
Fully auditable on-chain
Composability preserved
PPS ensures yield is clean, transparent, and portable.
