Why Protocols and Users Turn To Fixed Rates and Trading Yields on Spectra

Great builders never give up! That’s exactly what the CoFounders of Spectra Finance (formerly APWine) did this last bear market. After failing to find a sticky enough product to keep users coming back to earn fixed rates and trade yield, they redesigned and relaunched their protocol, now becoming the most popular competitor to Pendle, with notable pools such as Resolv’s wstUSR earning 30% APY for lenders (see below).

In this new Yield Talks on The Edge Podcast, we host a panel to discuss how to use this decentralized permissionless interest rate protocol, why it grew to over $220M TVL in less than 8 months, and how it enables users to earn fixed rates and trade yields while protocols can grow their liquidity.
