● REAL Grade C

Is the USDAT yield on pendle real?

This 1.77% is mostly real staking / lending yield (~1.56% of it). Only about 12% comes from token emissions. It is single-asset, so there is no impermanent loss to drag you below holding. It can still fall, but it isn't a disappearing subsidy.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

No impermanent loss here — the ~1.56% is real income on the very asset you'd be holding anyway. Only any emissions portion fades.
