What is Peapods Finance?

Peapods Finance is a permissionless, modular decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that allows any ERC-20 asset to become the foundation of a self-sustaining financial system. The protocol enables the creation of Vaults called “Pods” which provide depositors with a synthetic ERC-20 wrapped version of the deposited asset (pTKN).

Pods unlock yield opportunities through internal protocol mechanics such as Volatility Farming, Leveraged Volatility Farming (LVF), Lending Markets, Meta-Vaults and Governance. These primitives work together to generate organic yield from volatility and market activity, without relying on inflationary emissions.

Peapods enables seamless on-chain deployment of advanced financial tooling with no permissions required. Protocols and communities can bootstrap liquidity and launch leveraged yield strategies through a fully composable and immutable infrastructure with absolutely no upfront costs.

Why Peapods Exists

Incentive models across most of DeFi rely on emissions through newly minted tokens which are distributed as rewards. These emissions dilute supply and inevitably decay in effectiveness, whilst devaluing the exact asset they are designed to support. Peapods has been built to eliminate dependence on these models and move DeFi towards a more sustainable incentive model.

By treating volatility as a yield source, Peapods enables real, sustainable incentives. The protocol captures fees from wrapping/unwrapping assets, trading activity, and borrowing behavior. These fees are recycled back into the system, creating a compounding flywheel for protocol growth that does not require new token issuance.
