# Please Explain How It Works?!?!

Pulse is a marketplace where people can trade future yield from their assets. If a token earns yield over time through lending, LP positions on a DEX, staking, or any yield-bearing strategy, Pulse lets you sell or buy that future yield as its own asset.

Example using 1 year

Imagine you have 10,000 ADA that will generate yield for the next 12 months.

Instead of waiting the full year to receive that yield, you can deposit your ADA into Pulse and sell the next 1 year of yield to someone else.

For example:

• You lock 10,000 ADA on Pulse\
• A buyer pays you 800 ADA upfront\
• In exchange, they receive all the yield your 10,000 ADA generates over the next year\
• After 12 months, your 10,000 ADA is returned to you untouched\
• They keep whatever yield it earned

You get immediate liquidity, and the buyer gets exposure to future yield.

How it applies across different yield sources

1. Lending protocols\
   If you deposit ADA, iUSD, SNEK, or any token into a lending platform and it earns interest, Pulse lets you sell the rights to that interest for the next year.\
   You keep your full deposit. The buyer gets the interest.
2. LP tokens from DEXs\
   If you are providing liquidity such as ADA and SNEK on Minswap or Splash, your LP position earns fees. Pulse allows you to tokenize that future fee revenue and sell the next year of earnings.\
   You keep your LP position. The buyer gets the trading fees your LP generates.
3. Native yield-bearing tokens\
   If the token itself produces yield, such as staking rewards or protocol revenue share, you can sell the next year of rewards to unlock instant ADA.\
   You keep the token. The buyer earns the rewards.

In short

Pulse turns future yield into something you can sell today. Buyers and sellers meet in a marketplace where sellers get upfront capital and buyers get exposure to future yield and market opportunities. Principal always returns to the original owner at the end of the term. This creates a financial layer for Cardano where yield becomes a tradable asset instead of something you have to wait for.
