What you accomplished

• You tokenized your strikeADA position into PT and YT.

• You sold the future yield by selling YT, and received upfront value in SY strikeADA that you could convert to strikeADA.

• The buyer now holds YT strikeADA and can redeem the future yield at maturity. You keep the PT strikeADA, which represents the principal at maturity.
