# Yield Leverage





Open &#x2A;*Yield Leverage (YT)** and choose a market. Its YT entitles the holder to the associated interest-bearing token's yield until expiry. Use **Buy** or **Sell**, select an available input/output asset and enter the amount.

Review **Output**, **Earn Yield On**, **Implied APY** and **Yield Leverage**, then **Notional Amount**, **Pool Fee**, **Price Impact** and **Min. received** under **Details**. The **Slippage** control sets the tolerance that the confirmation step repeats as **Slippage Tolerance**. Minimum received is denominated in the selected output token: YT when buying, and your chosen asset when selling. Token units and decimals can differ.

**Earn Yield On** is the underlying exposure whose yield the YT output captures: the YT amount multiplied by the current PT rate, expressed in the underlying token. **Implied APY** reflects the market's price for future yield. **Yield Leverage** is how much of that exposure the quote buys per unit of input value. The market header's **Max Yield Leverage** is the market-wide upper bound at the current price, a priced exposure estimate rather than a guaranteed return. An unavailable price should be shown as unavailable; it does not imply a 1× position. The **Notional Amount** accounts for the underlying exposure involved in the route, rather than treating all YT, PT and IBT units as interchangeable.

*Example from the combined app implementation. Quotes and prices change with the market.*

Approve the required token if prompted, then confirm **Buy YT** or **Sell YT**. After confirmation, check Portfolio. Use **Actions → Claim Yield** when claimable yield is available. Previously claimed amounts are distinct from amounts available to claim now.

YT stops accruing new yield at expiry. You can still [claim remaining accrued yield](/docs/spectra/app-help/claim-accrued-yield). Before expiry, matching PT and YT can be [burned together](/docs/spectra/app-help/withdraw-pt-yt).
