Pinto is paving the way for trustless execution at scale. Transacting in the EVM has historically been complex and time-consuming for most users. Only the small subset with the technical skills and resources to code smart contracts and spin up servers can execute sophisticated strategies at speed and scale. Despite attempts to broaden access to automated strategies through open-source solutions, the cost of operating personal bots remains prohibitively high for average users. Furthermore, bot...

Where does the yield come from?Let’s answer the universal question first. Pinto is a low volatility money protocol designed to adapt to changes in demand by creating incentives that adjust its supply. When the supply of the Pinto token grows, new Pinto is distributed to participants. This is often referred to as seignorage. The Supply of Pinto grows when Pinto trades above its value target of $1. This occurs when demand for Pinto is greater than the supply of Pinto. 97% of newly minted Pinto ...

“Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water. Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass it. The soft overcomes the hard; the gentle overcomes the rigid. Everyone knows that is true, but few can put it into practice. Therefore the Master remains serene in the midst of sorrow. Evil cannot enter his heart. Because he has given up helping, he is people’s greatest help. True words seem paradoxical.” — Lao-tzu, Tao te Ching, Verse 78An Existential Threat“Whatever can...

"Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose—and commit myself to—what is best for me." – Paulo Coelho, The Zahir Historically, one of the biggest impediments to Pinto (and Bean) utility has been the excessive volatility in the yield earned for continuously holding Pinto. During growth cycles, the return from Silo Deposits can be tremendous (e.g., 3 or 4 figure APYs); during periods without any growth, the APY can be at or near 0 for months on end. Such volatility in ...
