Let’s take a common scenario where you leverage loop PT-USDe<>USDC on AAVE
What you need to monitor
When leverage looping, you're exposed to both your PT position and your lending protocol (here, AAVE). You need to monitor PT-specific factors like implied rates, maturity, and reward dynamics, plus AAVE-specific parameters like borrowing rates and protocol health.
What Otomato watches for you
On top of all the use cases already mentioned in getting fixed yield, Otomato monitors additional leverage-specific alerts:
Points and season updates
PT value depends heavily on incentives, seasons, and reward mechanics. These updates are typically announced on Twitter and can move markets within minutes.
Otomato's intelligence layer monitors the social accounts linked to your PT's underlying protocol (here, USD.ai) and alerts you as soon as a post might impact your position's value.
Example notifications:
Points multiplier change"USDai reduced the YT points multiplier from 10× to 5×."
TGE announced"USDai announced their TGE to be on February 11th."
New season announced"USDai announced their season 2, starting"
PT implied rate change
Changes in the PT implied rate signal shifts in how the market values future yield. When rates move significantly, it affects your PT's current value and may change your strategy.
Otomato tracks these rate movements continuously and alerts you when the implied yield meaningfully shifts, so you can decide whether to hold or exit your position.
Example notifications
"The PT-USDai implied rate dropped from 13.4% to 10.3%."
"The PT-USDai implied rate increased from 7% to 10%."
Security incident
If Pendle USDai or AAVE has a security issue, your funds might be compromised.
Otomato surfaces security incidents as soon as credible signals appear so you can react quickly.
"USDai announced that their frontend has been compromised. View source"

Underlying depeg
If USDai depegs, it creates two scenarios for PT holders: a temporary loss if it drops below $1, or an opportunity for larger profit if it rises above $1. Both situations require quick decisions.
Otomato continuously monitors underlying asset prices and alerts you as soon as a meaningful deviation is detected.
Example notifications
"USDai is trading at 0.982."
"USDai is trading at 1.034."
PT maturity
Once a PT reaches maturity, you no longer earn fixed yield. At this point, you need to either roll into a new market or claim your underlying asset.
Otomato sends you a reminder when the market expires so you don't forget to redeploy your capital.
Example notifications
"Your PT-USDai position has expired."
Supply cap change
Supply caps directly affect how much capital can enter a PT or YT market. When caps are raised, new liquidity can flow in, which often impacts PT and YT pricing.
This applies to Pendle-specific caps, but also money market caps. If the PT-USDai cap is raised by $10M on Euler and fills quickly, it creates substantial PT demand with little to no increase in YT demand. This supply shock can trigger repricing.
Otomato alerts you when caps change so you can anticipate market movements.
Example notifications:
"The supply cap for PT-USDai on Euler was increased by $10M"
"Pendle increased the cap for PT-USDai-11Feb26 by $50M."
Limit orders
Otomato tracks your Pendle limit orders and alerts you as soon as it gets filled.
Example notifications:
"Your limit order to buy PT-USDai-11Feb26 has been fully filled at an implied rate of 11.2%"
"Your limit order to sell PT-USDe-28Dec25 was partially filled (62%) at an implied rate of 9.4%"
Borrowing rate
If your borrowing rate rises above the fixed yield you're earning from the PT, your loop becomes unprofitable. You're paying more to borrow than you're earning from the position.
Otomato tracks borrowing rates continuously and alerts you when they approach or exceed your PT's fixed yield.
Notification examples:
"The USDC borrowing rate on AAVE is now 9.8%, which is higher than your collateral yield (PT-USDe) currently sitting at 9.1%."
Liquidation risk
When the PT-USDe implied rate spikes, your PT collateral loses value. This increases your liquidation risk.
Otomato monitors your health factor and alerts you before you reach dangerous levels.
Example notifications
"Your AAVE health factor is below 1.04 on Arbitrum. The PT-USDe implied rate reached 19.4%. Pay attention!"
