# Protocol Components * **The Standardized Yield Token (SY)** provides a unified interface for wrapping yield-bearing assets * **The Principal Token (PT)** represents the principal value of the asset, redeemable at maturity * **The Yield Token (YT)** captures the yield generated by the underlying asset Understanding how these components interact is crucial for effectively using FIVA's features and implementing various yield strategies. Let's explore each component in detail. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
