Community asked what arbitrage actually means in practice, so here's a real example that just netted me $1,320.
Arbitrage? Simple - spot the spread, capture the difference.
Here's how it played out:
Grabbed Pendle's YT tokens when APY sat around 16%. Not amazing, but workable.
Flipped those same tokens when APY hit 24.99%. Market inefficiency at its finest.
The math? Locked in $1,320 pure profit from that spread.
That's textbook arbitrage in DeFi - no crystal ball needed, just patience and price monitoring. The yield difference does the heavy lifting while you execute the trade.

The market will always slap you in the face; even moving bricks can earn you money while lying down.

People just lie there making money, while obedient workers are really upset.
