Pesto also introduces a new primitive called the 'spread short', allowing users to short one asset and simultaneously long another, using only half the collateral required to achieve similar exposure through incumbent protocols.

Want to short BTC? Here's a quick example. At current price of $70,000, deposit $7,000 USDC in Pesto. Pesto will borrow & sell 0.08 BTC (assuming 80% LTV) for $5600. Price drops to $65,000📉, Pesto will buy back 0.08 BTC for $5200, pocket $400 USDC profit. Simple, right?
