Vaults
What is a Vault in DeFi?
A Vault is like an automated yield basket. You deposit your crypto — and the vault handles the rest:
It finds the best yield opportunities
Moves your funds automatically between them
Reinvests profits back into the strategy (so your returns compound!)
Why Vaults Are Great for Beginners
Set it and forget it — just deposit once and let the strategy run
Auto-compounding — profits are reinvested to grow faster
Curated by experts — the strategy logic is built by teams who optimize for safety and yield
What are the Risks?
While vaults make things easy, it’s still important to be mindful:
Smart contract risk — You’re trusting the vault’s code and automation logic
Strategy risk — If the yield sources it uses drop or change suddenly
Access risk — Some vaults may have lock-up times or withdrawal fees
