What is a vault?

A vault is a smart contract that automates depositing capital into a DeFi protocol. Vaults also commonly pool capital from various users and create economies of scale through reducing gas costs and achieving higher levels of protocol incentives.

Vaults are a great way to participate in DeFi:

  • Minimal maintenance (compared to manually using a protocol)

  • Useful metrics to help evaluate opportunities (vault user interfaces commonly show APY, overall value locked in an opportunity, deposit history, etc.)

  • Helpful with discovering new protocols

  • Often cheaper to use than protocols directly, sometimes with higher returns
