What are yearn Vaults?

Yearn Vaults are smart contracts that employ complex yield strategies on behalf of depositors. Each vault is managed by a Strategist who writes the strategy code. Vaults automatically harvest rewards, compound gains, and rebalance positions, saving users gas costs and manual effort.

Why is YFI so expensive per token?

YFI has one of the smallest supplies in crypto: only 36,666 tokens exist with no ability to mint more. This extreme scarcity means each token commands a high individual price. YFI was famously launched with 'zero value' and no pre-mine, distributed purely through yield farming.
