## Yield Farming Cycle


1) Pick a place to invest your capital:

* AMM (liquidity provider)
* money market (lender)
* yield aggregator (capital provider for hedge fund) -> What does this mean?
* XYZ capital provider


This is gonna give you a small but honest return.

Return: 0.1% - 20% APY

You always get a derivative or interest-beafing token for depositing.
AKA a derivative token.

2) Staking

Once a user sucesfully deposited capital into a protocol, and they receive the itnerest bearing version of that asset,

Then the user can deposit that interest-bearig asset (derivative) and get extra yield.

The inner box that includes the Vault and Rewards pool is the protocol.
- Stores money, Issues derivitives
- Stores derivities, issues governance token
- Grants come from treasury
