# Introduction

Gol Finance Vaults enable higher yields and save user’s time through an automated compounding mechanism and integration of different farming strategies into one simple UI. 

The GolFinance team hopes to be able to continuously bring best-in-class automated strategies for users at minimal and reasonable costs. Each vault might employ the use of different strategies, many of which use our proprietary dynamic optimised auto-compounding strategy.

To start using the Vaults, users need to deposit tokens or LP tokens. When users deposit into a vault, this deposit will grow over time and users will also receive $GOL Token rewards as an additional incentive for using the protocol. To grow users deposits, GolVaults will automatically deposit on existing dApps while compounding on a daily basis to maximize users profits.

Our tokenomics and fees are designed to encourage longer term staking, and reward long term holders of our $GOL native tokens.
