## Overview

Yield-bearing vaults are fundamental DeFi primitives that allow users to deposit tokens and automatically earn returns. This tutorial walks through implementing such vaults on Solana.

Key topics covered:

- Understanding Solana's token vault architecture and the SPL Vaults program
- Implementing deposit/withdrawal mechanics with proper share calculations
- Adding yield strategies by integrating with lending protocols and stake pools
- Managing slippage and fees for optimal returns
- Implementing automatic compounding through Clockwork automation
- Security considerations for vault programs

This guide is essential for DeFi developers looking to build composable yield products on Solana, whether for staking rewards, lending interest, or LP fee accumulation. 

Learn how to create token vaults on Solana that automatically compound yield from staking, lending, and other DeFi protocols.
