Its main products are vaults, where one can stake crypto tokens. These vaults have specific investment strategies. The token deposits are compounded automatically.

Unlike the traditional vaults, Beefy Finance Vaults do not lock funds, and people can withdraw them whenever they want. This way, the user has total control over the funds. The profits from the vaults are distributed to those who stake BIFI.
