# Overview
> Learn how to use Earn Vaults in the Kamino app, including depositing tokens, tracking yield, and withdrawing
Earn Vaults let you earn optimized yield on a single token without managing lending markets yourself. Instead of choosing which lending markets to use, you deposit into a vault and the vault handles the allocation for you. The vault's capital is managed across Kamino lending reserves, and your position earns from that blended exposure.
## Why use Earn Vaults?
Earn Vaults are designed for users who want a more hands-off way to earn optimized yield.
They may be useful if you want to:
* Deposit a single token and start earning yield
* Avoid choosing and managing individual lending markets yourself
* Get exposure to a managed allocation across multiple reserves
* Earn yield that compounds automatically over time
* Benefit from automatic optimization and rebalancing across Kamino markets
