Beefy is a multi-chain yield optimizer that automates harvest-and-compound for LP and single-asset positions across 40+ chains via ERC-4626-compatible vaults.
Beefy runs a loop — earn farm rewards, harvest, swap to the underlying, re-deposit — many times a day. Drive the sliders and watch flat APR diverge from compounded APY.
Anyone can trigger harvest. The strategy claims the pending rewards; a small performance fee is split among BIFI stakers, treasury, the strategist and the harvester.
More frequent harvests reinvest yield sooner, nudging realised APY closer to its theoretical ceiling — but real harvests cost gas, so Beefy batches them at the optimal cadence per vault.
A ~9.5% performance fee is skimmed from each harvest (to BIFI stakers, treasury, strategist, harvester), so the rate actually reinvested is ~16.3%. No deposit fee, no lockup.

Manually harvesting and re-depositing farm rewards across dozens of chains and protocols is gas-expensive, time-consuming, and rarely optimal — most yield farmers leave significant compounding APY on the table.
Beefy vaults wrap underlying yield-bearing positions and run automated strategies that harvest, swap, and redeposit rewards multiple times daily across 40+ chains, capturing maximal compound interest with minimal user intervention.
Largest multi-chain yield optimizer by chain count (40+), 5+ year track record with no core-protocol exploit, fully bootstrapped (no VCs), fixed-supply BIFI governance token (80,000 cap), and an open-source vault factory pattern that ships new vaults weekly.
