Beefy
Runs on more chains than anything else in the category and does the auto-compounding job reliably. The breadth is the risk: a vault is only as sound as the underlying farm, and there are a great many underlying farms.
Best for: Multi-chain auto-compounding with unusually broad coverage

Non-custodial and audited, with no exploit of its own vault contracts on DefiLlama's record after six years. Coverage of about 41 chains means exposure to many underlying protocols of varying quality.
Up to 9.5% of harvested rewards on new vaults (BIP:45), plus a 0.05% zap fee and up to 0.1% withdrawal fee on a few vaults, all published.
Unlicensed with distributed governance.
Reliable auto-compounding across chains. Vault performance depends entirely on underlying farms, which vary enormously.
Simple interface with clear per-vault APY breakdown and honest labelling of where yield comes from.
Strengths
- Low, clearly published fees with genuinely effective auto-compounding
- Widest chain coverage in the category
- Honest per-vault labelling of where the yield originates
Against it
- Vault quality is inherited from underlying farms that vary enormously
- Very wide coverage means a very wide risk surface
- Little curation — the user must judge each vault
Breadth, with the curation left to you
Beefy runs on about 41 chains and auto-compounds reliably for a published performance fee taken from harvested rewards, and after six years it has no exploit of its own vault contracts on DefiLlama’s record. It labels honestly where each vault’s yield comes from, which is the useful part.
There is minimal curation: a vault is only as sound as the farm beneath it, and there are thousands of farms on chains of very different quality. The judgement the category exists to outsource is handed back to the user.
Frequently asked questions
Is auto-compounding worth the fee?+
On expensive chains, usually yes — manual claiming and recompounding costs more in gas than Beefy’s fee. On cheap chains the maths is closer and convenience is the real product.
Are all Beefy vaults equally safe?+
No, and this is the main thing to understand about it. Each vault inherits the risk of the underlying farm, and those vary enormously. Beefy labels where the yield comes from; assessing it is your job.
Beefy or Yearn?+
Beefy now ranks higher here: Yearn carries a fund-loss penalty for the unreimbursed yETH exploit of November 2025. Yearn still publishes per-strategy risk scores and curates its V3 vaults; Beefy covers far more chains and does not curate.
