# Simple Earn

Simple Earn is a service for generating yield by depositing USDC or SOL into curated vaults powered by established DeFi protocols, without needing to understand complex farming strategies. DeGate charges no fees on Simple Earn: all yield goes to you.

* **Established underlying protocols.** Vaults connect to Morpho (on Ethereum) and Kamino (on Solana), both established, audited DeFi lending and yield protocols. The live vault list is in the app.
* **Multi-chain deposits.** Deposit USDC from any supported chain instantly; the system manages balances across networks with no manual bridging. On Solana you can also deposit SOL (via the Kamino Jito Market).
* **Simplified yield management.** From the initial deposit to claiming rewards, the dashboard lets you track and manage earnings at a glance.

## What returns to expect

APYs typically range from 3% to 8%, and can reach 10%+ during favorable market conditions. APYs are variable; past performance does not guarantee future returns.

## FAQ

**Where does the yield come from?** From the underlying Morpho and Kamino vault strategies. The yield is generated by those protocols' lending markets, not by DeGate.

**What does Simple Earn cost?** Nothing from DeGate: no deposit, withdrawal, or performance fees. All yield goes directly to the user.

**Can I withdraw at any time?** Yes. You can deposit and withdraw anytime; there is no lock-up period.

**Do I give up custody when I deposit?** Deposits go into the selected vault's smart contracts, authorized by your key. DeGate does not take custody of your funds itself; the position carries the risk profile of the underlying protocol.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.degate.com/features/simple-earn.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
