# Stazys Native Vaults The **Stazys Native Vaults** are the official vaults managed by the Stazys team, designed to provide optimized yield while maintaining a strong focus on risk management and security. *** ### Management Our team actively manages the native vaults with a clear strategy: **distribute risk across multiple safe, audited protocols while pursuing high yield opportunities**. We carefully select protocols based on their security track record, audit history, and proven stability, ensuring your capital is deployed across a diversified portfolio of trusted DeFi platforms. The team continuously monitors market conditions, adjusts allocations as needed, and rebalances positions to optimize returns while maintaining our risk-first approach. *** ### $STZ token Native vaults are tokenized the same way than other vaults, with extra incentives. When you deposit, you receive $**STZ tokens** : a yield-bearing asset with a price per share that represents your share of the vault. As the vault generates yield, the price per share increases, reflecting the growing value of your position. Find details about vault tokenization [here](/stazys-docs/stragies-and-vaults/tokenization.md). ### Exclusive Benefits 1. **Reduced Operations Fees**\ The Native Vault benefits from **50% reduced** [**operations fees** ](/stazys-docs/stragies-and-vaults/fees.md)compared to standard vaults. This means more of your returns stay in your pocket, improving your net yield. 2. **Protocol Fee Sharing**\ As a Native Vault depositor, you earn **20% of the entire** [**protocol's fees**](/stazys-docs/stragies-and-vaults/fees.md) as additional rewards. As the Stazys ecosystem grows, this creates a compounding benefit that increases your overall returns beyond the base yield. *** ### Performance Fee Structure The Native Vault charges a **15% performance fee, applied only on profits**. This means: * You pay nothing if the vault doesn't generate profits * Fees are only taken from gains, not from deposits or withdrawals * The team's incentives are aligned with your success, they only earn when you do This performance-based fee structure ensures that the management team is motivated to maximize returns while you're protected from fees during down periods. *** ### Understanding the Risks {% hint style="danger" %} While the Stazys Native Vaults are designed with risk management as a priority, it's important to understand that all DeFi investments carry inherent [risks](/stazys-docs/security/risks.md) which depositors should understand. {% endhint %} *** ### Start investing To deposit into the Stazys Native Vault, navigate to the Vault page. Review the current allocation, performance metrics, and risk profile before depositing. Your deposits will be automatically deployed according to the team's strategy, and you'll receive STZ tokens representing your share of the vault. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
