# The Earn Vault

The Earn Vault is the component of Orbit responsible for deposits and withdrawals, as well monitoring accrued yield, and issuing aUSDC tokens. The front-end is optimised for both desktop and mobile with an app planned for the future. The experience of the Earn Vault is designed to be as simple as possible for end users, abstracting much of the complexity and choice overload many protocols tend to show.

The Earn Vault takes USDC as a deposit token, although other stablecoins will be accepted in the future thank to routing. The vault has no lock-periods or deposit caps, giving users freedom and flexibility, although there is a withdrawal queue for large withdrawals that exceed the "liquidity buffer", to give the protocol type to rebalance strategies. \
\
Positions on Orbit are not linked to the individual account, but rather to the receipt token; aUSDC, received in return for depositing in the Earn Vault, transfering these tokens to another wallet will allow for redemption of the deposited funds and interest from the account holding the aUSDC.\
This aUSDC is a compounding token, meaning it increases in value as yield is earned in the vault. \
\
The front end includes a live tracker of protocols allocations by the yield aggregator and the ability to claim yield accrued by the account.&#x20;
