What it offers
- deposit: Deposit want tokens into Beefy vault
- depositAll: Deposit entire balance of want token
- withdraw: Withdraw by specifying share amount
- withdrawAll: Withdraw entire position
Notes
- Each vault has a unique address per strategy
- Approve want token to vault before depositing
- Use want() to discover which token a vault accepts
- getPricePerFullShare() returns the exchange rate between shares and want tokens
- Auto-compounds rewards - no manual claiming needed
Its names in a program
On Ethereum,Beefy is a namespace: its contracts need no import.
Deployments
ABI
Where a line says what an address it returns is, a program that calls the function through its namespace calls that contract’s methods on the result directly:<Namespace>.<Contract>.<function>(...).<method>(...). A token’s methods are the ERC-20
functions, and its writes are SafeERC20.
