# Yield Module

The Yield Module is the execution layer for City Protocol's capital deployment. It utilizes the underlying Vault Architecture to **deploy capital across various DeFi strategies**, transforming passive capital into active yield-bearing positions.

By integrating with top-tier yield providers like Gauntlet, Steakhouse, Ground, Turtle, and Superstate, the Earn Module ensures competitive returns while adhering to the strict risk parameters defined at the vault level.
