Jones DAO allows users to earn multiple layers of yield on their assets of choice. Depositors can unlock a risk and yield profile unique to Jones DAO and their personal preferences by combining the power of jAssets, Synthetic LPs (SLPs), and JONES farming. The Jones Synthetic LPs replicate the payoff structure of a regular LP by writing options on the underlying assets.  \n  \n## jAssets  \n  \njAssets are fully composable yield-bearing tokens that aid tokens deployed in Jones yield strategies to gain liquidity and capital efficiency. These jAssets can only be minted when deposits are made to a primary Jones Vault, which is used to represent the deposit of a specific Asset e.g ETH.  \n  \nThe jAsset token is burned upon withdrawal, and the deposit made initially, including yield is returned to the depositor. jAssets also have incentivized liquidity pools. These liquidity pools enable users to swap out of their Jones Vault position and the underlying locked assets at any time.[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-m1tzlajm28)  \n$$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](jqyUTbMge28)$$  \n  \n# Vaults  \n  \nJones DAO provides vaults for a variety of assets and risk profiles.

Users can deposit their tokens and for primary vaults mint jAssets throughout this time, or withdraw their tokens and claim their yield by burning their jAssets. When the Jones Vaults get locked, deposits are further closed till the next set time. During this time, the vaults can then be curated by the DAO's strategies. Also, deposits can not be transferred out of the vault, but jAssets can be exchanged for other tokens on [SushiSwap](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sushiswap) through the DAO's jAsset [liquidity pools](https://iq.wiki/wiki/liquidity-pool).[\\[11\\]](#cite-id-aviz302bcwh)[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-rn81kmyigr)  \n  \n## Primary Jones Vaults  \n  \nThe primary Jones Vaults aim to produce risk-averse and stable yields in all market conditions, as they are more safer and conservative.

It is used to vote on important protocol decisions and can be locked to accrue part of the protocol's fees. JONES releases emissions. To encourage deep liquidity and a strong peg, JONES emissions are primarily directed at jAsset/Asset liquidity pools. Also, the emissions are used as rewards to encourage the supply and borrowing of jAssets, JONES, and [stablecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) like MIM, [FRAX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/frax-finance), or dpxUSD.
