# Strategies & Yields

### Frequently Asked Questions (Strategies & Yields)

#### How does strategy allocation work?

The **StrategyRouter** automatically distributes your deposited SOM across different strategies according to governance-defined weights. This ensures balanced exposure and efficient use of capital.

#### What strategies are available right now?

Currently, Insomnia includes the **SimpleHoldingAdapter**, which securely holds SOM as a baseline strategy. Over time, more strategies like liquidity mining, lending, or cross-chain farming can be added through governance.

#### Can new strategies be added in the future?

Yes. The system is designed with a modular **IStrategyAdapter** interface, meaning governance can add new strategies without changing the core vault or router.

#### How often are yields harvested?

Harvests can be triggered at any time by keepers or governance. The frequency usually depends on gas efficiency and how much yield has accumulated.

#### What happens during a harvest?

When a harvest is triggered, yields from strategies are collected and sent back to the vault. This increases the vault’s total assets, which is reflected in the value of your vault shares.

#### Do I need to manually claim yield?

No. Yield is automatically reflected in the vault’s balance. When you withdraw, your share of the yield is included in your withdrawal amount.

#### Are there risks with the strategies?

Yes, as with all DeFi systems. Risks include:

* **Smart contract risk** – bugs or vulnerabilities in strategies.
* **Liquidity risk** – delays or slippage when unwinding positions.
* **Protocol risk** – failures in the underlying protocols where funds are deployed.

The Insomnia Protocol mitigates these with **conservative strategy selection, TVL caps, governance oversight, and pause controls**.
