# Earning Yield with Savers

**What are Savers?** \
[Savers](https://docs.mayaprotocol.com/deep-dive/mayachain-finance/savings) are a way for crypto users who want to earn single-sided yield on their favorite Layer 1 assets with no impermenant loss. \
\
Example: Deposit BTC, earn BTC\
\
**How does Savers work?** 

Using [Synthetics](https://docs.mayaprotocol.com/deep-dive/mayachain-finance/synthetic-asset-model) (Synths), users mint Synthetic assets that represent 1:1 ownership of the underlying Layer 1 asset. These Synths are then locked into a Savings Vault and users receive Saver Units that represent their ownership of the vault balance. \
