# Understanding our Protocol

We offer a range of governance aggregation and liquidity-focused products.

The main method for governance "black holing" is through the minting of aAssets. Users can deposit tokens into AraFi, which locks these assets forever in their underlying protocol. AraFi returns a tokenized version of the assets as an aAsset.

 

Various boosted farms will be implemented. The product range will expand as key metrics are achieved.

 

Lastly we also feature vlARA, which is a critical component of our ecosystem and will allow for the future decentralized governance of the protocol and the distribution of protocol earnings.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.arafi.app/product-suite/understanding-our-protocol.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
