# About

## What is ZDX Finance?

ZDX Finance is a DeFi protocol that allows users to hold positions on the blockchain that resemble real-world assets such as stocks and bonds by generating synthetic assets called zAssets. The zAssets are minted by depositing collateral and burned with the return of collateral upon redemption. The zAssets are also listed on DEX in stablecoin pairs, creating a decentralized market for zAssets.

### Features

#### Collateral Debt Positon (CDP)

ZDX FINANCE allows you to issue synthetic assets linked to the price of a stock or other asset by pledging stablecoin as collateral.

#### Decentralized Exchange (DEX)

Synthetic assets (zAssets) can be traded on a Decentralized Exchange. You can also earn rewards by providing liquidity with synthetic assets paired with other tokens.

## 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://zdxfi.gitbook.io/zdx-finance/welcome/about.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.
