# Introduction

Viridian Exchange aims to be the main liquidity provider in the Core ecosystem, helping the chain grow and connecting EVM and Bitcoin for users and liquidity. Our goal is to offer a smooth and user-friendly experience by using the best features from other DEXes.

### Why Core?

* Core EVM lacks a strong AMM, and Viridian aims to fill that role.
* Each month, 1 million CORE will be distributed among protocols based on TVL, volume, transaction count, and other metrics. This makes Core an ideal chain for maintaining reward flow for our platform.
* Core DAO and Viridian share a vision for expanding blockchain's utility beyond traditional finance, focusing on scaling solutions and new networks while addressing blockchain challenges.
* Core EVM is a decentralized app secured by Bitcoin, using EVM-compatible smart contracts on a blockchain powered by Bitcoin. It combines delegated Proof-of-Work and delegated Proof-of-Stake.
* The years 2024 and 2025 are set for significant growth in the Core ecosystem, boosting expansion even further.

## 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://viridian-hub.gitbook.io/viridian/welcome/introduction.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.
