# Protocol Architecture

A51's autonomous liquidity provisioning protocol will allow LPs to specify automation strategies that will be executed automatically on their liquidity. This gives the LPs the most user-friendly path between two extremes of vanilla CAMMs and ALMs.

CAMMs require constant intervention by the LPs and can be extremely hard to execute automated strategies. On the other hand, ALMs provide only a handful of strategies to choose from and provide no control to the LPs.

A51 Finance wishes to borrow the best of both worlds, essentially giving greater control than the LPs would otherwise get in CAMMs and offering efficient automation and a great user experience of ALMs.

This will allow LPs to apply a wide range of parameters to their liquidity strategy and execute all of it using A51 v3.

## 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://a51-finance.gitbook.io/a51-finance/overview/protocol-architecture.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.
