# The Unofficial Guide to Mai Finance

## Is this guide approved by the community?

This guide was developed by members of the Mai Finance community, also known as Qimps (chimps), to explore the Mai Finance borrowing platform in greater detail and present a variety of DeFi strategies by which users can derive additional value from the platform. This is not an official guide for Mai Finance, nor is any of this literature financial advice. As always with DeFi and cryptocurrency in general, do your own research, and only invest what you’re comfortable with potentially losing.

## What will I find on this website?

The goal of this website is to present a variety of investment strategies that utilize the Mai Finance borrowing platform. Topic samples include managing debts and repayments, advantages of borrowing the MAI stablecoin and how to integrate Mai Finance into other DeFi protocols/strategies. Lastly, information on how to efficiently use Mai Finance's native token, Qi, will be provided.

## What will I not find on this website?

It will be assumed that users of this website are already aware of DeFi projects on Polygon, have a good understanding of how cryptocurrency works, and are informed of the different risks related to the cryptocurrency industry in general.

It will also be assumed that users have a basic understanding of the Mai Finance platform, it’s fees and how the protocol earns revenue.

## 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://qidao-qimps.gitbook.io/mai-finance-tutorials/readme.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.
