# perps. Documentation

Welcome to the official documentation for `perps.`

`perps.` is a SocialFi trading app for creator markets. During the current public testnet, users can explore creator profiles, connect an account, use testnet funds, trade supported creator markets, launch creator markets, and track XP/rank progress.

{% hint style="info" %}
The current public release is a testnet/demo environment on Base Sepolia. Testnet assets have no real-world value and public testnet behavior may change quickly.

## 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://perps.gitbook.io/perps./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.

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.
