# Key Components and Functionalities

Dorado operates within a dynamic ecosystem composed of interconnected components, each playing a pivotal role in the platform's functionality, security, and user experience. From the fundamental protocol to external integrations, understanding these elements and their interactions is essential to comprehend the full extent of Dorado's capabilities.

### Interactions within the Ecosystem:

The elements within Dorado's ecosystem interact seamlessly, facilitating various financial activities and value transfers. Users restake their assets on the platform, receiving DORAB tokens in return, which are then used across multiple protocols to optimize rewards. Governance decisions made through the DORAB token shape the evolution of the protocol, while the validator network ensures the security and integrity of transactions. Decentralized applications built on Dorado's infrastructure provide additional utility and functionality, further enriching the ecosystem.

## 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://dorado.gitbook.io/dorado-docs/ecosystem/key-components-and-functionalities.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.
