# CORE PRODUCTS

- [Paragon Shield](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/paragon-shield.md): Paragon Shield is Paragon’s order-flow protection and private routing layer.
- [Intents & Batching](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/intents-and-batching.md): Paragon Flow upgrades swapping from a simple transaction model to an intent-based execution system.
- [Surplus & Rebates](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/surplus-and-rebates.md): Paragon does not retain execution gains.  If a trade executes better than your minimum expected outcome, the improvement is returned to users and distributed across the protocol.
- [Paragon Swap](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/paragon-swap.md): ParagonSwap is the Automated Market Maker (AMM) at the heart of Paragon Protocol. It powers permissionless, on-chain trading between crypto assets — with no intermediaries and no centralized control.
- [Overview](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/paragon-swap/overview.md): Paragon Swap is not just a swap interface. It is an execution layer designed to deliver better outcomes for every trade.
- [Auto-Yield on Buy (1–3%)](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/paragon-swap/auto-yield-on-buy-1-3.md): Instead of receiving 100% of your tokens in your wallet, a selected percentage is immediately allocated into the XPGN staking pool (PID-0).
- [One-Click Farming](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/paragon-swap/one-click-farming.md): One-Click Farming allows you to go from a single token to a fully staked farm position in one action.  No manual swaps. No liquidity steps. No staking steps.
- [Protocol-Owned Liquidity](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/protocol-owned-liquidity.md): Instead of relying entirely on external liquidity providers, a portion of trading fees is used to grow permanent, protocol-controlled liquidity over time.
- [Yield Farming](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/yield-farming.md): Paragon Farms allow users to earn rewards by providing liquidity and staking LP tokens.  Farming combines trading activity, emissions, and execution-based incentives into a unified reward system.
- [Agent Volt](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products/agent-volt.md): Agent Volt is Paragon’s automated execution layer.  It enables users to turn manual DeFi actions into structured, rule-based strategies — fully controlled by the user.

## 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://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/core-products.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.
