# Paragon Protocol ## Paragon Protocol Documentations - [Paragon Overview](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/start-here/paragon-overview.md): Paragon Protocol is a non-custodial DeFi ecosystem built for users who want better execution, emissions-based yield, and full control of their assets. - [Whitepaper](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/start-here/whitepaper.md): Paragon: Transparent Markets → Builder-First Chain - [Roadmap](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/start-here/roadmap.md): Last Updated: July 2025 – Version 4 - [Agent Volt — Autonomous Execution Layer](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/start-here/roadmap/agent-volt-autonomous-execution-layer.md): Milestone: Q3 2026 Launch - [Get Started (BNB Chain)](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/start-here/get-started-bnb-chain.md): Welcome! This guide walks you from zero → first trade → liquidity → farming → rebates on BNB Smart Chain (BSC). It’s written for both Mainnet and Testnet (we’re running public testnet) - [Risk & Limits](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/start-here/risk-and-limits.md): Paragon is non-custodial — you always control your assets, but risks still exist. - [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. - [Overview](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/p10-index/overview.md): P10 is Paragon’s flagship on-chain index, designed to provide diversified exposure to leading crypto assets through a single token.

Transparent pricing. Protected execution. Always non-custodial. - [Overview](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/governance-and-tokens/overview.md): Paragon is designed to be community-owned and execution-driven. - [Governance (Voting)](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/governance-and-tokens/governance-voting.md): Paragon governance allows users to propose and vote on protocol decisions. Voting power is earned through participation and later transitions to veXPGN-based on-chain governance. - [veXPGN (Locking & Power)](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/governance-and-tokens/vexpgn-locking-and-power.md): veXPGN is Paragon’s governance and value-alignment layer. By locking XPGN, users gain voting power, influence protocol parameters, and participate in system-level incentives. - [Overview](https://paragon-protocol.gitbook.io/paragon-protocol/tokenomics-xpgn/overview.md): XPGN is the core token of Paragon Protocol, used for governance, incentives, and participation across the system.
