# Getting Started

Welcome to Balancer Simulations! 

Balancer Simulations is a project of TE-AMM and the Token Engineering Community, funded by grants from [Balancer](https://balancer.finance/) and [PowerPool](https://powerpool.finance/), and kicked off by [EthicHub](https://www.ethichub.com/en/).

It aims to build infrastructure and knowledge for rigorous Balancer Token Engineering to leverage the full power of Balancer Pools as a core building block in DeFi.

**We invite any project building on Balancer Pools to join our** [**Discord Channel**](https://discord.gg/KTUPMCRZNQ) **and benefit from Balancer Simulations.**

* **Analyze existing Balancer Pools** using on-chain transaction data,  understand pool characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses
* **Gain intuition** by exploring pool variants, observe system behavior over time, derive the most valuable monitoring metrics for your use case
* **Run experiments** based on historical transactions, mix historical and synthetic transactions to model particular market scenarios
* **Develop and test** adaptive Dynamic AMM solutions, like Dynamic Weights Changing, test and optimize controls and feedback loops
* Model agent behavior and apply Reinforcement Learning to **run stress tests** for a proposed system design

All research and models are available through open source repositories, and will be further developed by TE-AMM.
