# Getting Started

Welcome to Balancer Simulations!&#x20;

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.

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://token-engineering-balancer.gitbook.io/balancer-simulations/master.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
