# LLMs.txt

ETH Strategy provides an `llms.txt` file — a machine-readable protocol overview designed for consumption by large language models, AI agents, and automated tools.

## What is llms.txt?

The `llms.txt` standard provides a structured, plain-text summary of a project that AI models can use to understand the protocol without parsing an entire documentation site. It covers:

* **Core concepts** — what esETH, STRAT, CDT, and ESPN are and how they relate
* **Mechanics** — how bonding, conversion, staking, and lending work
* **Contracts** — all deployed addresses on Ethereum mainnet and Derive chain
* **Governance** — what's tunable, what's immutable, who controls what
* **Risks** — honest assessment with mitigations
* **Instructions for AI** — explicit guidance on common points of confusion

## Access

The file is available at the root of the documentation repository:

```
/llms.txt
```

## Why This Matters

AI agents are increasingly used to research, compare, and interact with DeFi protocols. Providing structured, accurate data in a format optimized for LLM consumption ensures that:

1. AI-generated answers about ETH Strategy are accurate
2. Agent-based systems can integrate with our protocol correctly
3. Automated research tools can index our protocol alongside others

## For Autonomous Agents

If you are building an AI agent that queries on-chain state, submits transactions, or provides structured data about ETH Strategy, see the dedicated [AI Agents](https://docs.ethstrat.xyz/developers/ai-agents) page. It provides:

* Function selectors for direct RPC calls (no ABI required)
* Typed protocol state schema
* Machine-readable token metadata and governance parameters in JSON
* Safety rules for transaction agents
* Derived metric formulas (EPS, mNAV, protocol leverage, ESPN APY)

The `llms.txt` file is for understanding; the AI Agents page is for operating.

## Keeping It Current

The `llms.txt` file is updated alongside protocol documentation. When new contracts deploy or mechanics change, the file is revised to reflect the current state of the protocol.
