# What is Apollo Protocol?

<figure><img src="/files/uDTT1Cc60KMkdWzoTD6K" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Apollo Protocol is the first lending and borrowing platform on the SORA network and a part of the Ceres ecosystem. Apollo enables its users to deposit and borrow assets on the SORA network. Depositors can provide liquidity and secure passive income through interest, while borrowers can leverage their assets without selling them and pay interest for this service.

A lending and borrowing platform is one of the fundamental dApps of any blockchain, contributing to the growth of liquidity and activity of the network. It is a public, decentralized marketplace for assets accessible not only by users but also by bots and other DeFi protocols. The Apollo Protocol offers a comprehensive set of lending features for assets on the SORA network.

## 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://apollo-protocol.gitbook.io/apollo-protocol/get-started/what-is-apollo-protocol.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.
