# Introduction

### **What is VoolSwap**

VoolSwap is a privacy focused execution layer designed to improve how trades are performed onchain.

It is built around a simple idea.
\
Execution should belong to the user, not to the network watching it.

**Today, most trading activity is fully transparent before it even completes.**
\
**VoolSwap changes how that process works.**

It focuses on:

• private order flow handling
\
• reduced exposure during execution
\
• efficient liquidity routing
\
• improved control over transaction visibility

**VoolSwap allows users to interact with liquidity without turning every action into a public signal.**

## 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://voolswap.gitbook.io/voolswap-docs/introduction.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.
