# Napier Foundation

The Napier Foundation is a Panama-registerd nonprofit entity grouping the main contributors and users of the Napier protocol.

Its aim is to develop the Napier protocol by funding contributors, or by facilitating access to the protocol for users and developers. In practice, the foundation:

* Hosts a front end to the protocol to facilitate the access of new users to Napier: napier.finance 
* Hosts technical documentation to facilitate the work of new Napier developers: docs.napier.finance
* Holds the intellectual property of open-source codebases such as napier-v2 and hosts it on the napierfi GitHub under a BUSL license. The foundation does not research or develop Napier software, contributors such as Napier Labs do.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://docs.napier.finance/npr/governance/napier-foundation.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.
