# Introduction ## What is UNION? UNION is a technology platform that combines bundled protection and a liquid secondary market with a multi-token model. With UNION, DeFi participants manage their multi-layer risks across smart contracts and protocols in one scalable system. UNION’s full-stack DeFi protection is inclusive, composable, and brings battle-tested capital and pricing models from TradFi to the DeFi ecosystem. The UNION Protocol repository can be found [on Github here](https://github.com/UNIONProtocolFoundation). --- # 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.
