# Lithium Finance

> Decentralized asset-pricing protocol combining machine learning with collective intelligence to value illiquid assets, with an initial focus on NFTs. Price Seekers fund on-chain Pricing Quests to ask what an asset is worth; Price Experts answer for bounties paid in LITH plus Reputation Points. Governed by the Lithium DAO. The public interface is a set of Solidity contracts, not a hosted web API.

Generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline on 2026-07-19 from apis.yml and the artifacts in this repository. No hosted `/llms.txt` is published by the provider (https://lith.finance/llms.txt returns 404).

## Status

- Dormant. Contracts last pushed 2023-04-25; docs last updated 1-2 years ago.
- The API/app/docs subdomains referenced by the site (api.testnet.lith.finance, app.lith.finance, docs.lith.finance) no longer resolve in DNS.
- The legacy TheGraph subgraph (polygon-enquiry-beta-prod) is unreachable.
- There is no REST or GraphQL API to call. Integrate at the contract level only.
