# Integration Guides

### How to use these guides

The Category Brief lists Areas of Interest. Your proposal must leverage **at least one of them**. Each guide below gives you enough context to decide which fits your product, plus the first-hand resources to start building today: docs, repos, sandbox access, support channels. Examples of what you could build are just that - something to inspire you; but lists are non-exhaustive and the program looks forward to your innovative approaches beyond the examples listed.

1. [Oracles: real-time data feeds](/open-funding/funding-basics/integration-guides/oracles-real-time-data-feeds.md)
2. [Stablecoins: building with verified stablecoin asset policies](/open-funding/funding-basics/integration-guides/stablecoins-building-with-verified-stablecoin-asset-policies.md)
3. [Programmable tokens (CIP-0113)](/open-funding/funding-basics/integration-guides/programmable-tokens-cip-0113.md)
4. [On-chain identity (CIP-0170)](/open-funding/funding-basics/integration-guides/on-chain-identity-cip-0170.md)
5. [Analytics: Dune and Cardano leaderboard](/open-funding/funding-basics/integration-guides/analytics-dune-and-cardano-leaderboard.md)

One rule to keep in mind while you read, because it shapes architecture: your fee target is measured in Cardano network fees paid by wallets that are not yours. Fees from your own declared wallets never count (Standard §5.2), and fees your team sponsors on users' behalf don't count either (Standard §12.3). Design flows where your users, not your operations, generate the transactions.

Three things to know before you write your target down. It must sit above your category's published floor. It is scored both ways at selection: a timid target loses points, and an aggressive target without strong evidence loses points too. And it is final at submission, published next to what you actually deliver, permanently; how well you call your own shot becomes part of your public track record and carries into future rounds (Standard §3, §13.5).

Notes throughout the documentation referring to “Standard §XY” are distinct parts of the [Proof of Adoption & Standard](/open-funding/funding-basics/proof-of-adoption-and-standard.md) guidelines.

# 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.projectcatalyst.io/open-funding/funding-basics/integration-guides.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.
