# Composability

This section contains a brief overview of certain ERC standards that have been adopted in order to allow for a greater degree of composability between the Maple protocol and the rest of the Ethereum ecosystem:

| Contract Standard                                     | Usage                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`ERC-20`](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-20)     | Used by the `Pool` to facilitate fungible token interactions.                                                                 |
| [`ERC-1967`](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1967) | Used by all upgradeable contracts in the Maple protocol that are deployed using `MapleProxyFactory` or `NonTransparentProxy`. |
| [`ERC-2612`](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2612) | Used by the `Pool` to facilitate `permit` functionality for fungible token interactions.                                      |
| [`ERC-4626`](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4626) | Used by the `Pool` to facilitate easier integrations with protocols that want to interact with yield bearing fungible tokens. |

# 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.maple.finance/technical-resources/protocol-overview/composability.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.
