## Contributors

You will find here how Marinade is organised and how to join.

### Team Structure

Marinade's contributors are organised into teams rather than the two mDAO-era workgroups the DAO started with. The current teams are:

1. **Engineering:** Protocol and product engineering, DevOps, data and security. Owns the on-chain programs, the app, the APIs and the infrastructure behind them.
2. **Product:** Product direction and design across Marinade Native, Marinade Liquid, Select, Recipes, Borrow and the USDC vault.
3. **Partnerships:** Integrations, institutional and custodian relationships, technical sales and user support.
4. **BizOps:** Finance, legal, compliance, HR and operations.
5. **Marketing:** Brand, content and communications.
6. **Management:** Company direction and coordination across the teams above.

Governance sits with MNDE holders rather than with any of these teams. See MNDE Governance for how proposals are discussed, voted and executed, and for the split of powers between MNDE holders and the Marinade Council.

# 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.marinade.finance/marinade-dao/contributors.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.
