# Why?

> :interrobang: **CURRENT PROCESS**
>
> Imagine this: you don’t wake up one day thinking, “I want to do a million-dollar token swap just for fun!” Instead, you’re rebalancing a portfolio, getting better returns, or paying vendors and employees.
>
> But right now, this process is a headache. You’d have to open 20+ browser tabs, make each move manually, and deal with confusing tech that’s hard to understand. Plus, you’re exposed to risks and scams along the way.

### <mark style="color:blue;">The Car and the Intent: A Story of Simplicity and Adoption</mark>

* **Current Web3:** Imagine you love cars and enjoy fixing engines, tuning gears, and understanding every little part. For you, driving is not just about getting somewhere; it’s about the thrill of knowing how everything works. Web3 is currently run by similar tech enthusiasts.
* **Web3 with Intents:** But most people aren’t like that. They just want a car that starts with the push of a button and gets them to work, school, or the store without any trouble. They don’t care how the engine works—they just need it to run smoothly.

That’s why cars became popular only when they got easy to use, with automatic gears and reliable engines. This is what Decimal is set out to do for Web3.

# 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://wiki.decimal.at/x-dump/why.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.
