# Makers Makers are participants or entities within the Mangrove ecosystem who are responsible for creating and listing offers on the platform. They can specify the conditions of their offers, such as the type and quantity of assets to be exchanged, the price, and any other relevant terms. For example, they promise to give a Taker some apples 🍎 if he gives them oranges 🍊 in return. By initiating these offers, Makers enable transactions to occur within the Mangrove Protocol, contributing to a vibrant market. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
