# Who is Alluvial?

Alluvial is a software development company supporting the development of the Liquid Collective protocol. We're focused on the overall growth and maturity of the ecosystem by fostering participation in proof of stake blockchains.

To learn more about the Liquid Collective protocol and how it works, check out Liquid Collective's [documentation](https://docs.liquidcollective.io/v1/).

## New to Alluvial's documentation?

The Alluvial docs have three key sections:

1. [Guides](https://docs.alluvial.finance/guides): This section contains several step by step guides for how technical teams can implement key Liquid Staking flows.
2. [APIs](https://docs.alluvial.finance/api-reference): This section shows all the raw API requests that Liquid Collective Platforms can call.
3. [Third party integration guides](https://docs.alluvial.finance/third-party-guides): This section includes guides for how to interact with the Liquid Collective protocol via other software platforms.

### Helpful tips

If you are an engineer or technical person, looking to understand the level of effort or work involved in implementing the key flows (ETH staking and LsETH redemptions) then we recommend reviewing the [staking](https://docs.alluvial.finance/guides/staking) and [redemption](https://docs.alluvial.finance/guides/redemptions) guides. The [architecture guide](https://docs.alluvial.finance/guides/architecture) is a helpful compliment to these key guides.
