# Guides

Using Alluvial APIs makes it easy to onboard and interact with the Liquid Collective protocol.

There are two types of Liquid Collective Platforms. Platforms either:

* **Enable mint/redeem**: These Platforms enable direct Liquid Collective protocol interactions, including depositing ETH to Ethereum's deposit contract and redeeming LsETH for ETH (minting and redeeming). These Platforms offer KYC/AML and Sanctions Screening procedures for their users, then submit the user's wallet address to Liquid Collective's Allowlist smart contract upon successful completion.
* **Enable secondary interactions**: These Platforms do not enable minting, redeeming, or direct Liquid Collective protocol interactions, but do enable secondary protocol interactions such as trading, lending, or other services not required to Allowlist KYC/AML and Sanctions Screened wallet addresses. Users of these Platforms can seamlessly interact with LsETH, and may accrue Ethereum's consensus and execution layer network rewards simply by holding LsETH.

There are two lists that Platforms can interact with:

* Allowlist: Any address added to this list can mint and/or burn directly with the Liquid Collective protocol. Only wallets that have on-ramped via a mint/redeemed enabled Platform can be added to this list.
* On-Platform: Platforms that **only** enable secondary interactions can only add wallets to the On-Platform list, and cannot interact with the Allowlist smart contract. When a wallet address is added to the Allowlist it is also automatically added to the On-Platform list. This list is used for calculating Platform rebates.

Below are two guides for Platforms to add their users to the appropriate lists.
