# Fractionality

Minotaur.Money has implemented Fractionality code to account for protocol reserves more flexibly. The underlying TIME/OHM code requires the number of tokens in the treasury to equal or exceed the number of native tokens in existence, but it does not account for the values of individual reserve tokens. Minotaur.Money has a changeable Fractionality variable that allows fractional reserves: the treasury can be required to maintain a number of tokens as small as 1% of the number of MINO tokens in existence.&#x20;

Allowing the treasury to contain fewer tokens accomplishes several goals:

* Accounts for higher-valued reserve tokens: the underlying code assumes that single reserve tokens have USD stablecoin valuations in determining whether to allow minting. Fractionality allows us to correctly account for high-valued reserve tokens such as WBTC.
* Permits liquidity farming: additional income can be earned by using treasury funds for liquidity farming in other protocols. Tokens must be withdrawn from the treasury and deposited in those other protocols in order to participate.
* Enables cross-chain deployment: treasury reserves can be deposited in protocols across multiple blockchains if fractional reserves are allowed.
* Decentralized VC: the DAO can make early-stage investments in other dApp products, including technology acquisitions, that could generate income for the protocol.

## 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://minotaur-money.gitbook.io/minotaur.money/protocol/fractionality.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.
