# Contract Relationships

## Lender <-> MarketPlace

The Lender is related to the MarketPlace contract. Primarily, it relies on the MarketPlace for information about the available markets. MarketPlace contains a `markets` mapping that stores principal tokens for a given market.

## Redeemer <-> MarketPlace

Similar to the Lender, the Redeemer relies on the MarketPlace contract for information about markets.&#x20;

## Redeemer <-> Converter

The Redeemer relies on the Converter contract to convert redeemed assets to the underlying asset for a given market. Specifically, Pendle and Sense redeem to the compounding asset. As a convenience to users, we convert these assets on behalf of users via the Converter contract.

## 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://docs.illuminate.finance/smart-contracts/contract-relationships.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.
