# Flashloans

Liquidswap V1 enables users to borrow liquidity from pools, utilize it within any third-party DeFi protocol or even another Liquidswap pool, and then return the borrowed liquidity along with the pool's standard fee. 

This entire process—loaning and returning liquidity—must be completed within a single transaction. This ensures that Liquidswap's liquidity remains intact, as it's not possible to separate the loan and return actions into different transactions.

The Flashloan feature in Liquidswap V1 is inspired by the 'Hot Potato' concept, which is detailed further in a [Medium article](https://medium.com/@borispovod/move-hot-potato-pattern-bbc48a48d93c). At its core, this concept leverages the capabilities of the Move language, allowing the creation of a special kind of structure. This structure is designed with specific abilities, making it impossible to copy, drop, or store; it can only be destructed.

Here's how a Flashloan operates in Liquidswap V1:

## 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.liquidswap.com/liquidswap-v1-docs/integration/flashloans.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.
