# Pods
## What are Pods?
Pods are wrapped assets which consist of one or multiple underlying assets (TKN).
A Pod can take the form of an index by [wrapping](#wrapping) multiple assets, or a synthetic version of a singular asset. All Pods are backed 1:1 by the underlying assets at the time of creation. This ratio will never decrease, however, it can increase if a Pod includes a pTKN burn fee (see [Protocol Fees](/pods-2/fees.md)).
Pods are represented by vault shares, and receipt (pTKN) holders can [unwrap](#unwrapping) their assets at any time to retrieve a share of the underlying assets equal to their share of the relevant Pod at any time.
## Multi-Asset Pods
All multi-asset Pods on Peapods have a set weight per asset that make up the Pod when created. These Pods do not depend on the market value of the tokens and anyone can create them at any time.
## Decentralized & Trustless
In contrast to conventional and certain crypto methodologies which function off a more centralized asset management style of structure, our framework is entirely decentralized which means that there is no central management from the team or any individual at any stage after a Pod has been launched.
Investors can engage autonomously and, by becoming a fund liquidity provider, earn fees based on asset volatility.

## 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.peapods.finance/pods-2.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
