Here you can find guides on how to navigate Yo-Ga-X based service ecosystems.

In :doc:`/getting-started/becoming-a-participant` we'll give a bit of background on the first important step, namely the onboarding of participants onto the federation.

To actually join, take a look at our :doc:`/getting-started/participant-onboarding-guide`.

Then, you can find guides on using the service ecosystem from the point of view of:

- a Consumer --- a Participant intending to use Services (:doc:`/getting-started/consumer-guides/index`), and
- a Provider --- a Participant intending to provide Services to others (:doc:`/getting-started/provider-guides/index`).
