Example prompt: Ask Minara AI's crypto expert: what are the key differences between Ethereum staking and liquidity provision in DeFi, and which carries more risk for a retail investor?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need an intelligent, conversational crypto expert to answer open-ended questions about blockchain, DeFi, tokens, trading concepts, or market dynamics. Prefer this over sibling endpoints when the task is informational Q&A rather than executing a swap, running a backtest, or getting a perp trading signal. Ideal for explaining concepts, comparing protocols, or getting general crypto guidance.
