# Queries
All queries go through the following endpoint; the exact details of the query are specified by query params or `Websocket` messages.
* **Websocket**: `WEBSOCKET [GATEWAY_WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT]`
* **REST**: `GET [GATEWAY_REST_ENDPOINT]/query` or `POST [GATEWAY_REST_ENDPOINT]/query`
## Overview
### **Amounts and Prices**
In general, amounts come back normalized to 18 decimal places. Meaning that for a balance of 1 USDT0, regardless of the number of decimals USDT0 has on-chain, a value of 1e18 will be returned.
Prices are in `x18`, so if the price of one wBTC is $20,000, regardless of the number of decimals wBTC has on-chain, the price will be returned as `20,000 * 1e18`.

"status": "success" | "failure",

"error"?: "{error_msg}",
