# OpenR\&D Smart Contracts

### [Tasks](/open-source-initiatives/openr-and-d/openr-and-d-smart-contracts/tasks.md) <a href="#tasks" id="tasks"></a>

The Tasks contract is the heart of the OpenR\&D project. It contains all the functionality related to creating and updating tasks. It also stores all the task information and can be used standalone.

### [Escrow](/open-source-initiatives/openr-and-d/openr-and-d-smart-contracts/escrow.md) <a href="#escrow" id="escrow"></a>

The Escrow contract is used by the Tasks contract to store funds. Every task has its own escrow contract which will contain the budget of the task. Do not send funds to this contract directly, but instead, use the Tasks contract to increase the budget.

### [Task Drafts](broken://spaces/rlydSH1MIHSizkmm0cZU) <a href="#task-drafts" id="task-drafts"></a>

The Task Drafts contract is an Aragon OSx plugin. This means it can be installed into any Aragon OSx DAO. The plugin itself provides the functionality to allow anyone to create a proposal to create a certain task. This proposal will need to be approved by the governance structure of the DAO before the task is created.

## 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.openmesh.network/open-source-initiatives/openr-and-d/openr-and-d-smart-contracts.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.
