**Target Protocol Adapters** are smart contracts that act as dedicated adapters for managing liquidity within specific protocols. These adapters receive commands from [the gigaAsset Manager](https://docs.enjoyoors.xyz/system-architecture/gigaassets) to allocate [gigaAssets ](https://docs.enjoyoors.xyz/system-architecture/gigaassets)to their respective [target protocols](https://docs.enjoyoors.xyz/system-architecture/public-blockchain-infrastructure/target-protocols) and serve as the execution layer for liquidity operations. When liquidity needs to be rebalanced or redirected, the adapters facilitate the withdrawal of gigaAssets.&#x20;

Adapters also periodically claim rewards earned from target protocols and transfer them to the [Rewards Treasury](https://docs.enjoyoors.xyz/system-architecture/public-blockchain-infrastructure/rewards-treasury).
