To get the most out of the Cardano Developer Portal, you should have programming experience and a basic understanding of blockchain concepts of Cardano such as [UTxO](technical-concepts/core-blockchain-fundamentals#extended-unspent-transaction-output-eutxo), [transactions](technical-concepts/core-blockchain-fundamentals#transactions), [addresses](technical-concepts/core-blockchain-fundamentals#addresses), [key derivation](technical-concepts/wallet-key-management#key-derivation), and [networking](technical-concepts/network-communication#networking).

- [Tokens on Cardano](../native-tokens/) are not built with smart contracts. Instead, tokens are native and live on the ledger. The protocol treats them as first-class citizens, like ada. It is quite different from our peers that don’t have native tokens and need to use a smart contract to send tokens.

- [Native tokens](../native-tokens/) use the core infrastructure, and the network has to do everything else instead of running a smart contract and calling a method called 'transfer'. On Cardano, you are sending a standard transaction. This removes a layer of extra complexity and the risk of human mistakes, as the ledger handles all token-related functions.

- [Smart contracts](../smart-contracts/) work different on Cardano because of the [eUTxO model](https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/03/11/cardanos-extended-utxo-accounting-model/). Misconceptions were floating around suggesting [that Cardano only supports one transaction per block](https://sundaeswap-finance.medium.com/concurrency-state-cardano-c160f8c07575).

Smart contracts on Cardano work a bit differently from how they do on other blockchains. The key to understanding smart contracts is to first understand the [eUTXO](/docs/get-started/technical-concepts/core-blockchain-fundamentals#extended-unspent-transaction-output-eutxo) model.

Smart contracts are validator scripts that you write to validate the movement of UTXOs locked in your contract's address. You will lock UTXOs at the address of your script and then the UTXOs can only ever be spent/moved if your script allows the transaction spending it to do so.

Writing well-designed smart contracts requires you to have a solid understanding of how Cardano works in general. So, make sure that everything on this page makes sense before you start creating contracts. Many topics are described in more detail on the [Technical Concepts](/docs/get-started/technical-concepts/overview) page as well.
