Solana is (currently) a smaller development environment than Ethereum and other major blockchain spaces, and we realize many users may be non-technical or are looking for a general overview as to how to use SolSplits. If you have a technical background and want to learn how to quickly integrate SolSplits into your existing system, feel free to skip down to [Product Guides](/product-guides/splits.md) and [Integrations](/integrations/bulk-upload-migration-tool.md). ### What is a Smart Contract?
