Key concepts
============
This section describes the key concepts and features of the Corda platform. It is intended for readers who are new to
Corda, and want to understand its architecture. It does not contain any code, and is suitable for non-developers.
This section should be read in order:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
key-concepts-ecosystem
key-concepts-ledger
key-concepts-states
key-concepts-contracts
key-concepts-transactions
key-concepts-flows
key-concepts-consensus
key-concepts-notaries
key-concepts-time-windows
key-concepts-oracles
key-concepts-node
key-concepts-tearoffs
key-concepts-tradeoffs
key-concepts-djvm
The detailed thinking and rationale behind these concepts are presented in two white papers:
* `Corda: An Introduction`_
* `Corda: A Distributed Ledger`_ (A.K.A. the Technical White Paper)
Explanations of the key concepts are also available as `videos <https://vimeo.com/album/4555732/>`_.
