# Phron smart contracts basics

**This brief tutorial will introduce you to the basics of smart contract functionality on the Phron Testnet. In the following sections, we'll guide you through setting up your Testnet account, preparing your computer for smart contract development, writing, compiling, and deploying your contracts, and finally, interacting with your deployed smart contracts.**

*Note: Smart contracts are now also live on the Phron Mainnet.*
