# Stellar Data Structures

> Learn about blockchain data structures, including accounts, transactions, assets, and ledgers. Understand how they work together to make the network function.

The fundamental data structures and building blocks present on the Stellar network.

> [card] [Ledgers](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/learn/fundamentals/stellar-data-structures/ledgers.md)
>
> A ledger captures the state of the Stellar network at a point in time, storing accounts, balances, orders, smart contract data, and other persistent information.

> [card] [Events](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/learn/fundamentals/stellar-data-structures/events.md)
>
> Monitor off-chain movement of value and smart contract changes.

> [card] [Accounts](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/learn/fundamentals/stellar-data-structures/accounts.md)
>
> Learn about accounts on the Stellar network, including how they store balances, sign transactions, and interact with assets, smart contracts, and other features.

> [card] [Assets](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/learn/fundamentals/stellar-data-structures/assets.md)
>
> Learn how assets work on the Stellar network, including issuing, transferring, and managing tokens. Explore trustlines, using assets in smart contracts, & more.

> [card] [Smart Contracts](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/learn/fundamentals/stellar-data-structures/contracts.md)
>
> A smart contract is a programmed set of executable code and state that can be invoked on the Stellar network.
