# Aria Protocol Docs

Welcome to the documentation for Aria Protocol

This document serves as a comprehensive resource for both new users and technically inclined users looking to understand or build on the Aria Protocol.

### **For New Users**

We recommend starting with the **Quickstart Guide**, available at [Quickstart Guide](/about-aria/quickstart-guide.md).  which walks you through the entire onboarding process — from creating a wallet and funding it with $IP (used for transaction fees) to staking your tokens and earning royalty rewards.

### For Developers and Technical Users

For technical users or developers, we have extensive documentation available under the [Technical Docs](/technical-docs/contract-docs.md) section. This includes detailed explanations of system architecture, fund flow, admin permissions, liquidity mechanics, and smart contract interfaces — everything you need to understand how Aria works under the hood.
