# Computation

The Computation Layer covers smart contracts (automations), business logic, and workflows on XION.

### Overview

Smart contracts on XION are built using CosmWasm and enable:

* **Business Logic**: Automate workflows and processes
* **State Management**: Store and manage application state
* **Integration**: Connect with other XION features (accounts, payments, verification)

### Quick Start

Get started quickly with pre-built app templates:

### Local Development

Learn how to set up your development environment and deploy your first contract:
