This documentation guides you through the API-based and browser-based interfaces. It includes documentation of the following components:

* The [Distributor API](https://docs.cashlink.de/distributor-api) to create accounts for investors and manage their wallets
* The [Issuer API](https://docs.cashlink.de/issuer-api) and [Cashlink Studio](https://docs.cashlink.de/issuer-cashlink-studio) to create issuers and products and make them available for distribution on distribution platforms
* The [Registry Smart Contracts](https://docs.cashlink.de/registry-smart-contracts) - the on-ledger crypto securities registry that can be used to query on-ledger data and instruct transfers of crypto securities
