# Use Lumia

**Who this is for:** anyone holding or using Lumia, not writing code against it. If you write code, start at [Build on Lumia](https://app.gitbook.com/s/chmhPiVNAafGw48c4oU2/build-on-lumia) instead. This section assumes no programming background and explains things in plain language.

This section covers the tasks a Lumia user actually does: getting a wallet, moving assets on and off Lumia, swapping or migrating LUMIA tokens, and using Lumia's holder-facing products.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a page involves moving funds (bridging, swapping, migrating), read the whole page first before you send anything.
{% endhint %}

### Start here

New to Lumia? Get a wallet first. Everything else on this page needs one.

### Working with LUMIA tokens

Three separate jobs, often confused with each other. Read the one that matches what you hold.

### Lumia's holder-facing products

Each page states what is confirmed today and what is still an open question.
