+title: Tezos Domain-Specific Operations
+---
+
+LIGO is a language for writing Tezos smart contracts. It would be a little odd if
+it didn't have any Tezos specific functions. This page will tell you about them.
+
+## Pack and Unpack
+
+Michelson provides the `PACK` and `UNPACK` instructions for data serialization.
+`PACK` converts Michelson data structures to a binary format, and `UNPACK`
+reverses it. This functionality can be accessed from within LIGO.
+
+> ⚠️ There should be a message here about the dangers of using `UNPACK` on untrusted
+data, perhaps about executable code?
