## Entrypoints ## Entrypoints
Each LIGO smart contract is essentially a single function, that has the following *(pseudo)* type signature: Each LIGO smart contract is essentially a single main function, referring to the following types:

This means that every smart contract needs at least one entrypoint function, here's an example: Each main function receives two arguments:
- `parameter` - this is the parameter received in the invocation operation
- `storage` - this is the current (real) on-chain storage value
Storage can only be modified by running the smart contract entrypoint, which is responsible for returning a pair holding a list of operations, and a new storage.
Here is an example of a smart contract main function:

Each entrypoint function receives two arguments: A contract entrypoints are the constructors of the parameter type (variant) and you must use pattern matching (`case`, `match`, `switch`) on the parameter in order to associate each entrypoint to its corresponding handler.
- `parameter` - this is the parameter received in the invocation operation
- `storage` - this is the current (real) on-chain storage value
Storage can only be modified by running the smart contract entrypoint, which is responsible for returning a list of operations, and a new storage at the end of it's execution. > The Ligo variant's are compiled to Michelson annotated pairs.
