### On-Ledger Requests | ||
|
||
An on-ledger request is a Layer 1 transaction that validator nodes retrieve from the Tangle. The Tangle acts as an | ||
arbiter between users and chains and guarantees that the transaction is valid, making it the only way to transfer assets | ||
to a chain or between chains. However, it is the slowest way to invoke a smart contract. | ||
|
||
### Off-Ledger Requests | ||
|
||
If all necessary assets are in the chain already, it is possible to send a request directly to that chain's validator | ||
nodes. | ||
This way, you don’t have to wait for the Tangle to process the message, significantly reducing the overall confirmation | ||
time. | ||
Due to the shorter delay, off-ledger requests are preferred over on-ledger requests unless you need to move assets | ||
between chains or Layer 1 accounts. |
