The vision for Gear is to empower developers to create and deploy next-generation Web3.0 applications in the easiest and most efficient way possible.\n\n## :fire: Key Features\n\n- **Unique** :crown: : The main idea underpinning the Gear Protocol is the Actor model for message communications - secure, effective, clear.\n- **Unique** :crown: : Parallelizable architecture ensures even greater speed.\n- **Unique** :crown: : Continued messaging automation through delayed messages enables truly on-chain dApps.\n- **Unique** :crown: : Built-in Actors to provide programs with enhanced access to pallets and to offload high-load computations off-chain.\n- **Unique** :crown: : Create a dApp in minutes using Gear Protocol's libraries.\n- Programs run in a Wasm VM, enabling near-native code execution speed.\n- Based on Substrate, Gear Protocol ensures fork-less upgrades and compatibility with other blockchains.\n\n## Capabilities\n\n- Gear Protocol provides dApp developers with a very minimal, intuitive, and sufficient API for writing custom-logic programs in Rust and running them on Gear-powered networks, such as the Vara Network.\n- It provides a technological foundation for constructing highly scalable and rapid decentralized Layer-1 networks.\n- Reduces the computational burden on blockchains by offloading highly intensive calculations using a Vara node with Wasm VM, and then proving the correctness of these calculations on any blockchain.\n- A Vara node can be used as a standalone instance running microservices, middleware, open API, and more.\n\nFor more details refer to the **[Gear Whitepaper](https://whitepaper.gear.foundation)**.\n\nRefer to the **[Technical Paper](https://github.com/gear-tech/gear-technical/blob/master/TECHNICAL.pdf)** for some insights about how it works internally.\n\n# Getting Started\n\n1. :book: Visit **[Gear Wiki](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/)** to get all the details about how to start implementing your own blockchain application.\n    1. Follow the instructions from [\"Getting started in 5 minutes\"](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/docs/getting-started-in-5-minutes/) to compile your first Rust test program to Wasm.\n    2. Upload and run the program on the Vara Network Testnet via **[Gear Idea](https://idea.gear-tech.io/programs?node=wss%3A%2F%2Ftestnet.vara.network)**, send a message to a program and read the program's state.\n2. :scroll: Write your own program or take one from the comprehensive [examples library](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/docs/examples/prerequisites) as a basis for a convenient and swift onboarding process.\n    1. Explore dApp examples in action and gain a deeper understanding of their functionalities. Write your own program or use one from the available templates. Adapt a template according to your business needs.\n    2. [Test](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/docs/developing-contracts/testing) your program off-chain and on-chain using a [local node](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/docs/node/setting-up).\n    3. Then upload it via Gear Idea to the [Vara Network](https://idea.gear-tech.io/programs?node=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.vara.network).\n3. :microscope: Dive into the documentation on Gear Protocol crates at [сrates.io](https://crates.io/teams/github:gear-tech:dev). Particular attention should be paid to - [sails_rs](https://crates.io/crates/sails_rs), [gstd](https://crates.io/crates/gstd), [gcore](https://crates.io/crates/gcore), [gtest](https://crates.io/crates/gtest), [gsdk](https://crates.io/crates/gsdk). More details can be found in the Documentation section for each crate.\n\n4. :iphone: Implement a frontend application that interacts with your program using the [JS API](https://github.com/gear-tech/gear-js/tree/main/api). React application examples are available [here](https://github.com/gear-foundation/dapps/tree/master/frontend/apps).\n\n# Run Vara Node\n\n### Get the binaries\n\nTo build Vara node binaries from source follow the step-by-step instructions provided in [Node README](https://github.com/gear-tech/gear/tree/master/node/README.md).\n\nAlternatively, you can download pre-built packages for your OS/architecture:\n\n  - **macOS M-series (ARM)**: [gear-nightly-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.xz](https://get.gear.rs/gear-nightly-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.xz)\n  - **macOS Intel x64**: [gear-nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz](https://get.gear.rs/gear-nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz)\n  - **Linux x64**: [gear-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz](https://get.gear.rs/gear-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz)\n  - **Windows x64**: [gear-nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip](https://get.gear.rs/gear-nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip)\n\n\n### Run Vara Dev network locally\n\nRunning the following command will start a single-node Vara Dev net with two users - Alice and Bob:\n\n  ```bash\n  gear --dev\n  ```\n\n# Performance\n\nPerformance charts can be seen here: https://gear-tech.github.io/performance-charts.\n\n# Contribution\n\nYou can request a new feature by [creating a new issue](https://github.com/gear-tech/gear/issues/new/choose) or discuss it with us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/7BQznC9uD9).\nHere are some features in progress or planned: https://github.com/gear-tech/gear/issues\n\n# License\n\nGear Protocol is licensed under [GPL v3.0 with a classpath linking exception](LICENSE).\n\n##\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\" nowrap\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/gear_techs\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"./images/social-icon-1.svg\" alt=\"twit\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" \u003e\n    \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/gear-tech\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"./images/social-icon-2.svg\" alt=\"github\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" \u003e\n    \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https://discord.gg/7BQznC9uD9\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"./images/social-icon-3.svg\" alt=\"discord\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" \u003e\n    \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@gear_techs\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"./images/social-icon-4.svg\" alt=\"medium\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" \u003e\n    \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https://t.me/gear_tech\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"./images/social-icon-5.svg\" alt=\"medium\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" \u003e\n   \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e •\n    \u003ca href=\"https://gear-tech.io\"\u003e\n      About us\n    \u003c/a\u003e •\n    \u003ca href=\"https://wiki.gear-tech.io/\" nowrap\u003e\n      Gear Wiki\n    \u003c/a\u003e •\n    \u003ca href=\"https://gear.foundation/news\"\u003e\n      News\n    \u003c/a\u003e •\n      \u003ca href=\"https://gear.foundation/events\"\u003e\n      Events\n    \u003c/a\u003e •\n    \u003ca href=\"https://vara.network/\"\u003e\n      Vara Network\n    \u003c/a\u003e •\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/h4\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgear-tech%2Fgear","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgear-tech%2Fgear","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgear-tech%2Fgear/lists"}
