Onboarding

The key to the success and broad adoption of Gear technology lies in its ease of use and fast onboarding process, especially for program developers.

To facilitate this, a comprehensive knowledge hub, the Vara Wiki, is available. This resource includes detailed information for developers about Gear's components, Rust libraries, how to build, run, and interact with the Node, and how to write and test programs.

The Wiki also offers multiple examples of programs and smart contracts for popular use cases such as token standards (fungible, non-fungible, and more), games, DeFi, infrastructure, auctions, supply chain, ZK, DAO, and more. Some smart contract examples are accompanied by user interface implementations that demonstrate integration capabilities between the frontend/backend and smart contracts on the Gear Network.

Alongside the Wiki is Gear IDEA, a tool that provides developers with an easy and efficient way to deploy programs to the Vara network and interact with them directly in their browser. It's designed to make it easier for developers to get familiar with the Gear Protocol, manage accounts and balances, observe transaction events, and more.
