Vara Incentivized Testnet Guide — Step by Step.
Vara Network is a blockchain platform based on the Gear Protocol, which simplifies the blockchain development process. Here are the main advantages and characteristics of this project:
- Simplified Development: Vara Network and Gear Protocol aim to simplify blockchain application development. They allow developers to write code in familiar programming languages such as WebAssembly, making blockchain technology more accessible;
- Decentralization: Vara Network will operate on the Gear and Substrate protocols, which will ensure decentralization and compatibility with the Polkadot ecosystem;
- Permissionless System: The Vara Network system will use validators to ensure security and scalability, making the network open, permissionless and censorship resistant;
- Potential Applications: The Vara Network project explores a number of potential applications in various industries, including the gaming industry and DeFi (decentralized finance), thanks to its fast and accessible transaction environment;
- DAO support:Vara Network is suitable for the creation and operation of DAOs, providing tools for automating processes and ensuring security;
- More opportunities for developers: Vara Network provides an environment for developing decentralized applications (dApps) with minimal blockchain knowledge. This could encourage greater adoption of blockchain technology.
Gear Technologies has raised $12 million in a private equity round led by Blockchange Ventures.
The project docs indicate that 7% of $VARA tokens are to be allocated for an airdrop. It is very likely that paid testnet participants, if all conditions are met, will be able to claim this reward. Details on how to complete testnet tasks will be presented in our guide.
