**What is Substrate and why was it created?**


Substrate can be described as a blockchain framework that’s purpose is to help build customized blockchains. It enables developers to quickly and easily build future-proof networks that are optimized for almost any and every use case. It takes the hard work out of blockchain development, without imposing restricting limits that other frameworks are guilty of doing.

**A very short history of blockchain technology**


The first real use case of blockchain technology was in 2008, when Bitcoin was initially introduced. Bitcoin introduced new ways of facilitating digital financial transactions that did not require traditional financial intermediaries. However, although at the time this was revolutionary, in this state, blockchain technology couldn’t be used for much else.


The original iteration of blockchain technology was in a way comparable to the first evolution of websites. With this technology, you could do something that was new and impressive, but its fundamental functionality was severely limited. When blockchain technology was improved however, new possibilities arose, which meant that the second iteration of blockchain technology could be comparable to the introduction of Javascript to web pages. Now developers could build richer, more dynamic applications that greatly impacted user experience.

November is here and we are back with our updates from the past month! We would like to start with highlighting the important announcements we made in October.

Gear Monthly Updates: October 2022

October was a busy month for us. We managed to successfully host two workshops, where we shared our blockchain knowledge and experience with the next generation of programmers. The first workshop was an offline seminar held at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. The second workshop was held online with students from the University of California, San Diego. Both workshops covered the fundamentals about the Polkadot ecosystem and the attendees even managed to write their first smart contracts using Gear! And although we were busy hosting these educational events, we were still strenuously working on the development of the Gear platform.

In October, we wrote our custom Asynchronous Mutex, which allows programs to exclusively lock some data and make sure it is not mutated by other messages while locked. Along with Asynchronous Mutex we wrote Asynchronous RwLock — a reader-writer lock, that allows more fine-grained async data locks.

The very first iteration of the internet was known as Web 1.0 and
it can be defined as static websites that simply only display readable
information. Because of this, web users could only browse but not virtually
interact with a website. Consequently, the use cases for Web 1.0 technology
were severely limited.

The term “message-passing communication” effectively describes the way that
programs communicate. Message-passing has benefits over “shared memory
communication” as message passing is easier to understand, it’s more robust,
and it has better performance capabilities.


The way that programs, or in this case Smart Contracts, communicate is very important because it’s a factor that contributes to the overall effectiveness of the program.

A decentralized autonomous organization, or a DAO for short, is a new type of
way to run organizations or institutions that enable individuals to work
together for a specific cause in transparent, fair and honest ways.


DAOs are great ways to safely contribute to specific causes with peers, who you may or may not know, around the world. On top of being great ways to collaborate with strangers, DAOs are also safe places to commit funds to a specific cause no matter what that might be.

A decentralized autonomous organization, or a DAO for short, is a new type of way to run organizations or institutions that enable individuals to work together for a specific cause in transparent, fair and honest ways.

What are DAOs and how do they fit into the Gear Network?

In this article, we will be exploring what non-fungible tokens are,
what makes them different from typical cryptocurrencies, what the greatest use
cases for NFTs are and why developing non-fungible token technology on the
Gear Network is a perfect way of contributing to building the future of the
internet.

We’ve prepared an article explaining why NFTs are fantastic innovations that can be used in everyday life!


What are non-fungible tokens and what are their biggest use cases?

Gear is a self-contained blockchain network and the most advanced smart
contract platform on the Polkadot and Kusama network. It enables developers to
deploy decentralized applications in the easiest and most efficient ways
possible. On Gear, all smart contracts are WebAssembly programs that are
compiled in different programming languages. Because of this, the barrier to
entry for dApp developers is lowered as developers that’re not so familiar
with typical blockchain-based programming languages can build decentralized
applications in environments with familiar programming languages.


Gear enables dApps to enter the promising Polkadot ecosystem without having to win an auction or become a parachian. This means that developers can negate the extremely high entry costs of entering the Polkadot ecosystem and deploy much, much quicker.

Key Takeaway — WebAssembly is a game-changing technology. It allows developers
to build applications for the web that can run at near-native speeds. It
combines highly optimized code with very small binaries that enables large
applications to run very fast and smoothly via the web. This improved speed
and efficiency, combined with the possibility of user interaction without
download or installation processes is why WebAssembly is being called “the
future of the web”.


Imagine a world where you can build software with any programming language and deliver that software to the end user directly in a web browser, without any installation and with near native performance. This development utopia, that once seemed unimaginable, recently became a reality with the introduction of WebAssembly (WASM for short).

Key Takeaway — WebAssembly is a game-changing technology.

What is the WebAssembly Virtual Machine & Why should you use it?

A brief history of the internet…
Web 1.0 was the very first iteration of the internet. This era can primarily be categorised by static websites that could only display information. This would allow users to browse, but not interact with data on a website. This ultimately meant that use cases for Web 1.0 technology were severely limited. Essentially, users of Web 1.0 technologies were passive consumers of content.
As we moved into the late 90s, search engines like Google started to introduce new possibilities to the internet. This enabled websites to become more interactive. This iteration of web technologies introduced much more improved and sophisticated user interfaces that were much more interactive and immersive. Now, we could build actual interactive applications instead of just displaying content online. Social networking and ecommerce exploded thanks to these new possibilities and this era of the web can be defined as Web 2.0.

What makes Gear unique and what are the benefits of deploying on Gear?

**What is Rust?**


Rust is a multi-paradigm programming language that’s focused on safety and performance. It was built with speed and efficiency in mind, which means that it can provide zero-cost abstractions and functional features, which for many developers, solves the common problems with other low-level languages like C and C++.

Why Does Gear Use Rust?

**Overview**


WebAssembly (WASM) is a standard developed by W3C Community Group, which defines a low-level binary code format for executable programs that run in browsers. While it was developed to enable high-performance applications to run in browsers, it can also run as a standalone virtual machine.


WebAssembly executables are precompiled, which makes it possible to use a wide variety of programming languages to build and run applications in browsers. There are no preferences for languages and currently dozens of languages can compile to, or have their VM’s, in WASM. Moreover, WASM is hardware-independent and it can be compiled on any modern architectures, desktops and even mobile devices, albeit with some limitations.
