------ Hesitate? NO!

2. Why Gear's Hacker House?

BUT why not? The non-EVM blockchain ecosystem is developing at an impressive speed, bringing new possibilities and prospects to blockchain technology. Currently, the congestion issues and high transaction fees of Ethereum are prompting people to explore other blockchain platforms. Non-EVM blockchains have become a hot topic in the blockchain field due to their technological innovations, performance improvements, and ecosystem expansions. In the non-EVM ecosystem, blockchain platforms such as Polkadot, Solana, Avalanche, and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) provide higher performance and lower transaction costs for developers and users by adopting new consensus mechanisms, scalability solutions, and smart contract technologies. As more projects and developers join, the non-EVM ecosystem will continue to grow, achieving remarkable breakthroughs in various fields, paving the way for broader application scenarios, and realizing larger-scale application implementations. And this is exactly what Gear Protocol and Vara Network are currently doing. Gear Protocol is committed to exploring and improving the technical architecture of the non-EVM ecosystem, using Actor Model, Wasm, and persistent memory based on the Substrate framework, ensuring high performance, low cost, while enhancing security, scalability, and user experience.

The new generation fast, scalable high-performance Layer 1 decentralized network ------ Vara Network, built on Gear Protocol, possesses unique technical advantages, providing an excellent development experience for the next generation of games, finance, and various innovative applications through parallel computing and asynchronous calls, allowing developers and users to explore the infinite possibilities of Web3 technology. During the Wanxiang Blockchain Week, Gear Foundation supports the launch of Gear's Hacker House, starting a 7-day, 6-night free accommodation Hacker House journey in Shanghai, calling on developer friends interested in the non-EVM ecosystem to cohabit and co-create, brainstorm, and build innovative applications, contributing to the non-EVM ecosystem! In the Hacker House, you will have the opportunity to interact with developers, technical experts, and industry leaders from around the world, share ideas, discuss innovations, and explore how to build outstanding applications and solutions on non-EVM blockchains. We will provide rich technical discussions, workshops, project demos, and creative activities to help you gain a deeper understanding of the potential of the non-EVM ecosystem. Let us shape a more open and promising non-EVM ecosystem together.

JOIN US NOW!!!

? Time: September 16 -- September 22

⏳ Duration: 7 days

? Location: Shanghai

? Number of recruits: 10 - 15 people

? Free accommodation Theme: Exploring new possibilities in the non-EVM ecosystem: Building decentralized applications on Vara Network

The theme of this Gear's Hacker House is completely open, with no restrictions, and everyone can choose the track they are interested in, breaking conventions and unleashing your inspiration.

The following are some tracks for reference:

Note: "Infinite games" is a concept from game theory first proposed by philosopher James P. Carse in his book "Finite and Infinite Games." In this theory, there are two types of games: finite games and infinite games. Finite games have clear rules and definite outcomes, while infinite games have no fixed rules and no ultimate winners.

In the blockchain and crypto space, "infinite games" refer to a type of project or application that has no endpoint, which do not pursue a definite winning state but continuously evolve and develop. These projects emphasize community collaboration, innovation, and sustainability rather than simple competition and winning. In this infinite game environment, participants can continuously collaborate, create, and progress without the constraints of time and outcomes. Recruitment Requirements:
