 With Vara Network and Gear Protocol working hand in hand, the world of smart contracts becomes more accessible and dynamic, offering endless possibilities for developers and users alike.
 
 ## Messaging Concept
 
 Understanding the message communication model and its benefits is of utmost importance for the safety and success of developers working with Vara Network. This innovative model is built upon the principles of the Actor Model, where all participants, including programs and users, are considered as "actors." These actors interact seamlessly by exchanging messages.
 
-To delve deeper into the development process and leverage the full potential of the message communication model, we encourage you to explore the comprehensive resources available in the [Gear Wiki](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/docs/developing-contracts/introduction). This valuable reference will provide you with clear insights and guidance on implementing smart contracts with efficiency and precision.

 ## Program Rent-Based system
 
-Vara Network introduces an innovative program life cycle management system, prioritizing sustainable and economical resource usage. Within this system, programs on the Vara network have the option to rent network resources for their memory storage. This rental concept can be likened to a time-limited subscription that allows the program to remain active and operational within the network.

 - **Stimulating Utility Token Use**: To extend the life of their programs beyond the initial expiration date, owners must pay rent using utility tokens. This mechanism incentivizes and stimulates the use of utility tokens within the Vara ecosystem. As a result, the circulation of utility tokens increases, enhancing their overall utility and promoting a healthy token economy.
 - **Promoting a Sustainable Economic Model**: Vara Network's thoughtful program life cycle approach ensures that network resources are allocated to actively maintained and useful programs. By utilizing a rent-based system, Vara fosters a sustainable economic model, wherein programs that continue to provide value can be sustained over time, leading to a healthier and more robust network.

+Gear Protocol, built on Substrate, facilitates swift dApp development. It is the most developer-friendly way to implement programs and smart contracts with arbitrary logic and of any complexity.
 
 Vara benefits from Gear Protocol's unique tech stack that includes the Actor Model, Persistent Memory and the WebAssembly virtual machine (Wasm). 
 More details can be found on **[Gear Wiki](https://wiki.gear-tech.io/docs/)**.
 
 ## Actor Model
 
-In the Actor Model for communications these programs as well as users are known as “actors”. Actors do not share their state and communicate via messages, this way adding an extra layer of security to the network. All communications are asynchronous, but logically guaranteed to be handled, which increases the achievable network speed and allows building of more sophisticated dApps.

 ## Persistent Memory
 
-The Persistent Memory concept implies that programs don't use shared storage, but rather their full state is persisted in individual memory space. Clever and effective memory virtualization techniques allow tracking memory access and ensuring that only required pages are persisted and loaded when needed. It removes many complexities smoothing the development process, while also mapping running programs and their states to more closely resemble real-life operating system primitives.

 ## Wasm
 
-WebAssembly allows the running of any bytecode in a sandboxed environment. Smart contracts in Vara are run as Wasm programs (Actors), and since Wasm can be compiled from a variety of common programming languages, it considerably lowers the barrier to entry for developers arriving from the Web2 space. 
-Enabling native speed for deterministic cross-platforms computations, Wasm is Web3 development unlocked.

 ## Network Upgrade
 
-As any software system, blockchains tend to update with security patches or other changes in the code. First blockchains had to create a fork in order to update. Each fork causes lack of stability as well as price volatility. It is difficult to coordinate updates that should be agreed by the whole community in the decentralized system.
+Like all software systems, blockchains require periodic updates for security patches and other code changes. In the early days, blockchains had to implement forks to make updates, causing instability and price fluctuations. Coordinating updates within a decentralized community proved challenging.
 
-Since Vara is based on the Substrate blockchain development framework, it supports forkless runtime upgrades. Substrate makes it possible to deploy enhanced runtime capabilities (including breaking changes) without a hard fork. Because the definition of the runtime is itself an element in a Substrate chain's state, network participants may update this value by way of an extrinsic.
