Transaction Fees, Open-source
What is Vara Network?
Vara Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built with the Gear Protocol, a WebAssembly execution engine that uses the Actor model so every smart contract is an isolated, message-passing program. The chain supports persistent memory and gasless transactions through a delayed-message system, and is paired with Vara.eth, an Ethereum-compatible layer that extends Vara contracts to EVM users. VARA is the native staking and fee token.
