Closed Source Testing

Closed Source Testing – GearUp Factory

Privately test your smart contract templates before publishing or sharing them publicly.

GearUp Factory gives developers full control over how and when their templates are revealed. With Closed Source Testing, you can simulate, test, and optimize your smart contract logic while keeping the source code hidden from public access.

This feature is ideal for:

• Developers working on premium templates for monetization

• Projects conducting internal audits before release

• Teams preparing new mechanics or experimental contracts

• Third-party contributors submitting to the marketplace securely

---

🔐 What is Closed Source Testing?

Closed Source Testing is a private sandbox environment within GearUp Factory that allows:

• Building and simulating contracts without exposing Solidity code

• Testing schema-based templates visually using Studio-compatible interfaces

• Sharing contracts for review with GearUp’s internal security team or pre-approved contributors only

• Running performance, gas, and logic simulations prior to marketplace listing

Your logic remains encrypted and only visible to you (and optionally the GearUp review team).

⚙️ How It Works

1. Create a new template using the GearUp Factory editor

2. Enable Closed Source Mode in the settings sidebar

3. Compile and validate logic

4. Simulate the template’s behavior in the closed sandbox

5. Submit for internal audit (optional)

6. Choose when to unlock/publicize it (e.g. on deployment or after purchase)

Templates remain under your ownership at all times.

🧪 Supported Testing Features

• Simulate deploy and runtime behaviors

• Validate schema.json and input flow

• Run gas and edge case stress testing

• Simulate write + read functions via block editor

• Enable preview mode for internal team sharing (link-based)

---

🔍 Internal Review Mode (Optional)

You may optionally allow GearUp’s review team to:

• Perform code-level security scans

• Offer optimization tips or feedback

• Approve for Verified status in Marketplace

• Provide feedback without disclosing the code to anyone else

You can revoke access anytime.

🛡️ Use Cases for Closed Source Testing

Use Case	Why It Matters
Premium Marketplace Templates	Protect monetizable logic pre-launch
Pre-Launch Audit Submissions	Run pre-publish security testing
Team-Built Internal Tools	Keep protocol IP private during testing
Competitive/Experimental Logic	Build edge mechanics without copy exposure

---

🧠 Notes

• All closed source templates are hashed with time-lock proofs

• Only the author can deploy or unlock them

• Any misuse or exploit attempt triggers lock + revocation

GearUp gives devs a safe zone to test and build — with zero pressure to go public until you’re ready.
