GearUp FAQ
Commonly asked questions about GearUp, answered clearly and concisely.
1. What is GearUp?
GearUp is a modular no-code and developer-focused smart contract platform designed to make building, testing, and deploying smart contracts accessible to everyone — from individuals to institutions.
2. What can I build with GearUp?
You can create a wide variety of smart contracts: multi-sig wallets, utility tokens, trading bots, automated treasury systems, staking platforms, governance contracts, and more — all without coding.
3. Do I need to know how to code to use GearUp?
No. GearUp Studio is designed for non-coders. It provides a visual block-based contract editor. If you're a developer, GearUp Factory offers advanced tools and coding environments.
4. What is Scrappy AI?
Scrappy AI is GearUp's GPT-based assistant that helps you build, debug, and optimize smart contracts. It integrates directly into both Studio and Factory environments.
5. What is $gUP and what is it used for?
$gUP is GearUp’s native token. It powers access to premium features, AI APIs, contract template usage, and enables monetization inside the GearUp ecosystem.
6. Where is GearUp launching?
GearUp will initially launch on Ethereum Mainnet. The $gUP token will be available on Uniswap V2. Multichain expansion is part of the technical roadmap.
7. Is there a token tax?
Yes. GearUp implements a 5% buy and 5% sell tax. These funds are allocated for development, operations, marketing, buybacks, and team expenses.
8. Will liquidity be locked?
Yes. 95% of the total supply will be added to initial liquidity and locked for 5 years. Any future LP additions will be locked as announced.
9. Can developers earn from GearUp?
Yes. Developers can monetize their custom templates through our marketplace using either a pay-per-deploy or license-based revenue model.
10. Is GearUp open source?
GearUp will maintain a hybrid model — core visual tools and Studio will be open-source over time, while Factory templates can be private or protected via licensing.
11. What is GearFlow?
GearFlow is a secure browser plugin and mobile app that lets users interact with dApps using smart contract intermediaries — not their wallets — for added safety and programmable access.
12. Can I test contracts before deploying?
Yes. GearUp provides a full testnet simulation environment in Studio and Factory, allowing users to safely simulate all contract behavior before deploying.
13. What are contract templates?
Templates are pre-built, reusable contract structures (e.g. token contracts, staking pools) that can be customized and deployed instantly by users without needing to write code.
14. How do template creators get paid?
Creators earn when users deploy or license their templates. GearUp supports both "pay-per-deploy" and "earn-per-license" monetization models.
15. How are KOL tokens handled?
If tokens are provided to KOLs, they are vested in four parts and include strict anti-dump conditions (e.g., no selling more than 0.1% of market cap daily).
16. What chains does GearUp support?
GearUp will first support Ethereum, Linea, Arbitrum, and Base. Additional networks may be added depending on demand and ecosystem relevance.
17. Can I import external contracts?
Yes. GearUp allows importing verified routers and protocols from across the EVM ecosystem (e.g. Uniswap, Aerodrome) and using them in visual blocks.
18. What is SCaaS?
SCaaS stands for Smart Contracts as a Service — GearUp’s enterprise toolkit for helping businesses deploy automated logic flows using our infrastructure.
19. How do I get support?
20. When will the mobile app and plugin launch?
GearFlow mobile app and plugin are in development and will be released after core product stability. Launch timelines will be shared via our roadmap and social media channels.
21. How is GearUp different from other no-code tools?
Unlike basic form-based tools, GearUp provides granular control through modular logic blocks, deep template customization, and real-time simulation with blockchain-level precision.
22. Can I fork or remix an existing template?
Yes. If a template is open-source or permitted under licensing, you can duplicate, modify, and relaunch it directly from Studio or Factory.
23. How do I access Scrappy AI?
Scrappy AI will be available inside GearUp Studio and Factory dashboards. Certain advanced functions will require holding $gUP tokens.
24. What is the Earn-Per-Deploy model?
This model pays template creators every time their template is deployed by a user, creating scalable and recurring revenue opportunities.
25. What is the Earn-Per-License model?
In this model, users purchase a license to access and deploy a template. The creator earns from the license fee, and the buyer can use it without limits.
26. Is GearUp safe to use?
Yes. Contracts are tested on testnets and backed by community/audit review cycles. GearFlow adds another safety layer by abstracting wallet risks.
27. Are there limits to contract deployment?
There are no hard limits, but template usage may require holding a small amount of $gUP. Enterprise deployments may include tiered limits in the future.
28. Will I need to pay gas fees?
Yes. As with any smart contract interaction on-chain, users must pay gas fees in ETH (or respective chain currency). GearUp does not abstract or cover gas.
29. Can I contribute to the platform?
Yes. Developers, designers, and community members can contribute to templates, suggest features, or join GearUp’s ambassador and bounty programs.
GearFlow mobile app and plugin are in development and will be released after core product stability. Launch timelines will be shared via our roadmap and social media channels.
