+# Built-in-Actors
+
+Built-in-Actors (BiAs) are specialized entities within the Gear runtime that execute specific business logic when programs communicate with them via messages. This feature addresses a key limitation: while users can directly interact with pallets through extrinsics like bond, nominate, vote, etc., programs within the Gear Protocol can only send messages, not extrinsics.
+
+BiAs enhance the capabilities of programs (smart contracts) to the user level. Features typically implemented through pallets and accessible only via extrinsics are now available to programs. This includes using balances for governance voting, issuing vouchers, staking funds, enabling other actors to perform operations on behalf of the program (proxying), conducting complex computations, and more. This expansion significantly enhances the functionality and potential applications of blockchain programs.

 One of the most frustrating aspects of blockchain technology is the need for users to manually sign transactions. When interacting with digital applications, users must sign transactions with their private keys in order to send commands, such as requesting funds or taking actions in a game. This tedious process significantly hinders the adoption of blockchain applications, as users tend to prefer less secure but more convenient web2 services.

 Gear Protocol is an advanced Substrate-based Wasm programming platform. It was designed to enable developers to build and operate custom-logic decentralized applications (dApps) efficiently. The versatility of Gear Protocol makes it an ideal solution for a range of scenarios:
 
-- Gear empowers developers to execute custom logic programs and create dApps on a decentralized Gear Network at speeds comparable to native execution. This allows developers to deploy practically any codebase to the network and have their users interact with it seamlessly.
-- A Gear node can be used as a standalone instance running microservices, middleware, open APIs, and more, offering enhanced flexibility and autonomy.

This enables developers to create a wider range of dApps and services with richer feature sets.
 
-Substrate-based chains, like those deployed using Gear Protocol, bring significant enhancements to the blockchain landscape, such as employing energy-efficient proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms, and facilitating community-based authority with Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Furthermore, these chains make use of fast and cost-effective program and smart contract engines powered by the Wasm Virtual Machine.
