## FAQs

## Why did we choose go?

Go, apart from being a super simple and easy to learn language, it has some nice features that fit really well on the smart-contracts world:
- All libraries, packages and app code is intended to be public.
- Because everything is public, import a package is easy and straightforward.
- Go tooling is really good.

### How are we going to manage the blockchain size?

I think this question relates to state management, and how we cap / prune the state size from getting out of control because contracts are being deployed

Is the official answer we're going with that the state is going to be distributed across different gno chains?

I don't know the official answer, that is something we have to discuss. Maybe @moul can give a better answer for this?

The correct approach is to provide a link to an issue where the discussion can be tracked until it is sufficiently completed to be included in the FAQ.

The FAQ should offer concise answers and encourage further exploration by providing URLs to relevant resources such as documentation, blog posts, tweets, issues, and pull requests.


This is something still in development, but one of the main ideas is to have several blockchains talking with each other through IBC protocol.

### How is planning the company behind gno.land to make money?

25% of genesis tokens will be owned by the company. That will encourage us to keep evolving and improving the ecosystem making it more valuable for the users. Also, we will create some packages and Realms that will be monetized thanks to Proof of Contribution.

### What is the difference between other smart contract solutions, like solidity?

- Gno code is interpreted, so all the code is open source and easy to read directly from the blockchain.

- Gno is almost identical to Go, so if you are a Go developer, you can have your first smart contract deployed in no time compared with other languages.
