Golang is widely known for its simplicity, efficiency, and strong concurrency model, making it a great fit for backend and systems programming. But what if you could use Go to write deterministic smart contracts? Gno extends Go into a deterministic execution environment, allowing developers to build secure, high-performance smart contracts while staying within the familiar Go syntax and tooling.

In this talk, we will introduce Gno, explain its core principles, and walk through the process of writing, deploying, and interacting with smart contracts. We will cover the differences between Go and Gno, best practices for deterministic execution, and real-world examples of Gno-based applications. By the end, Go developers will have a clear path to start building in Web3 without leaving their favorite language.
