# Orbs Contract SDK

The Orbs smart contract SDK is a framework for building decentralized applications over the Orbs blockchain. These applications are made of smart contracts written in the [Go](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_\(programming_language\)) programming language.

The three chapters in the documentation cover:

* [Getting started](/v2-contract-sdk/getting-started/about-smart-contracts.md) - a high level overview of contract development in Orbs
* [Orbs Contracts](/v2-contract-sdk/orbs-contracts/smart-contracts.md) - how to develop a new contract - a full reference of the Orbs Contract SDK
* [Gamma in Depth](/v2-contract-sdk/gamma-in-depth/starting-and-stopping-the-server.md) - working with gamma-cli, the Orbs local blockchain implementation

Support for additional programming languages like JavaScript is under way.

## Github repo

Orbs is an MIT-licensed open source project. The source code for the contract SDK is available on Github

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.orbs.network/v2-contract-sdk/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
