# Introduction to Hyper Code IDE

Welcome to the Circular ecosystem! We’re excited to help you build your first dApp. 

{% hint style="info" %}
[Access the Hyper Code IDE](https://circularlabs.io/HCIDE) ([https://circularlabs.io/HCIDE](https://circularlabs.io/HCIDE#))
{% endhint %}

Here’s a quick guide to getting started with the Proton IDE.

**Project Icon:** Manage your project files.

**Search:** Find specific elements in your project.

**Debug:** Simplifies smart contract debugging.

**SDK & CRC:** Direct links to Circular SDK and Standards documentation.<br>

In the left sidebar, you’ll also find access to Templates, Libraries, and Tutorials. At the top, use the icons for editor interactions and contract deployment.

The code editor lets you read and edit your code, while the Payload Terminal handles blockchain transactions. The Output window shows smart contract status and results, helpful for debugging.

With this overview of the IDE, you’re ready to start exploring smart contracts on Circular.

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://circular-protocol.gitbook.io/circular-developer-docs/your-first-dapp-on-circular/introduction-to-hyper-code-ide.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.
