CARDSTACK - Decentralized internet

ABOUT CARDSTACK
Cardstack is an open-source framework and consensus protocol that makes blockchains usable and scalable for the mass market, creating a decentralized software ecosystem that can challenge today’s digital superpowers.

MISION
Our mission is to build an economically sustainable software ecosystem that fights back against the rampant lock-in mechanisms of centralized platforms.

CARDSTACK HUB ARCHITECTURE
We have shipped a full stack that works with Git as the core. As decentralized apps mature, the well-typed plugin architecture of Cardstack Hub allows dApps and their underlying blockchains to complete the vision.

TECHNOLOGY
Cardstack is a leap forward for blockchain at every layer of the software stack — providing a toolset that unlocks the potential of the decentralized Internet for everyone.

APP FRAMEWORK
Cardstack Framework is a comprehensive SDK for building powerful, cohesive blockchain apps. At the core is Cardstack Hub, which orchestrates data and value transfer across multiple blockchains and the cloud.

AGGREGATION PROTOCOL
Cardstack-powered dApps can tap into the Tally protocol, which gives dApps the power to perform complex computations to organize large networks of users — such as batching payments, counting votes, and rewarding good work.

ECOSYSTEM TOKEN
Developers can monetize their Cardstack- based apps via the smart contracts powered by the Cardstack Token (CARD), an Ethereum-based ERC20 token designed to fairly reward Cardstack- powered communities.
