Card stack 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.

Centralized tech giants force us into silos, and capture the value we create. Early decentralized tech like Bitcoin demonstrates the promise of blockchain, but has only delivered gains to a handful of enthusiasts. 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.

MISSION

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

SOLUTIONS

THE EXPERIENCE LAYER: Cardstack is building a new experience layer that helps users orchestrate their interactions across the (d)Apps they use, ushering in the age of mass market adoption of decentralized technologies in an open ecosystem
CENTERING THE INTERNET AROUND THE USER: The new approach to orchestration must put the users at the center and let them act as their own hub, so that interactions with applications and services ﬂow through a software stack controlled by the users.
TURNING SERVICES INTO TANGIBLE CARDS: The necessary orchestration can be made intuitive by turng each state of an application into a “card”, which is a visual embodiment of the key information, suggesting the next course of action via chaining of related cards.
BRIDGING BLOCKCHAIN AND CLOUD SERVICES: These cards become the primary unit of interaction between the users and many variants of competing services, which run locally, in the cloud, or on a blockchain and fulﬁll the diﬀerent aspects of users’ needs.
ENABLING PROGRESSIVE DECENTRALIZATION: Behind the facade of cards, the process of decentralizing the software ecosystem can be done piecemeal, allowing for drop-in replacement of common cloud services when blockchains are ready to act as substitutes.
