When bitcoin appeared and the technology of blockchain it became clear that this was a paradigm shift in software development. Technology blockchain revolutionized not only in the financial industry. At the moment there are more and more innovative projects that show the diversity of the use of blockchain technology. One such example is a project called Cardstack.
The idea of Cardstack is to create an ecosystem designed to combine the functions of various mobile applications. This ecosystem is built on blockchain technology. Thanks to this platform, it becomes possible to select the best of several applications and combine them into a single application.
At the moment there is a huge selection of completely different applications. They include maps, organizer, hour, weather, calendar, photos and much more. Most of them need to register and monitor them. Sometimes it takes a lot of time, which is often not enough.
If you consider large companies, then various applications for business also require registration, login and password for each employee, sometimes a credit card. If an employee who has registered or who has access to all these data is dismissed, it will be necessary to re-create everything for each employee and each individual application.
It is important to note that the cost of these specialized applications is often quite high, and some applications have the same functions. It turns out that companies have to spend a lot of money on various applications because in one application there are several functions that are not in the other. In other respects, these applications perform the same functions. Thus, companies are forced to overpay large sums of money for the same recurring functions.
Despite the fact that there is a huge selection of applications, but most of them are paid. Most often, users do not want to spend money on applications, so they use a small assortment of applications. Their number on average equals 5. In addition, most of these applications exist due to advertising. But for most developers who are not part of large companies (Apple, Amazon), the creation of free applications is impossible. They have to earn something. It turns out that users often try not to use paid applications. And because of this, many application developers can not compete with free analogs. And even if these paid applications are better than free applications, the user will more often choose a free application.
In addition, with the advent of the first iPhone, a trend arose for separate applications that are separate and do not interact with each other.
The Cardstack project team offers a solution to the above problems. This project allows you to combine the capabilities of completely different applications. The user will no longer have to simultaneously run manyи applications, which will heavily burden the computer or phone. In addition, this project will allow different companies not to pay huge amounts of money for various applications. They can combine all this into one product.
The Cardstack project proposes to change the vertical structure of applications, where each application is separated, on horizontal layers. This will combine native applications, Saas-applications and decentralized applications and receive applications of better quality and functionality.
The Cardstack project developers want to create additional layers over the blockchain Ethereum network. These layers will create a unified system of decentralized applications. Cardstack offers the ability to organize a centralized application development process. In addition, in this entire infrastructure will be a single monetary system. All transactions within the platform will be carried out using the Cardstack token (CARD).
Secret layer. It is the blockchain Ethereum itself. Only developers of the project have access to this layer.
The second layer. It is called a layer of payment and management. It consists of two components:
-CARD token ecosystem (thanks to this component, developers can monetize their applications with smart contracts and receive CARD tokens);
-The mechanism of Tally.
This mechanism contains transactions outside the blockchain Ethereum. This will solve the scalability problem and reduce network congestion. In addition, this component allows you to perform complex calculations. For example, counting votes and batch payments. This component functions with the help of "analytical miners". Their main task is to make a spam filter and determine the rewards for the ecosystem participants.
The public layer. It consists of the following components:
-APP Framework. This is a powerful set of tools for developing applications. Thanks to him, these applications can be combined into integrated packages or divided into parts. These parts can be embedded in different applications;
-Applications that will be created using blockchain technology. This is already a component of users.
I want to note that during the pre-sale it was collected 6.5 million US dollars in 6 minutes. I think this is a very cool indicator, which shows a great interest in this project. More details can be found in this article
In my opinion, the Cardstack project has great prospects. This project is unique. Thanks to this, Cardstack has no competitors. This project will allow many users to use one universal application instead of ten. Thanks to this, users will be able to save their money. The same applies to large companies, which now do not have to overpay huge amounts.
