Cardstack is building the “experience” layer of the decentralized internet; it’s a way internet applications can interact with one another; all through a block chain intercommunication network. It essentially brings decentralization to the mass market.
At the moment, multiple apps on the play store (apple and google), while have linkages together, cannot truly interact with one another and often require the users to open up multiple apps for multiple purposes. Cardstack is trying to revolutionize the app store market and wants to take different apps and integrate them into one.
With each app offering a different feature, users have to choose between different overlapping features to power their workflow. As more and more software is slowly moving to the cloud, users need to manage multiple accounts for their workflow.
Similarly, the blockchain DAPPS require the user to handle and manage multiple utility tokens applications.
Cardstack takes the different idea that wants to take the best of all these applications and orient them horizontally.
Meaning, taking the best and the most powerful qualities of each application and orienting it into a single, unified application mainframe.
Cardstack is looking for ways to bring every native app or DAPP and break them into their basic, identifiable components. Cards are what the apps output.
By breaking down apps into these basic actionable components, and with the user being kept as the center, choice between different cards (AKA different services) can be made without having to go through multiple app layers to create the work flow.
Facebook has newsfeed, messenger, social network and each of these can be a separate card. Cards can be created for each of these services and can be linked / chained together to create an all in one solution.
Cardstack advantages:
• One token to pay for multiple services that require payment; eliminating the need for managing multiple payed accounts
• Gather data for different apps all under one roof instead of multiple individual apps
• Pay for only what you use and need
• Tie block chain and non-block chain apps together seamlessly.
End users pay to create card stacks for their used apps and the payment received by the system will create a binding smart contract that binds the apps into a stack while entering the rest into a reward pool.
The creators pay a registration fee to add their card into the cardstack ecosystem; the fee taken from said creators will enter the pool as well. Tally, an analytic reward distribution system (based on the chain) will work alongside and for miners to allot and allocate rewards to the creators and miners.
With Cardstack implementing the block chain environment to bring user experience to a whole new level and decentralizing the main stream application platforms, enabling users to enhance their workflow while allowing future upgrades to create indigenous blockchain based application portals will allow this technology to revolutionize how people interact with apps.
