I regularly check the app store for new applications that offer some use to me. I’ve noticed that a lot of the apps have some unique tool, but build in a bunch of other services. Let me give you an example; I won’t name the apps:

App 1: Main purpose is doing a virus-scan on my new downloads—ranked top 5 for this service. But along with the scan, the app comes with an in-built flashlight button, phone storage cleaner, battery health bar (I don’t know what this even is), and lots of other odd things.

App 2: Main purpose is shutting down background apps that use too much battery power—ranked number 1 for this service. But along with that come, again, a flashlight button, phone storage cleaner, battery health bar, and lots of other odd things.

If you take a moment and think about this situation, how can you not laugh at it?

The problem is that these apps take up a lot of unnecessary space on my phone because many apps have the same bonus features! Storage is expensive because each memory space upgrade on an iPhone costs big bucks. This problem isn’t just limited to people since companies have to deal with the problem of having to deal with repeated features too.

Cardstack Fixes this Problem

Cardstack is building a software that allows you to actually gather up only the most important features of any technological tool. These days companies have to use different applications, cloud services, and even decentralized applications. Each tool offers some major benefit that other tools don’t and that lets it survive. However, the problem is that most tools come built-in with a ton of extra features that are repeated over many services the company buys.

Cardstack’s solution is to treat the functions of each of those services as a card. Then, Cardstack allows anyone to simply stack up the specific functions they need and the resulting Cardstack would be built of only the main functions a company needs. This is why Cardstack will act as the experience layer of blockchain—this their goal. A software like this gives user the best experience possible as they get to handle all their important needs (app, dapp, or cloud service functions) in one place. Cardstack offers a lot of convenience and time savings.

So the main concept of Cardstack is to be the experience layer of blockchain and it does so by providing an easy way of dealing with only the most important aspects of other technology products. But this software comes packed with a lot of other impressive features.

Cardstack is making an ecosystem where open-source developers can provide a service and then actually be rewarded for it in proportion to how much it gets used. This fair rewarding mechanism is handled by Cardstack’s consensus approach called Tally. This article has already become a bit long so I will discuss it in an upcoming article.
