Cardstack CARD

Cardstack is a decentralized application server that provides a set of services for developers and users to interact with applications across multiple blockchains and clouds. It aims to offer an open-source alternative to centralized Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms. Cardstack's vision is described in their white paper, although the implementation and adoption of the platform are subject to various factors and risks.

Cardstack stands out from other cryptocurrencies due to its focus on creating a collaborative operating system for Web3. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies that primarily serve as digital currencies or store of value, Cardstack aims to empower everyday people to build apps, create content, and participate in decentralized ways without requiring coding or crypto experience. It provides a user-friendly platform that opens the doors to Web3 for a wider audience, making NFTs, DeFi, and blockchain accessible to non-technical users. Additionally, Cardstack utilizes a combination of centralized and decentralized git protocols, namely GitHub and Githereum, to synchronize states across multiple hubs, ensuring seamless access to the same state across different realms.
