CARDSTACK - The experience layer of the decentralized internet

The experience layer of the decentralized internet

Cardstack 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.

Foundational Documents

To help you gain a deeper understanding of the market context, mathematical model, and token mechanisms behind Cardstack project, our team has prepared 4 additional papers for your review:

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DECENTRALIZATION 

Mass market adoption of blockchains can be accelerated if we reach the users via the familiar platforms, such as mobile devices or the open Web, and invite them to participate as peers with greater sovereignty.

THE ROTATION POINT FOR EACH USER

Acting as the orchestrator of the user’s workflow, Cardstack Hub relays the user’s commands to the right data systems and constantly listens for changes, while building a consistent, queryable view of reality.

CARDSTACK HUB ARCHITECTURE 

We have shipped a full stack that works with Git as the core. As decentralized apps mature, the well-typed plugin architecture of Cardstack Hub allows dApps and their underlying blockchains to complete the vision.

COMMON OPERATING ENVIRONMENT 

Blockchain- and cloud-based apps that are integrated with Cardstack Hub immediately get the benefit of common components to handle prioritized queues, searchable libraries, and field-level configurations.

OPEN-SOURCE CARD CATALOG

As the features of the card ecosystem fill out, common data elements and associated actions can be unified as open-source standard, creating a catalog of pre-built cards that are easy to use and reuse.

TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN INTERNET BUSINESS MODELS

In the current software economy, the drive for openness often requires people to give up their fair share of rewards, while tools promising to return power to users keep losing out to centralized, growth-hacked platforms.

CONNECTING OPEN-SOURCE AND CRYPTO ECOSYSTEMS 

The success of early cryptocurrencies shows that a network of economic participants, when given the right incentives, can fuel improvements of open-source software and protocols and spawn supporting ecosystems.

FUNDING SOFTWARE AND SERVICES WITH TOKENS 

Users spend tokens in their wallet to get access to an app. A smart contract, acting as the billing agent for the app, allocates a portion of these tokens to the creators of the open-sourced code or the provided services.

DETAILED TOKEN MECHANISMS FOR CARD AND SSC

With Cardstack Tokens, users purchase credits to use software in the ecosystem, while makers and miners are rewarded proportionally, based on usage data, etc.

BALANCING FACTS AND OPINIONS

The network-wide reward function consults the output of the proportional attribution and allocation model, which takes many factors, both on- and off-chain, into account to determine a fair distribution of rewards.

 

REWARDING MAKERS AND MINERS IN THE ECOSYSTEM

The reward function works like a “wealth trickle”. Once a graph of makers’ and miners’ input is built in an analytic node, the model iterates through network branches until each path has been weighted locally and globally.

SUMMARY: BLUEPRINT FOR SUSTAINABLE SOFTWARE

Cardstack is creating a sustainable software ecosystem, where a network of smart contracts coordinates the revenue coming in from paying customers and the rewards going out to makers and miners who have contributed to the software and services.
