There has been a steady increase on the dependency of technology in order to increase productivity. With the help of software and technical tools it has been possible to reduce cost, time and labor invested in the process of production. Companies have increasingly made use of applications in order to help them with several processes. The idea behind it is to increase productivity at the end of the day and to ensure profits.

The blockchain technology is one such technology that has managed to take the financial world to a whole new level. It has become the recent rage given its diverse functionality and user-friendly interface. It is a distributed public ledger that records cryptocurrency transaction autonomously and in a decentralized manner. Cardstack aims to use this technology and develop a platform that will enable it to become the layer that decentralizes the Internet.

**About Cardstack**

Cardstack aims to create a new economic model for the financial world with the help of the blockchain technology. They plan to bring about a change by using reliable software for sustaining and funding this idea. This system would even inculcate measures to ensure that the creators are given the appropriate rewards and that users are not taken advantage off. It will bring about a system that will allow buyers of application to get into a direct deal with via smart contracts, and that will coordinate a diverse network of software development teams, cloud hosting providers, and app-coin backed protocols.

Cardstack will be able to provide a Cohesive User Experience (CUE) for their users by allowing their platform to be diverse flexible. It aims to gain mass appeal by combining the new possibilities provided by smart contracts, while leveraging the global scale and cost efficiency of cloud computing, to create a holistic platform that would appeal to all. Cardstack will bring together the decentralized technology of cloud computing, smart contracts and blockchain technology to be able to apply it to a world that is backed by an economy that uses cryptocurrencies. This would lead to new and a variety of possibilities.

**Problems and Solutions**

One of the problems that currently exist is that the App Store feature has turned software features into standalone native apps. Because of this, these apps are unable to communicate with each and this leads to most of them being available for free. Moreover, the time consumed in setting up these apps is also tedious and has hampered the need to install new apps, with most of them not even getting used. These apps even require users to choose between multiple overlapping features to form their workflows.

The second problem is that of cloud software. With multiple subscriptions and limited storage capacity that is available for free, cloud storing can get complicated. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) needs constant updating and management of the subscribed plans to optimize cost across all the needed features. Moreover, these cloud storing companies are at constant risk of competition from those who are ready to make available space for a lower prize, provide new technology, new ease in usage and storage, etc. This is all a result of uncoordinated and competitive markets that become expensive and painful for the end users.

The third problem deals with utility tokens. With the of blockchain technology, new software applications have come up with their own unique token. This has managed to complicate things further by expecting users to use utility tokens for each of the functions making up their software stack.

The solution proposed by Cardstack is simple: to convert these vertical silos into horizontal layers. This idea will help enhance the decentralized technology and would allow native apps, cloud apps, and blockchain Dapps to create a software stack that would inculcate all the best features from each platform. This dynamic would change the whole system by creating a single holistic platform for all. It will prove to be convenient for users and creators alike.

**The Platform**

Cardstack will enable their users to create their own interaction across the (d) Apps they use by building a new experience layer. This is will allow mass market adoption of decentralized technologies in an open ecosystem. The restrictions that currently exist will be done away with the help of such an extensive decentralized platform.

In order for such a plan to become a reality, Cardstack will allow users to imitate, orchestrate, and make decisions about transactions that are coordinated locally through either cloud-based market makers or through the logic and consensus mechanisms of various blockchains. Moreover, this orchestration done by users will be turned into "cards" and will be studied for patterns. The idea is to make the system intuitive by chaining related cards and suggesting the next course of action for users, thus making it convenient to use. This platform will even help them to bridge blockchain and cloud services by making these cards the primary unit of interaction between the users and variants of competing services (either through the cloud or blockchain).

**How it Works**

Cardstack will be available for users through mobile devices and the open Web, in order to gain mass market adoption. Users will be able to use mobile applications and the web, Cardstack's software and protocol will enable their users to engage their card-based experiences conveniently, through their open systems. The Cardstack Hub on the platform will be responsible for internalizing the user's commands in order to bring about appropriate changes while building a consistent view of reality.

According to Cardstack's whitepaper, the platform will be a pluggable, evet-sourcing, search-first, an open-sourced application framework for building distributed as well as decentralized application networks. Through its unique platform, Cardstack will be able to manifest a base that provides people with access to blockchain around the world through any medium of their choice.

**Conclusion**

The idea behind Cardstack is truly unique. It is a project that will take the blockchain technology to whole new level and will cater to the needs of the present generation.  It proves to be flexible, diverse, engaging and dynamic. It will even ensure the satisfaction of users and software developers alike by inculcating adoptable tools and mechanisms on their software.
