Mobile application development is an industry that has risen exponentially over just a few years. Today, we have apps for everything for all kinds of mobile operating systems, be it android, or iOS or anything else. The industry has emerged as profitable, stable, job-providing domain. Several enhancements are being worked upon to provide even better services for the users.
**"Our lives will be facilitated by a myriad of adaptive applications running on different devices, with different sensors, all of them collecting titbits about everything we do, and feeding big digital brains that can adapt applications to our needs simply because they get to know us."** **-** **Quoted by Márcio Cyrillo, Executive Director at CI&T**
Another technology that has risen to power in recent times is the Blockchain technology. So many enterprises have begun to introduce crypto-tokens as utility tokens for their platform that provide value and rewards to users. The Blockchain technology is considered to be revolutionary and completely change the way the global economy works. It has the potential to give rise to a decentralised internet. So naturally, all companies are rushing towards providing cryptocurrency-related services.
**When decentralized blockchain protocols start displacing the centralized web services that dominate the current Internet, we'll start to see real internet-based sovereignty. The future Internet will be decentralized.** **- Olaf Carlson-Wee**
You may be wondering why I've talked about two seemingly unrelated domains in technology. The reason is that both these technologies have a common disadvantage – the services are non-cohesive. The fact that there is an app for every action, a crypto-token for every service is actually quite a disadvantage. This is because the user is forced to maintain each app and each token separately, which can be quite tedious. The user is unable to plan out a whole day's activity or an entire sequence of events in the user's digital life using a single platform. This is hindering the mobile application development industry and the blockchain industry from reaching their full potential, and renders them incapable of being desirable in the long run. This problem stands in the way of a fully decentralised internet reaching the masses. Thus, there is an imminent need for a "full stack" application framework for normal users. This is where CardStack comes in.
**What Does CardStack Offer?**
CardStack aims to provide a software stack by reorienting the existing vertical silos into horizontal layers. This allows the best features of native apps, cloud apps and decentralised apps (DApps) to provide an application framework that enables cohesive user experiences. The model also distributes rewards fairly among the developers of the software and the open-source communities supporting them.

The CardStack platform provides a decentralised software market where dealings are authenticated by smart contracts, to ensure transparency and security. The people can orchestrate their interactions across the DApps that they use, leading to the era of mass market adoption of decentralised technologies in an open ecosystem structure. Thus, the platform provides a cohesive user experience (CUE), which establishes a flexible design paradigm that can orchestrate all the moving parts in the user's digital life.
The CARD token is used to power the smart contracts that govern this ecosystem. Users can use this token to pay for the entire set of software that the user wishes to use, resulting in a smooth experience. It also enables makers and miners to get the fair rewards that they deserve. Thus, the platform has something to give to all its participants.
**Achieving True Decentralisation**
CardStack show promise to unlock the full potential of blockchain technology, and introduce a truly decentralised internet service layer to the mass population. It helps overcome all the disadvantages that the current software stack structure has. With its talented team of hard-working professionals, and a highly supportive and powerful group of investors, the project is headed for success and will revolutionise the framework of the globally used software stack.
