Try decentralized apps built on Stacks, secured by Bitcoin. There are apps for finance, collectibles, blogging and many more.
To use Stacks apps, you’ll need a wallet to login and some STX to pay the network’s transaction fees and make purchases.
What if Bitcoin’s core values could apply to software too? Stacks extends Bitcoin to enable apps that are open, permissionless, and decentralized. Decentralized apps are computer programs that run on the Stacks blockchain instead of a centralized server, enabling new kinds of apps that couldn’t exist before.
Closed, you need permission to use or build upon apps
Controlled by centralized entity — you trust the developer that the app’s source code and state is fair and accurate
Users’ account and data are locked into the app
Will disappear if the creator loses interest
Extractive business models of selling access, data or advertising
Open, apps can be used, improved, and built upon by anyone without requiring permission
Hosted by the network, the app’s source code and state is open for all to see on the blockchain
Users own their account and data and can move it from app to app
Once deployed on Stacks and settled on Bitcoin, code can’t be taken down. This is essential for critical internet infrastructure.
Can align incentives between developers, users, and investors, enabling anyone to be a shareholder of the apps they believe in
