About Blockstack

It's all about fundamental digital rights.

Blockstack is a full-stack decentralized computing protocol that enables a new generation of applications where developers and users can interact fairly and securely, while curing the ills of centralized Internet design. Blockstack builds protocols and developer tools designed to enable a fair and open Internet that returns digital rights to developers and consumers. Led by some of the world's foremost experts on distributed systems, Blockstack allows users to own their own data that they can take with them from app to app in the ecosystem, along with their Blockstack ID that eliminates the need for password-based logins. The end result is privacy, security, and freedom.

Blockstack provides a stack of important layers you can use so that people who use Blockstack apps truly own their data, own their identity, and even their content and connections. These decentralized applications are more secure than traditional options and do not sacrifice performance or scalability.

APP Mining fules pioneers building blockstack apps

Developers: Learn About App Mining

Traditionally the term 'mining' in cryptocurrency refers to the process of contributing compute resources to the network and earning a reward. On the Blockstack network, however, instead of just "mining" through computation, developers can "mine" by contributing apps to the ecosystem and making applications the community wants.

App Mining directly fuels and supports developers building apps people want on Blockstack. The underlying goal of App Mining is to accelerate growth of the decentralized app ecosystem, fueling and rewarding those that are investing their time and talents in building on a new, better internet for all of us.
