About Cardstack
Cardstack Is Powwerd by a data fusion layer called the Hub. It indexes and orchestrates card data, syncs data with the world, and can be hosted anywhere. When developers import data from an outside source, Cardstack’s “Deck” data model provides them with templates to quickly turn the data into cards.
The Cardstack Framework is built on Ember and Node.js. It allows developers to quickly build modular, interoperable apps, or cards, through an open-source catalog of features and integrations. Using plugins, developers can extend cards with the power of cloud services, decentralized apps, smart contracts, and much more.
Why Choose Cardstack
Create
Cardstack card can wrap any kind of data: as simple as a message, as valuable as a payment, as powerful as an app. Cards have encoded rights that govern how they move.
Customize
Cardstack can be edited, saved, and shared using their 4 Edges: customizable tool panels that expand from each card’s perimeter.
Coordinate
Your Cardstack brings your cards together into a single lightweight experience that fully belongs to you. It’s your personal cloud for the new Web.
Collect
Cardstack you use the Internet, you accumulate data, which you can save as cards and organize into Decks, which are local collections that you own.
Combine

Developers
Developers can build a modular Web app using Card Space, by combining and embedding cards or allowing others to submit cards. Card Flow is a Git-based version control system that manages card movements, allowing developers to create collaborative, interactive Web experiences.
Application Hosting
Cardstack , it’s very difficult to ask users to install some software on their own machine, configure it, make sure they are connected to the mainnet, and then wait six hours before they can make a prediction market bet. Wouldn’t it be great if all of this could be hosted? But then, how would it be decentralized?
The truth is, they should look at a model like WordPress, which can be deployed without being centralized. There is no reason why decentralized apps couldn’t borrow that model—so that all users can take from the open-source codebase, join the network and host it themselves, or pay someone to do it for them.
Blockchain Protocol
Cardstack second issue is that a lot of these decentralized apps are silos. Each dApp has its own download, its own plugins, and so on. In dApps 2.0, we need to see all of these things as part of one cohesive stack. This way, several layers allow one application to tap into decentralized insurance, decentralized payments, and decentralized dispute resolution. Because that is what, say, eBay does—it does all those three things without you knowing it.

Tips for securely storing your Cardstack
- Do your own research. Before sending any coins or private data to a wallet, make sure you have researched the wallet provider to make sure everything is above board. Keep an eye out for scam wallets, such as those using URLs only slightly different to the URLs of legitimate wallet providers, and check out some independent reviews for all the pros and cons.
- Back it up. Make use of your wallet’s back-up and restore facility so that if something ever goes wrong with your wallet, you’ll be able to recover your funds.
- Set a strong password. Now is not the time to be lazy when creating a password; take your time to create a strong and uncrackable code.
- Make use of all available security features. Make the most of all the security features your wallet offers, such as two-factor authentication or multi-signature transactions. It’ll offer increased protection for your funds and greater peace of mind for you.
- Update your antivirus software. Take care to regularly update the antivirus protection and anti-malware software on any device you will be using to access your wallet.
- Keep your private keys private. Last but not least, don’t underestimate the importance of your private keys. Store them somewhere safe and don’t share them with anyone else.
