Blockstack is an open-source decentralized computing platform. Blockstack software libraries enable developers to build decentralized applications. Blockstack provides decentralized protocols for authentication, data storage, and software distribution.[1]
Concerns around internet privacy, security, and data breaches brought attention to Blockstack.[2] Software developers have used Blockstack to build decentralized alternatives to popular services.[3][4][5]
