About

Blockstack is one of the leading decentralized computing protocols seeking to reinvent the Internet stack. The Blockstack protocol hosts decentralized applications and experiences that allow users to keep their identity and data obfuscated from application owners or traditional Internet companies. Blockstack apps use private data lockers and a universal login with blockchain-based security and encryption.

By championing a full-stack approach — through building a protocol that includes computing, data storage, identity / user authentication and the application plug-in layer — Blockstack offers ease-of-use and intuitive UX for new decentralized Web 3.0 users.
