Stackin' Cards, Layers, software - Cardstack

Cardstack The experience layer of the decentralized internet. It is an open source framework and consensus protocol that makes blockchains usable and scalable for the mass market, creating a decentralised software ecosystem that can challenge today's digital superpowers. The framework is a comprehensive Software Development kit (SDK) for building powerful blockchain apps. At the core is Cardstack Hub, which manages data and value transfer across multiple blockchains and the cloud. Cardstack powered decentralised Apps (dApps), can tap into the Tally Protocol which will gives dApps the power to perform complex computations to organise large networks of users - such as batching payments, counting votes, and rewarding good work. Developers will be able to monetise their Cardstack based apps via the smart contracts powered by the Card Stack Token (CST)
