About

Stacks, formerly known as Blockstack, is a pioneering decentralized internet platform based in the United States. It aims to empower users to own their data and run applications locally, promoting digital autonomy and allowing users to take back control over their digital life. The platform offers a new internet experience accessible via a browser portal, focusing on privacy, decentralization, and blockchain technology. Key features include a crypto wallet, cryptocurrency support, and tools for web app building, positioning it as a Bitcoin-L2 solution. Stacks operates under a Free and Open Source license, allowing users to suggest and vote on features. While it envisions itself as a 'future game-changer' in the decentralized web, some critics view it with skepticism, questioning its claims of decentralization and privacy, and expressing concerns about programmable money leading to potential tyranny.
