What’s New at Cardstack?
Card Space, the project roadmap, an xDai integration & an AMA
Introducing Card Space
The no-code dApp builder for the decentralized Web
Card Space is a building tool that allows you to design your own decentralized space, where you can present yourself or your business to the Web3 world. Since it is a no-code tool, you can configure your space with user-friendly point-&-click and drag-&-drop tools — no need for coding skills. Yet, you can always ask a developer to extend it for you.
“We want to give people the ability to be creative
in terms of laying out their space, but still benefit
from a set of templates and a set of prebuilt no-code
capabilities that you get from a social network.”
The roadmap of the Cardstack Project
At Cardstack, we are working on three main products this year:
- Card Pay (Q2) is the payment and reward network that enables people to transact with each other at a low cost, using layer-2 technology.
- Card Space (Q3) allows users to create their own decentralized spaces, without needing the help of a developer.
- Card Catalog (Q4) is an open-source software catalog, which offers users a variety of cards and templates they can drag into their space.
“Card Catalog, Card Space, and Card Pay work very nicely together to provide the future decentralized Web experience that’s as easy, if not easier to use than the current silos of different websites.”
Cardstack integrates with xDAI
Cardstack is integrating with xDAI for the upcoming payment and reward network. Card Pay will be deployed on the xDAI chain as a fast, easy, and cheap way to conduct e-commerce transactions using a mobile wallet.
