The platform enables engineers to build secure, privacy-focused applications: users are in control of their data instead of storing it with large tech companies.

Over 150 independent developer teams have built apps on the platform so far.

NOTE: Few days back, SEC approved a $28 million Reg A+ offering for STACKS Token making it the first regulated token offering in the history.

Casa

Casa is the best personal key system on the planet.

One of the greatest promises of blockchains is the ability to give people back control of their own money — to “be their own bank”. However, individuals today don’t have the necessary tools to shoulder the responsibility that comes with the promise of fully owning their money. The largest barrier to adoption of cryptocurrency is the ability for people to feel safe using it, and we’re tackling that problem head-on.

At Casa, the company is developing secure personal key management systems that help you keep your cryptocurrency and cryptoassets safe.

NOTE: The company’s CTO is Jameson Lopp, one of the most influential cyberpunks in the space.
