Blockstack is an open-source decentralized computing platform.[1] Blockstack software libraries enable developers to build decentralized applications, which have no single point of failure or control.[2][3] Blockstack provides decentralized protocols for authentication, data storage, and software distribution.[4][5]

Concerns around internet privacy, security, and data breaches are bringing attention to decentralized platforms like Blockstack.[6][7][8] Software developers have used Blockstack to build decentralized alternatives to popular services like Google docs (word processor), WeChat (messaging), traditional email, Patreon (membership platform), and others.[9][10][11]. As of summer 2019 there are more than 120 applications built using the Blockstack technology[12].
