Blockstack is a decentralized computing platform that aims to put users in control of their data and identity. Blockstack seeks a new infrastructure for the internet where users choose which data to share and whom to share it with. Through their platform design, application developers can’t access user data, users can choose who stores their data, and the user decides permission rights to read or write to the data
.
Connected to the network, rather than centralized servers hosted by application providers, this is what allows for decentralized applications. The decentralized storage system, Gaia, enables what they describe as “user-controlled private data lockers.” Users connect their “data lockers” to Blockstack’s client software, and applications write directly to the lockers. The locker acts as your storage for all the information attached to your account, or “universal ID.”
Blockchain can be said to have affected many business and communication facets.
