Blockstack, a New York-based blockchain company, announced that it has introduced a new decentralized blockchain-based internet browser.
The ‘Blockstack browser’ allows developers across the globe to access a whole new internet and build aps on this new internet by downloading the Blockstack Mac or Linux app. The company said that it is planning to introduce the apps in Windows soon.
For the first time, the new internet browser allows access to people, communities, apps and services that are built on blockchain technology. The aim of the new internet is to have security and safety as a core of its DNA and to overcome the applications and services that are owned and controlled by remote third parties.
“We're a group of open-source developers, and we feel the pain of app developers. The permission-based environment of the traditional internet runs directly counter to true innovation,” the announcement said. “Our developer tools for the new, decentralized internet remove the reliance on existing infrastructure or third-party servers.”
The new internet browser aims to build a digital world of truly peer-to-peer internet utilities that are not maintained by corporations, but collectively, by the people. It will also build a digital world that encodes the property rights, where one can own their data, and where the people are powerful.
