Yes, that’s right. dApps are coming to Shift! We’re proud to present Phantom (IPFS) as a fully decentralized blockchain App. Before, Phantom was integrated in the wallet UI. It did cost us some extra time, but now Phantom runs standalone as a dApp as well.
We are near to provide you a dApp SDK, so soon you can start creating your own dapps with this amazing technology.
dApps that run on the Shift network are fully decentralized and run on their own sidechain so we can keep the main chain as clean as possible.
Installing dApps from the market is as simple as clicking a button. To spent SHIFT at a dApp you need to deposit tokens to the dApp sidechain. Of course you can always withdraw unspent SHIFT back to the main chain.
PhantomPorting Phantom to a dApp is not the only thing we did.
The past few months we invested in usability for the end user. The only thing you need to publish a website, is a wallet! That’s great, right?
And even better: you can publish websites with an existing TLD extension like .com, .net, .io, and many more. You just point your DNS to a Phantom gateway and the gateway delivers the website from any of the thousands of IPFS nodes in the world!
Mobile apps
We have our very own mobile app now for delegates to monitor their nodes.
