We have updated the secrets management component of our Cardstack Wallet to allow cross-platform encryption and decryption of the key using a pin code provided by the user. The pin is not stored on our servers, allowing only authorized users to retrieve the secret recovery phrase from the backup.

Neither Cardstack nor Apple or Google will have access to this information due to the encryption that uses this pin code as a seed.

This capability was rolled out in the latest version of the Cardstack Wallet on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Android PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cardstack.cardpay&hl=en_US&gl=US

Decentralization shouldn't feel like you're scattering yourself. It should feel like all your things are centered around you!

That's where the Cardstack Hub comes in—your hub around you, not around the project, the dApp, or the protocol.

SaaS startups rely on venture funding for growth.

However, with venture funding comes the pressure to either grow exponentially for IPO or sell the company to big tech.

As big tech companies like to acquire their competitors and then eliminate those products or services for their own competitive advantage, there isn't much opportunity for independent growth in the current ecosystem for startups.

With a decentralized, community-owned Internet, great products will no longer be killed by big tech!


🎙️Tomorrow, we talk about the creator economy with Rusty Matveev, CEO of Calaxy!

➡️ Calaxy is an open social marketplace built for creators, by creators. In this fireside chat, we'll discuss how Calaxy is revolutionizing the creator economy.
