Overview
Blockstack is a new decentralized internet, where users own their data and apps run on user devices without the need for hosting. Developers can build serverless apps without the need to trust any centralized services or infrastructure. Blockstack Core is the reference implementation of Blockstack. It is responsible for processing blockchain transactions, creating virtualchain state, and building the peer network amongst other things. Blockstack Core provides a RESTful interface for clients and also comes with a command-line-interface (CLI).

Reviewed on Nov 28, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The data security and it's privacy while we transfer the data to different people in the organisation are commendable. Data is the most important asset of any organisation, its security is always a concern for everyone wherein blockstack does a great job of avoiding data leak through its encrypted medium
What do you dislike about the product?
The selection of applications within the ecosystem may be less comprehensive compared to what is offered on traditional, centralized platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can decide which data to share, with whom to share it, and who retains their data. No one else have the access to it which keeps it secured.

Emerging Platform For Decentralized Apps, But Needs a Bit More Work!
Reviewed on Aug 30, 2019
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Blockstack has the best customer support in the blockchain space, hands down. They have a Slack channel, use Twitter actively and respond to emails overnight whenever my team and I have questions. They are providing a clear path to distribution for agencies and firms looking to develop decentralized apps as well as a clear path to monetization for some apps as an alternative to industry leaders like Apple and Google.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that, for one, they require so much documentation from our team to get up-and-running. We had to submit our identification, tax forms, licenses, articles of organization from our domestic state as well as some other required documents. This severely impacted the time we would've used to finish up development for our apps that already exist on the Blockstack Browser ecosystem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blockstack has not yet realized their dreams of consumer demand or adaptation. Chances are, if you're publishing an app with Blockstack it's a strictly business audience demographic you're appealing to. But for us at Blyn, that was perfect!
We wanted to solve the problem of creating decentralized workplace tools for enterprise and small businesses through software-as-a-service. We solved the age-old problem of authentication and authorization for saaS apps by using Blockstack's SSO solution. We realize this has saved us HOURS of overhead in development and production publication. We look forward to using Blockstack even more in the future.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend trying out Blockstack for your team and seeing if it suits your needs. It's early-stage, so it's not for everyone, but it can be an awesome alternative to the industry bemoths like the App Store or Play Store for releasing applications with a clear path to monetization, especially for web agencies and firms.
