Their Salient Features: Protect user privacy and ownership - With decentralized data storage and accounts, everything users do will be private and owned by them. It’s powered by the blockchain but integration is easy — all is needed is a few lines of JavaScript; Build trustless apps and protocols - Clarity smart contracts are self-executing, public code that run on the Stacks blockchain. Use smart contracts to build new kinds of apps and protocols that operate without a central authority, control digital assets, and enable trustless interactions; Build what's next - With user-owned data and smart contracts, users can build new kinds of apps that couldn’t exist before; Everything users need to build decentralized apps – Stacks blockchain, Clarity smart contracts, Easy-to-use SDKs, Decentralized accounts, Encrypted data storage and Open source and decentralized. They are backed by: YCombinator, USV, LUX, Winklevoss Capital, Digital Currency Group and Foundation Capital.
