“Composability” represents the ability of a system to be modular in more than 1 way. Assimilated from fields like design, technology and the social sciences such a concept could be translated into an open source ecosystem where the best millionaires can work together and collaborate to reshape our future as a whole.

The decentralization of the software building stack means that we will have to revisit many of our underlying assumptions on the way software usually runs, is designed, deployed and preserved. Any notable change to any of these critical factors could disrupt the market and lead to the exponential rise and falls while shifting the power leverage dynamics.

### Cardstack: the experience facilitator

Cardstack (https://cardstack.com/) together with the CARD token is a decentralized intermediary solution that will bridge the gap between traditional software development and the new and emerging Dapps (Decentralized Apps) providers. The users will access a card based architecture where each card represents a building block in the app building process. So whether you are looking for best in class payment methods or ways to have a safe environment for your app. Cardstack will be the marketplace where decentralized vendors of services will compete to get your attention.

### Open Source is the new norm

One of the revolutionary ideas Cardstack brings to the table is the overthrowing of the current ad powered market. By keeping software solutions and services, open source backed by a cryptocurrency ecosystem will prove to be more sustainable and enjoyable on a long-term basis. It’s no secret people are tired of looking at ads that sometimes are even irrelevant.

The ability to mine a cryptocurrency and use the funds as one’s see fit is a much more viable option.

Disseminating data, knowledge and insights in a more democratic way, better than the currently employed model by the big companies will play a major role in the process of creating such a market.

### The Roadmap Ahead

Card stack plans to distribute 40% of its current token sum in multiple specific batches to ensure an equal opportunity to early and late contributors alike; these batches will be split as follows:

### Batch A (Early Adopters) 

The first batch of tokens will be distributed to teams and individuals who have been active in the Cardstack community from the very beginning and have plans to continue to support and grow with the community. This process is conducted in a hand-picked fashion and is subject to KYC/AML (Know-Your-Customer / Anti-Money-Laundering) rules. Those who contribute on in this batch will be offered a bonus of 20%.

### Batch B (Pre-allocation)

The second batch of tokens is going to be available at a Token Generation Event that will take place in Cardstack community. Members who wish to obtain an allocation of up to 50,000 USD equivalent of CARD tokens will receive a 10% bonus.

### Batch C (Crowd Fundraiser)

 During this event, the first 6 hours of the crowd fundraiser period, the cap will be set at a relatively low number. This will ensure that all approved contributors will have enough tokens to redeem with their fiat currency.
