What is Shift?
Shift is the first next-gen blockchain with a built-in “killer dApp.” While other companies are busy writing whitepapers and raising hundreds of millions of dollars, Shift has been busy working: we have created the backbone of a robust dApp ecosystem, with a strong and democratic dPOS platform of decentralization that can be used by anyone who knows JavaScript. The Phantom dApp with Shift will create a new decentralized web, empowering everyday users and keeping their content safe.
We are confident that providing the first low cost, easy-to-use decentralized hosting infrastructure, which saves users money over traditional file storage methods and protects their content from external censorship, will act as a massive stimulus for the mainstream adoption of Shift.
Shift’s first official dApp, called Phantom, is a user interface for file management over the IPFS network on Shift’s cluster. Data can be pinned — based on a tokenomic services model — to be permanently stored on the cluster. Phantom also contains a wizard that enables decentralized web hosting and supports the management of real top level domains.
