About company
Shift is an accessible and open-source blockchain application platform. Developers can create their own decentralized applications (dApp) with the benefit of an easy setup. Each dApp will have its own sidechain that is independent from Shift's main chain, but sidechains can still connect to and synchronize with the main chain. This enables infinite scalability without endangering the stability of the main chain. Shift's blockchain technology is written in JavaScript, encouraging mass-adoption since coders are already familiar with this programming language. Every dApp will have access to Shift's own IPFS cluster to store data using a promising peer-2-peer hypermedia distribution protocol, the InterPlanetary File System. The existence of the Shift token —defined as a utility coin — allows every dApp owner to implement an intrinsic monetization model or trading platform for digital assets in their dApp.
