Our take
Chainstack, a Web3 development company, builds platforms to help developers make better use of Web3 infrastructure, rather than building the infrastructure from scratch themselves. Chainstack is in essence, the “chain” between developers and blockchain, building a platform subscription for software engineers.
Chainstack’s platform capabilities are very versatile, allowing developers to use it for crypto, cybersecurity, and supernets. A cloud-based service, it has bolstered its expertise with the hiring of experienced industry specialist Jan-Jaap Jager as CEO.
Chainstack’s continued success will depend on the use by developers of its platform for non-crypto purposes. The ongoing instability of the cryptocurrency market means that other applications of Web3 and blockchain must take center stage.
