Giving access to **Qortal** () along with its completely **Decentralized/Distributed/Encrypted data network** (QDN) powers: * Decentralized Web Hosting (no continual fees, publish once it stays forever.) * Decentralized Application hosting (both user interface and application completely decentralized.) * Multitude of existing functional Q-Apps (decentralized applications on Qortal's network) The **Qortal Blockchain-Based Infrastructure** is \*\*the only truly decentralized, freedom-focused, and individually sovereign digital platform in the world. Come check it out for yourself! **NOTE** - the snap store is saying that the software is proprietary, this is NOT TRUE, EVERYTHING IN QORTAL IS 100% OPEN SOURCE. The Code for the Qortal UI can be found here - The other repos of the project are available here - **QDN - Qortal Data Network** - QDN is a decentralized/distributed/encrypted/chunked data network, powered by each node of the Qortal Network. QDN is completely UNIQUE, and unlike any other data network in the world. Data published on QDN is there indefinitely, getting stronger, faster, and more redundant with each new access by a user, or 'follower' node. There is no other network like Qortal. Combining the security of a blockchain-based authentication system and the power of a distributed/decentralized/encrypted/chunked data network to create a unique infrastructure unlike anything else in the world. A SINGLE 'Name Registration' fee (paid to the minters and users of the network, and not to any service provider) allows you to host your website, application, and data of all kinds FOREVER for NO CONTINUAL FEES. QORTAL AND THE QORTAL UI ARE COMPLETELY OPEN SOURCE - NOT SURE WHY SNAP SAYS IT IS PROPRIETARY, AS THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE GIT REPOS CAN BE FOUND HERE - - and soon there will be a git replacement built on QDN as well.
