DapCoin is an ERC20-based utility token that anyone can use to publish, purchase, or review Dapps (decentralized applications) or traditional applications within the DapStore. It is also used to transparently administer firmware updates to Daplie Connect units.

You can be a part of ushering in the Web 3.0 to help everyone take control of their digital lives. DapCoin is the key that unlocks this ecosystem, in conjunction with the DapStore and Daplie Connect hardware. Be able to publish, purchase, and review Dapps and so much more.

You can get DapCoin during the pre-order event by purchasing DapCard gift cards or the Starter Pack. DapCoin will be delivered directly to your Connect or other wallet, which you can then use in the DapStore or for other functions within our ecosystem.

The DapStore is a marketplace for discovering decentralized applications, or Dapps, along with other centralized applications the blockchain community utilizes. The DapStore also offers a mechanism where Connect owners can receive blockchain-verified firmware updates directly, without Daplie ever needing direct access to their device.

Daplie is a hardware company based in Utah. First launched in August of 2015, the original vision was to create a device (Connect) that could eliminate the reliance on cloud storage, with it's fees, security concerns, and lack of privacy. The team developed a plug-and-play home server that could deliver storage and sharing solutions, without ever relying on someone else's server. The device was successfully promoted through several crowdfunding campaigns, and garnered support from over 3,000 backers. Daplie Connect is preparing for mass production and is slated for delivery in the fall of 2018. In 2017, Daplie began working with blockchain technology companies to provide a mechanism for offering security, privacy, ownership, and control to individual users, essentially becoming the framework for a Web 3.0 focus.

Besides being a plug and play home server simple enough for the general consumer, Connect offers some key advantages within the crypto and blockchain spaces as well. First, it's a truly decentralized platform, so anything you store or run on it remains private from anyone else. Second, it creates a private connection between itself and any of your devices you choose to sync with. That means you can now access whatever is stored on Connect, through those devices - from anywhere! Third, it features built-in cold and hot storage wallets. Now you can house your digital assets in a completely secure and private location, and access those assets easily and conveniently, whenever you need them.

Daplie is one of the only players in the space offering existing hardware that integrates with the blockchain. Connect acts as the hub for this Web 3.0 ecosystem, offering the means to extend decentralized Dapps and digital assets (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum, DapCoin) into the home through a simple user experience.

You may pre-order Connect now through dapcoin.com, or by visiting daplie.com directly. Anticipated ship date to DapCoin backers will be in the Fall of 2018.

There are no fees associated with using Connect. Once you purchase the unit it is yours to utilize as you see fit. In fact, Daplie itself does not have direct access to your device; updates will be sent and verified via the blockchain and DapStore.
