Status is an open source gateway to access the Ethereum Network, for Android & iOS.
-
With Ethereum, for the first time ever, we can create real trustless, permissionless and decentralized systems with fair access. We can do this free from authority and middemen, and help facilitate the transition to a more open, censorship resistant internet, where users are in control of their own data.
-
Status looks like a messenger, but it's so much more than that - it's built entirely on peer-to-peer technologies, and provides not only a medium for free trade and communication, but also a window to access decentralized applications.
-
Note: Most DApps are compatible with all clients: Mist, MetaMask, and Status. With the Ethereum JavaScript API, web3.js, on the front-end, the idea is that once you have developed your DApp for the desktop, you can deploy it on mobile with Status. It will run the same on all clients. Develop once, run everywhere.

Status is an open source messaging platform and mobile browser to interact with decentralized applications that run on the Ethereum Network.

Status is both a Web 3.0 browser, and a messaging platform. To be eligible for prizes, whatever it is you build, just needs to work inside of Status. The protocols we're built on are still in alpha, and our API is highly experimental - so a number of bugs are to be expected, and feedback for improvements are welcome.
