Awesome

Meroku is the world's first community-owned omnichain dapp store. We are trying to remove redundant costs which exist in web2 (eg. cloud hosting ) and centralised authorities who control access and define their own rules to stop dapp developers from innovating. We feel the future will be self-hosted dapp stores with complete transparency. This framework is the start of that journey, please join us and help create a more open and secure web3.

Please note: We don't have a website or any token. This repo is only official spot.

Benefits:

• It allows you (the user) to install and run dApps locally. Complete trust and security + self hosting.
• It allows you (the developer of dApp) to distribute it to a huge audience without hosting anywhere.
