In the past ten years, Bitcoin sparked an interest in decentralization, not only for internet-cash but also for decision making (DAO) and numerous other aspects of our life. Three years ago, the StackOS team saw a huge opportunity in decentralizing the cloud. Since then, the team has been building non-stop and over the past years, it has only become clearer that a decentralized cloud protocol is needed.

For example, a few months ago millions of websites went down as a huge fire in a data center of one of the biggest cloud providers in Europe disrupted the cloud service. Applications going down, even if it is for a short amount of time, can cost a company millions of Dollars.

What does the StackOS decentralized cloud protocol look like?

StackOS is an open protocol that allows individuals to collectively offer a decentralized cloud in return for Stack tokens. Developers can deploy any full-stack application, decentralized app, blockchain privatenets, and mainnet nodes. Summarized, StackOS is the decentralized version of Amazon AWS with all the benefits decentralization offers.

Why should projects use the StackOS decentralized cloud protocol?

When StackOS is compared to Amazon AWS and Google Cloud, there is a list of reasons why one should choose for the decentralized cloud protocol of StackOS:

  1. Cheaper, and it would reduce further with the economy of scale. In the future, the price will be determined by using data from DAO and the infra node providers.
  2. Once you decide to use StackOS you can deploy your application in minutes. This is incredibly fast as deploying an application on Amazon AWS takes about 2 weeks while using the expertise of highly-skilled DevSecOps resources with high wages.
  3. Launching an application on StackOS is anonymous. We don’t know what runs on the cloud and who deployed it.
  4. Unstoppable, even if a node provider gets deleted from the network, the application will failover to another instance in real-time. Hence no one can stop it.
  5. Marketplace for a decentralized economy allows applications to be NFTs, so the original author can be incentivized when an application is deployed from the marketplace.
  6. One-Click Deployment of applications from the Marketplace.
  7. At other cloud providers, the revenue goes to shareholders. At StackOS the revenue goes to individuals who contribute resources to the cloud.
  8. As the value of the network grows, the people using the network gain.
