Avalanche Taps StackOS for DeCloud Capabilities

Decentralized cloud protocol StackOS is joining forces with the
Avalanche blockchain platform, after being declared the network’s
preferred DeCloud provider for its growing developer ecosystem. The
confirmation follows a poll conducted on the official StackOS
Twitter account, one that saw users quizzed about which blockchain
they would like to see the protocol become interoperable with.
After thousands of followers had their say, Avalanche was named the
winner with 75.9% of votes cast, beating out the likes of Cardano,
Polygon (formerly Matic), and Solana. As the first decentralized
cloud protocol operating on Avalanche’s fast-growing smart contract
platform, developers will have the opportunity to leverage StackOS’
cross-chain Infrastructure Protocol to deploy full-stack
applications, high-traffic decentralized applications (dApps),
blockchain privatenets and mainnet nodes. In addition, the DeCloud
leader will support future technical Avalanche events by sponsoring
compute, rewards, and educating developers on how to anonymously
leverage StackOS’ no-code, UI-based application deployment engine
in a matter of minutes. Decentralizing the Cloud While Bitcoin
popularized the idea of decentralized currency, and the defi
movement has precipitated the emergence of an open and transparent
alternative to legacy tradfi, StackOS is determined to make itself
the face of DeCloud. In doing so, the permissionless protocol hopes
to rumble the established big cloud cartel dominated by centralized
entities such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft, principally by
saving clients the hassle of paying for expensive set-ups and
ongoing maintenance overheads. Global spending on public cloud
services was predicted to grow by 23.1% this year, from $270
billion in 2020 to $332.3 billion. Unlike existing cloud solutions,
StackOS requires no sign-up or infrastructure costs, with
computational power and storage provided by third parties
(individuals, businesses) who receive cryptocurrency rewards in the
form of $STACK tokens. Literally, anyone can join the network and
start supplying their computational power. The Avalanche team has
requested for its nodes to be added to the one-click deploy StackOS
App Store, thereby creating a network of ‘unstoppable’ Avalanche
nodes and giving developers the ability to expeditiously deploy an
Avalanche node. Devs will also be able to take advantage of
deploying work-in-progress applications on private testnets before
promoting them to the mainnet. According to StackOS, the number of
service requests served on the apps deployed on its platform
recently surpassed the three-million mark, a little more than three
months since the mainnet launched in August. A Blockchain Cloud
Takeover The relationship with Avalanche is not the first time
StackOS has provided its DeCloud services to a fast-growing Layer-2
blockchain. Other large projects have also adopted StackOS’
decentralized cloud to bring one-click nodes and seamless
deployments to their developer ecosystem. StackOS was previously
incubated as the de facto DeCloud solution on the NEO platform,
too. Some 250 individual projects now deploy on Stack’s trustless
cloud, which is powered by cluster operators scattered around the
world. Within the growing ecosystem, community members can become
governors with two tiers – Node Apprentice and Node Authority –
corresponding to the number of tokens staked. StackOS governors can
variously influence burn rates per resource purchase transaction
and the height of annual yield in the governor pool. Like its new
DeCloud provider, Avalanche has enjoyed impressive traction in the
market since launching last year. Ava Labs’ layer-2 scaling
solution, which supports a glut of DeFi dApps and subnets and is
fully interoperable with Ethereum, is now a bonafide top 10
blockchain due to its ultra-low fees and high throughput (4,500+
tps). With a powerful DeCloud provider now part of its armory,
Avalanche’s inexorable expansion looks set to continue. About
Avalanche Avalanche is the fastest smart contracts platform in the
blockchain industry, as measured by time-to-finality. Avalanche is
blazingly fast, low cost, and eco-friendly. Any smart
contract-enabled application can outperform its competition by
deploying on Avalanche. Don’t believe it? About StackOS StackOS is
a cross-chain open protocol that allows individuals and
organizations to share their computing resources and collectively
offer a decentralized cloud; where developers around the world can
deploy any full-stack application, decentralized app, blockchain
private nets, and main net nodes. We aim to provide the world with
“The Unstoppable Infrastructure Protocol”, which will allow any
person across the world to deploy their application without
incurring heavy cloud management costs and freely run any
application they wish to run. StackOS furthermore intends to help
brick and mortar businesses around the globe, to go online
cost-effectively and securely with minimal technical overhead.
