Polygon and StackOS Join Forces to Bring DeCloud Revolution to Polygon Ecosystem

Decentralized compute protocol StackOS has become the first
decentralized cloud provider for the Polygon ecosystem. The
cross-chain protocol, which allows developers and users to deploy
full-stack applications, decentralized apps (dApps), blockchain
privatenets and mainnet nodes, will soon be interoperable with the
network along with its eponymous native token. Polygon Dead Set on
DeCloud This integration will enable Polygon-based projects to
securely deploy their applications at a lower cost, since there are
no steep set-up costs. There are currently over 200 apps running on
StackOS’ fast-growing decentralized cloud (DeCloud), which is
billed as a decentralized version of Amazon AWS. In addition to
becoming Polygon’s preferred decentralized cloud provider, StackOS
will add the Polygon node app to its own App Store so that
developers can launch a Polygon node with a single click. Polygon
developers can use these nodes for the mainnet of their projects or
alternatively, for private testing. The announcement of this
landmark partnership comes less than three months after the
project’s mainnet launch on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), though
multi-chain deployment support has long been a priority for the
StackOS team, which aims to eliminate dependence on expensive
DevOps resources. Ironically, the protocol was established by a
community of global developers, many of whom have extensive DevOps
experience. StackOS compels users (known as cluster operators) to
contribute computing resources in exchange for STACK tokens, which
can also be staked in exchange for annual yield (APY). Enterprises,
meanwhile, get to benefit from anonymous, no-code application
deployment without relying on a centralized cloud provider that
could shut them down at any minute. The ambition of Stack is to be
entirely community-governed, with voting power vested into the
hands of both a general DAO and a Node Authority, the latter of
which can vote on network issues such as the burning rate per
resource purchase. According to the StackOS litepaper, the protocol
is designed to “actively engage cloud providers and data centres to
contribute to StackOS’ open source technology, which will make it
easier for DevSecOps engineers to run clusters on their own
infrastructure and thereby increase their resource utilization.”
Previously known as Matic Network, Polygon is a layer-2 scaling
solution that connects Ethereum to other blockchains. Last month
the network managed to surpass the smart contract platform in terms
of active users, with over 566,000 recorded by Polygonscan. As a
community-based endeavor, StackOS will be hoping that a fair number
of those users eventually start contributing to its cloud network,
whether through governing or provisioning compute resources.
Decentralized cloud solutions are increasingly disrupting the
multi-billion-dollar cloud compute market, with a number of
platforms (ICP, Ethernity Cloud, Akash) touting advantages in terms
of UX, privacy, security and setup costs. By joining forces with
one of the world’s fastest-growing blockchain networks, StackOS has
well and truly put its name on the map. Polygon is the leading
platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its
growing suite of products offers developers easy access to all
major scaling and infrastructure solutions: L2 solutions (ZK
Rollups and Optimistic Rollups), sidechains, hybrid solutions,
stand-alone and enterprise chains, data availability solutions, and
more. Polygon’s scaling solutions have seen widespread adoption
with 3000+ applications hosted, ~600M total transactions processed,
~60M unique user addresses, and $5B+ in assets secured. If you’re

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. It aims 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.
