StackOS provides a decentralized cloud infrastructure, utilizing an open protocol for individuals and organizations to contribute and access computing resources. This platform facilitates the deployment of full-stack and decentralized applications (dApps), creating a community-powered cloud by distributing processing across a global network.
Established in 2015, StackOS began with the recognition of decentralized infrastructure's potential. Vishnu Korde is the company's CEO, providing leadership. Advisor Fabio Canesin identified the core concept, paving the way for a platform that allows resources to be collectively offered.
The platform serves developers and end-users aiming to deploy applications on a distributed, open network. StackOS envisions an internet where applications run without centralized control, leveraging community-contributed computing power. The company strives to build an accessible, censorship-resistant, and collaborative cloud ecosystem.

StackOS is a technology company that builds a cross-chain open protocol for decentralized cloud computing, connecting developers with a distributed network of compute power. It enables individuals and organizations to share computing resources and collectively offer a decentralized cloud platform where developers can deploy full-stack applications, decentralized apps (DApps), blockchain nodes, and websites. This approach aims to reduce cloud management costs and provide a censorship-resistant, scalable infrastructure alternative to traditional centralized cloud providers. StackOS serves developers and organizations seeking decentralized, cost-effective, and resilient cloud infrastructure, riding the wave of blockchain and decentralized technology adoption[3][5][6].
Separately, there is also a StackOS software product integrated by Powin in the energy storage sector, which acts as the core software system managing battery energy storage systems (BESS), delivering safety, availability, and operational insights through a vertically integrated software stack. This StackOS is focused on energy management rather than decentralized cloud computing[4].
StackOS as a decentralized cloud protocol emerged from the blockchain ecosystem, particularly linked to the Stacks ecosystem on Bitcoin, aiming to create a user-owned internet infrastructure. The idea grew from the need to provide decentralized, scalable compute resources that anyone can contribute to or use, overcoming the limitations and costs of centralized cloud providers. The protocol supports Docker-based workloads and Kubernetes management out of the box, facilitating easy deployment and scaling of applications on a decentralized network[3].
The Powin StackOS software, by contrast, is a US-designed system developed internally by Powin to unify firmware, battery management, energy management, and cloud services for their battery storage hardware. It was created to ensure safety and operational efficiency in energy storage systems through a tightly integrated software approach[4].
For the decentralized cloud StackOS:
For Powin’s StackOS software:
StackOS rides the growing trend of decentralization in cloud computing, leveraging blockchain technology to disrupt traditional centralized cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The timing is critical as demand for decentralized infrastructure grows due to concerns over cloud vendor lock-in, data privacy, censorship, and cost. By enabling a decentralized network of compute resources, StackOS contributes to the broader movement toward Web3, decentralized finance (DeFi), and user-owned internet infrastructure. This protocol empowers developers and organizations to deploy applications globally without relying on centralized intermediaries, influencing the cloud and blockchain ecosystems alike[3][5][6].
Powin’s StackOS software plays a pivotal role in the energy storage industry by providing advanced software control and safety for battery systems, supporting the transition to renewable energy and grid modernization. Its integrated approach helps improve the reliability and safety of energy storage solutions, which is critical as the energy sector adopts more distributed and renewable resources[4].
For the decentralized cloud StackOS, the future likely involves expanding its network of compute providers and developers, enhancing cross-chain interoperability, and improving ease of use to compete with centralized cloud giants. Trends such as increased blockchain adoption, demand for decentralized applications, and edge computing will shape its growth. Its influence may grow as decentralized infrastructure becomes a foundational layer for Web3 and beyond.
For Powin’s StackOS software, continued innovation in battery management and energy storage optimization will be key, especially as renewable energy integration accelerates globally. Its role in ensuring safety and operational efficiency positions it well to support the evolving energy landscape.
Both versions of StackOS reflect a broader shift toward decentralized, integrated, and user-empowered technology solutions, each addressing critical infrastructure needs in their respective domains[3][4][5].
