Intellistake Technologies Corp. has entered into a strategic partnership with Orbit AI, a Singapore-based aerospace company developing a satellite-powered platform known as the Orbital Cloud. The collaboration aims to create a decentralized system where AI computation, global connectivity, and blockchain verification operate directly in space. Industry analysts view this alliance as a step that positions both companies at the forefront of emerging off-Earth digital infrastructure.
Orbit AI is developing a low-Earth orbit satellite network called DeStarlink, along with an orbital AI compute and data-center system known as DeStarAI. These components form the technological backbone of the Orbital Cloud, which intends to shift essential digital processes away from centralized, Earth-bound data centers. By enabling satellites to process, authenticate, and verify data in orbit, the platform seeks to create a faster, more resilient, and censorship-resistant foundation for AI-driven applications.
Intellistake, recognized for building decentralized AI and blockchain systems, will provide validator and node infrastructure that secures Orbit AI’s network. Its role forms the blockchain verification layer in Orbit AI’s Coordination Layer—an architectural component that allows satellites to authenticate data, manage AI tasks, and record verified transactions independently of terrestrial networks. The company’s pending acquisition of Singularity Venture Hub further strengthens its technical capabilities, enabling it to support large-scale infrastructure that bridges decentralized AI with enterprise systems.
Creating Autonomous Space-Based AI Systems
As AI systems extend beyond Earth, the need for secure and autonomous infrastructure increases. The Orbital Cloud aims to meet this requirement by establishing an interconnected satellite mesh capable of global AI computation, blockchain-based verification, and high-speed orbital communication. Intellistake’s involvement is intended to ensure that the system remains transparent, trustless, and independently verifiable. This approach allows AI workloads to run in orbit with integrity, without relying on centralized authorities.
Market forecasts suggest substantial growth for orbital technologies. The Business Research Company projects the orbital infrastructure market to expand from USD 13.5 billion in 2024 to over USD 21 billion by 2029. The global satellite industry is also expected to rise significantly, reaching more than USD 615 billion by 2032. Meanwhile, the in-orbit data-center segment—central to DeStarAI—is expected to climb from USD 1.77 billion in 2029 to over USD 39 billion by 2035. Satellite data-services revenue is likewise projected to grow sharply over the next decade. These trends indicate increasing demand for the type of infrastructure that Orbit AI and Intellistake are building.
Features of the Orbital Cloud
The Orbital Cloud is designed to introduce an entirely new category of decentralized space infrastructure. Its core elements include:
Security: A blockchain-based verification layer makes data processing and transactions traceable and tamper-resistant.
Efficiency: AI computations occur directly in orbit, reducing latency and energy use by minimizing the need to transmit data to Earth.
Sovereignty: Decentralized architecture removes reliance on any single country or centralized organization.
Scalability: Each added satellite expands the network’s computing and verification power.
Leaders from both companies emphasized the significance of the collaboration. Orbit AI’s co-founder described Intellistake’s validator technology as the missing trust layer that completes the architecture, noting that it allows space-based AI processing to remain transparent and independently verifiable. Intellistake’s CEO characterized the partnership as a rare opportunity to participate in building infrastructure that has never been implemented before, suggesting that the combined expertise of the two organizations could redefine how decentralized systems evolve as they expand into orbit.
Roadmap for the Space Network
Orbit AI’s first satellite, Genesis-1, which includes an onboard blockchain node and Ethereum wallet, is expected to launch in December 2025. The company plans to follow this with a small satellite cluster in 2026 that integrates AI computing with blockchain verification. A full constellation rollout is anticipated between 2028 and 2030. Intellistake has stated that it expects to support each major milestone as the network expands beyond Earth.
As part of the partnership, Intellistake and Smartlink AI Limited, the entity operating as Orbit AI, signed a Collaboration Framework Agreement on November 28, 2025. Intellistake intends to make an initial investment of USD 500,000 in exchange for a 1 percent equity stake in Orbit AI. The agreement includes an option for Intellistake to invest an additional USD 1 million during the next financing round, which may be increased to as much as USD 10 million with Orbit AI’s consent and subject to final terms. This investment is expected to be completed before the planned launch of the DeStarlink Genesis-2 satellite in 2026.
The partnership establishes Intellistake as a crucial participant in shaping decentralized space infrastructure. As both AI and blockchain capabilities begin moving off the planet, the alliance signals a transformative shift in how digital systems may operate across Earth and orbit in the coming decade.
