VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 1, 2025 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company"), a developer of decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure, has partnered with Orbit AI ("Orbit AI"), a Singapore-based aerospace company developing the Orbital Cloud -- a new form of space-based infrastructure where communication, computation, and verification converge beyond Earth.

The Orbital Cloud combines AI computing (DeStarAI), global connectivity (DeStarlink), and blockchain verification (Intellistake) to create an intelligent satellite network that can process and verify data directly in orbit. By shifting these processes off Earth, the platform removes dependence on centralized data centers, creating a faster, more secure, and censorship-resistant framework for AI systems.
Intellistake intends to provide validator and node infrastructure to secure this system, acting as the blockchain verification layer within Orbit AI's Coordination Layer. This blockchain backbone is designed to enable satellites to authenticate data, coordinate AI workloads, and record verified transactions independently of terrestrial networks.
The partnership positions Intellistake at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and aerospace infrastructure, extending its proven expertise in decentralized technologies to a new frontier. Through its pending acquisition of Singularity Venture Hub, Intellistake combines technical leadership and deep industry resources to execute on large-scale infrastructure projects bridging decentralized AI and traditional enterprise systems.
As AI capabilities expand beyond Earth, secure and autonomous systems are essential. The Orbital Cloud seeks to meet this need by creating an interconnected satellite mesh capable of global AI computation, blockchain verification, and communication in orbit. Intellistake's contribution ensures the network is transparent, trustless, and verifiable -- making it possible for AI systems to run in space with integrity and independence.
According to The Business Research Company, the orbital infrastructure market is projected to expand from USD $13.5 billion in 2024 to $21.3 billion by 20292. The broader satellite market is forecast to reach USD $615.7 billion by 20323, while the in-orbit data centers market -- central to Orbit AI's DeStarAI -- is expected to rise from USD $1.77 billion in 2029 to $39.1 billion by 20354. The satellite data-services market is also forecast to grow from USD $12.16 billion in 2024 to $55.24 billion by 20345.
The Orbital Cloud introduces a new category of infrastructure for AI and blockchain systems:
- Security: Blockchain verification ensures every data process and transaction is traceable and tamper-proof.
- Efficiency: AI computing happens where the data is generated, reducing latency and energy costs.
- Sovereignty: Decentralized design prevents dependence on single jurisdictions or centralized systems.
- Scalability: Each new satellite node increases computing and verification capacity, strengthening the network.
"The Orbital Cloud depends on blockchain infrastructure that can function autonomously and securely in orbit," said Gus Liu, Co-Founder of Orbit AI. "Intellistake's validator and verification technology completes the trust layer of our architecture, ensuring that data and AI processing in space remain transparent and independently verifiable. We are really excited to see where this partnership can take us"
"This is a massive step forward," said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake Technologies Corp. "You don't often get the chance to work on something that's truly never been done before. With the talent and vision on both sides, there's huge potential in what we can build together. Partnering with Orbit AI opens the door to an entirely new frontier-- one where AI, data, and trust can operate seamlessly in space, and where the groundwork we're laying now could redefine how decentralized systems evolve for years to come."
Orbit AI's first satellite, Genesis-1, featuring onboard Ethereum wallet and blockchain-node capabilities, is expected to launch in December 2025. In 2026, Orbit AIplans to deploy a small network of satellites integrating AI computing and blockchain verification, with full constellation rollout anticipated by 2028–2030. Intellistake looks forward to supporting these milestones as AI and blockchain infrastructure move beyond Earth, with more developments to be shared as this collaboration advances.
In connection with the partnership, Intellistake and Smartlink AI Limited (a Singapore company doing business as Orbit AI) entered into a Collaboration Framework Agreement dated November 28, 2025 (the "Agreement"). Intellistake intends to complete an initial investment of US$500,000 in Orbit AI in return for a 1% equity interest. Intellistake will also have the option to invest an additional US$1 million for equity at a valuation to be determined based on Orbit AI's next round of financing, which with the approval of Orbit AI may be increased to up to US$10 million, contingent on agreement on final terms and to be completed prior to the launch of DeStarlink Genesis-2 which is expected in 2026.
