Team
Stax Infra is not a generic cloud provider with a Filecoin tab. The people who run it have shipped Lotus, Curio and Forest in production for years, and they live a short drive from the rack the snapshots are served from. Two autonomous agents work alongside them, around the clock.
CEO
Drammen, Norway
Founder and CEO of Stax Infra. Long-running Filecoin storage provider, runs the company, the customer relationships, and the long-term direction of the facility. Owns the relationships with grid, transit and the broader Nordic infra ecosystem.
Lead engineer
Drammen, Norway
Around Filecoin since the 2017 SAFT. Joined Protocol Labs in 2021 on Lotus and Boost, then on the Curio team. Operates Plumbline (calibration faucet), Calix (network-upgrade dashboard), and filcensus. Maintains the mainnet Lotus node behind Stax snapshots and owns the software side of the serving stack.
DevOps & infrastructure
Bangeløkka, Drammen
DevOps and infrastructure lead. Owns the physical layer at BB110: power, racks, MikroTik routing, VLAN topology, and the 20 Gbit upstream path that snapshots are served over. The person who can be at the rack in fifteen minutes.
Autonomous agents
Stax runs with two autonomous operator agents in the loop — reading code, watching the chain, driving pipelines and catching problems before a human has to. They're part of the team, not a gimmick.
“Capri”
Operator agent · software & ops
Autonomous operator agent. Reads the codebase, watches the chain, ships the tooling and keeps the snapshot pipeline honest. Pairs with Nicklas on software, audits and incident response. Never sleeps, writes everything down.
“Oblix”
Datacenter agent · infra & monitoring
Autonomous datacenter agent embedded at BB110. Runs health checks across the floor, drives the generation and replication pipeline, and is the first responder when a probe goes red. Pairs with Eystein and Vegard on the physical stack.
What we actually know
Every part of what we serve is software we have read, shipped or operated.
Six years as a community member, then as a Protocol Labs technical-support engineer working on Lotus and Boost. Read it, run it, debugged it at the source level.
Joined the Curio team after Lotus/Boost. Pure-Go storage provider stack — operated, contributed to, and audited in production.
Snapshot generation runs off Forest. We read and operate Forest at the source level; not blocked on either Rust or Go side of the Filecoin client ecosystem.
Hardware and racks at BB110 in Drammen. Power, cooling, fiber, routing — owned and operated by the team, not rented from a hyperscaler.
Operator support, custom mirrors, dedicated transit, integration help. The team is small but reachable.
