# Introducing Othentic Stack

Othentic Stack is the development framework for decentralized services. 

**Decentralized service is:** 

* A complex system designed for a unique computing purpose.
* A service that runs its own validator set.
* A Proof of Stake (PoS) network.

Leveraging a library of production-ready and configurable components, developers can focus on their core service logic while abstracting away complexities around consensus, operators, networking, messaging, and attestations.

Equipped with a programmable consensus engine, the framework enables the **execution and validation of any type of service**, providing a foundation for a wide range of applications.

**The Othentic Stack is an ever-evolving framework.** As work on the Stack continues, novel modules and components will be integrated and become available for developers to plug in and configure.
