Wait, WTF is POKT Network 🤔
"The world wide web is generally divided into two parts; producers of data and consumers of data. POKT Network is the pipe through which this data flows."
POKT Network is Web3's RPC Base Layer. With POKT Network, any RPC business or app can build on top of cost-effective, scalable, and resilient Web3 infrastructure that is owned and governed by its users.
Their mission is to empower developers with access to the most reliable, performant & cost-effective data. They are building towards a future where the world's most important digital infrastructure is owned and governed by its users. Their purpose is to provide the world with unstoppable open data.
They started in 2017 - building DePIN long before DePIN was cool!
As of today, they served over 650bn data requests for 50+ blockchains, using a global network of thousands of nodes distributed across 22 different countries.
Pocket Users
Pocket users are divided into three main categories:
RPC Providers These are businesses or individuals providing RPC services they interface with the protocol through Gateways.
Developers and Web3 applications - make the consumer base of pocket network. They make the RPC requests to the blockchain data made available by the gateways. You can get generous free tier from any of our existing gateways
Blockchains - form the data layer of pocket network,it is from this data layer that RPC requests are served. Pocket network currently supports any chains that has support for RPC standard. Node runners are at the center of maintaining the health and availability of these chains and in return they get pocket token. We currently support 51 chains and the list still grows.
Pocket economics
Infrastructure is one of the places where decentralization unlocks big performance benefits. The current operational gateways on the network have managed to bring RPC cost to a mere $4.50 per million request, whilst boasting a generous free tier.
At the center of the network is pocket token - a conditional deflationary token that incentives the pocket ecosystem by charging a fee to the gateways that plug into the protocol. Find a way to buy it here.
Pocket governance
Pocket network is governed by a highly functional and transparent DAO that encompasses the Pocket DNA.
Pocket’s purpose is to provide Unstoppable Open Data to enable a future where the world’s most important digital infrastructure is governed by its users. ---Pocket DNA
The DAO operates through ERA. ERA provide a mechanism of “Cycles” to operate transparently and to learn and iterate, enabling the DAO to fund priority projects without major distraction from the core role of executing. The ERA Budget makes funds available to contributors through:
IDEAS (Community Suggestions)
Bounties (Supporting Keystone projects, protocol development or other key tasks)
Sockets (Rapid, permissionless seed grants)
POPs (Pocket Open Priorities, like RFPs)
