About POKT
Pocket Network is a decentralized RPC protocol that coordinates a global mesh of node runners and gateways to provide on-chain data for apps across 50+ blockchains. Its native token, POKT, powers data relays, staking, and protocol governance on its high-performance Cosmos SDK-based Layer-1. With recent upgrades through the Shannon release, Pocket introduces a permissionless gateway layer, multi-format data support, and a refined burn-based fee system. Developers pay micro-fees in POKT to access blockchain data via gateways, while node runners stake POKT to serve relays and earn emissions. Bridged across Ethereum, Solana, Base, BNB Chain, and others, POKT enables low-cost, censorship-resistant Web3 infrastructure while aligning usage with token deflation and ecosystem growth.
