Founded in 2017, Pocket is a decentralized blockchain data platform for coordinating and distributing data to Web3 developers and their end users at scale.
Reading and writing data from/to blockchains can pose challenges for developers of applications. Pocket Network solves data relay issues by incentivizing a network of tens of thousands of globally distributed RPC nodes to relay data to and from any blockchain, and provide blockchain data to the end users of applications, while ensuring maximum uptime and optimized speed through the unique decentralization of its network of nodes. This is all backed by a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism.
“Partnering with Blockdaemon is an exciting move for Pocket Network and our entire ecosystem,” said Michael O’Rourke, Pocket Network CEO and co-founder.
“Blockdaemon unlocks a whole new level of institutional access into our protocol, and does so with an unmatched level of industry expertise and focus on security. We are thrilled to evolve the way that institutions can participate in Pocket Network with Blockdaemon’s support.”
Blockdaemon will play an active role in the Pocket Network community as a validator. As a Pocket Network validator, Blockdaemon will actively verify blockchain data from Pocket’s supported blockchains back to dApps and end users.
Additionally, Blockdaemon will participate in both the servicing of data relays as well as consensus and block proposing. At launch, Blockdaemon will be supporting Ethereum, NEAR, and Solana, with plans to support additional protocols in the future.
