‘AWS for Web 3.0’ – Pocket Network Shakes Up Infrastructure of the Internet

January 14, 2022 – Tampa Bay, Florida

Pocket Network crosses significant 20,000 full-node milestone in over 23 countries.

Pocket Network – an infrastructure middleware protocol that facilitates decentralized cloud computing and abundant bandwidth on full nodes interoperable with DApps across over 21 blockchains – doubles down on its market-based approach to infrastructure by incentivizing a global community of independent node operators and service providers running more than 21,000 nodes, adding to the network’s resilience.

Pocket Network is secured by over $320 million worth of network infrastructure distributed globally across 23 countries and reduces the risk of service downtime to near zero for any layer one or industry DApps as work is distributed evenly across thousands of full nodes, which also protects end users’ privacy.

Pocket Network – who last week closed a strategic round led by Republic Capital, RockTree Capital and Arrington Capital – is undergoing exponential growth as demand for its network measured in API calls or relays jumped to 5.78 billion relays in December 2021, up 44% from November.

Omer Ozden, CEO of RockTree Capital, said,

“Pocket is the first mover, changing the game as core infrastructure for the web 3.0 revolution. For those that are seeking the next high-growth first mover like AWS or Ethereum, you can see transparently on-chain the parabolic growth of actual usage and of actual revenues of the Pocket Network. The metrics have been super impressive, and we look forward to the scaling 2022 will bring.”

Pocket Network has generated a $56 million revenue in December 2021, up from $29 million in November, and currently supports over 2,000 DApps run across its network – which are integrated with Solana along with Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Binance, Harmony, Gnosis (formerly xDai), Fuse and many more.

Michael O’Rourke, CEO at Pocket Network, said,

“There is increased investment in public, open-source infrastructure through crypto networks that continue to chip away at the dominance of today’s providers, reducing them to commodities. Our attractive economic flywheel model for our network is simple and naturally drives growth – attractive node-running incentives add more nodes, which in turn creates more redundancy and better DApp service experience, and more DApp usage then generates more node revenue.”

Pocket meaningfully encourages and incentivizes niche cloud providers which commercially have been less viable over the last decade with massively well-known incumbents dominating the traditional market, and aims to provide web 3.0 with a much more compatible infrastructure network.
