If you're in Istanbul on the 16th, please join us for a Builder Mixer with @developer_dao , @API3DAO , & @PhalaNetwork ! Good vibes, good food, in good company. Register now:

@POKTnetwork ecosystem operates like a well-oiled machine. Think of it as a giant puzzle. The applications are the pieces you love to use, but they need gateways - the connectors - to work. These gateways optimize performance, like turbo boosters for your favorite apps. #POKT

Hey! @POKTnetwork and @BuildWithGrove basically invented this category with decentralized infrastructure at the RPC layer. Myself or our CEO, @o_rourke , would love to participate!

⚡ @POKTnetwork Thread Contest ⚡ Decentralised infra brings many advantages but is more complex to understand. (Nothing worth doing is easy!) We're launching a thread contest to ask 🫵 to help explain how POKT achieves this as the RPC Base-layer (1000 USDC + CODE)

The latest collection and burn of gateway fees has taken the overall total over 6M POKT. This demonstrates that since the protocol began generating revenue, it has generated a total of 6M+ POKT, which have been burned and removed from circulation. 🔥💰

Excited for this convo around the intersect of B2B adoption and the P2P ethos. Set your reminders! 🔔

Excited to partner as @developer_dao 's preferred RPC. POKT Network is building the RPC base layer, on a journey to powering Web3 with unstoppable open data. Glad to travel the next leg of this journey in such good company. 💪

The Pocket Ecosystem thrived with even more activity this past week, marking another chapter of growth and innovation! ICYMI, here's your rewind. 🧵✨

Feeling 🇹🇷 Istanbullish? Join us for a Builder Mixer with @API3DAO , @POKTnetwork & @PhalaNetwork ! We're bringing together the builders creating our decentralised future with good vibes, drinks, food, merch and networking. Spots Limited. RSVP now!

FWIW so far we're extremely happy with the decision. The ability to focus on utility is helping us accelerate towards the Shannon upgrade and everything that unlocks.

Proud to power @BuildWithGrove and @BuildonKlaytn ! Supporting frictionless access to @klaytn_official 's on-chain world, via infrastructure that is owned and governed by its users.

📊 Grove’s Klaytn Metrics: 📝Over 5.9B requests since Aug 2022 ⏱️Average response time: ~76ms 🌐Success rates above 99% across 17 gateway regions Impressive figures that assure #DApps on Klaytn of consistent top-tier performance! 🚀

@block_science are about to start the modelling and simulation work to choose the starting parameters but this is the mechanism we plan to use to take into account mint, burn and everyone’s incentives

Relay Mining got its first citation last week! Still recall how fun and productive of a collaboration this was with @Rama_stdout Stay tuned for more research around @POKTnetwork coming out in the future ;)

Last week, the DAO collected over 220K POKT in gateway fees for relays served by the protocol. Now, these fees have been burned and removed from circulation. The journey towards sustainability continues! Track our progress:

. @POKTnetwork activity measured in relays serviced was up 18% YoY in line with the rest of the infrastructure sector, despite a decrease in Q3'23. Additionally, the Rollkit framework and Celestia will be integrated for the Shannon upgrade in 2024.

Great to see such strong validation of @BuildWithGrove as a Gateway, @POKTNetwork as the RPC base layer, and the whole DePIN proposition. High performance. Low cost. The worlds's most important digital infrastructure, owned and governed by its users.

For the last year, we've worked quietly, building in the shade on improvements to the network. Now we're about to get loud. See our full post here:

1/ On November 1st, POKT Network’s current public RPC endpoints will switch to another set of endpoints. To maintain uninterrupted (decentralized) service, users need to update the endpoints in wallets like MetaMask. We’re sorry for any frustration or inconvenience.

The Pocket Ecosystem is a bustling hub of innovation, with every week bringing its own set of achievements and advancements! The past week was packed with even more action. Here's the lowdown in case you missed it. 🧵✨

In our latest blog, @b3nnn21 and @Dermot_Oriordan explore... - why the "community" meme is so strong - the Sisyphean struggle and original sin of DAOs - what DAO "citizenship" means + what it unlocks Also summarised in thread: 🧵

Over the past two weeks, we've received incredible Odes to #Ethereum for our @jokerace_xyz comp Submitters lobbied for votes, while community members cast their votes. And now, it's time to unveil the winner of the coveted 2nd place prize! Everyone, gather around!

We've just witnessed the second-highest weekly burn! 283.5K POKT🔥 These burns symbolize the REVENUE generated by the protocol in the previous week. Gateways are charged a fee for each relay served by the protocol, which is then paid in POKT to the DAO and burned every week!

AMA: More @palomabotai , New chains, & @nodies_infra 🚀 Packed show! We explore the new @paloma_chain & learn about new bots on new chains Also, we welcome @dachi_nodies to talk about what they bring to our validators! 📅 Oct 25 Wed ⌚ 8AM PST/11AM EDT

🚨 BREAKING: @POKTnetwork has just skyrocketed to the 2nd place in @web3index 's rankings of revenue-generating protocols!

As someone who works in crypto, I try hard to avoid stating that "blockchain is the solution to this," but this is exactly what @POKTnetwork was designed for and what @BuildWithGrove can enable if an upcoming proposal to the protocol from @C0D3R_org is approved.

🗣️ Attention all @POKTDAO governance token holders, wPOKT hodlers, and @gitcoin donors! It's time to cast your votes for your favorite Ode to Ethereum. Serious lobbying is already taking place on TG & Discord. 😆 Voting will conclude in 7 days. Link:

Curious about the purpose of these weekly burns? 🤔 Here's how it works: The DAO charges gateway operators a fee for each relay served by the protocol. And what happens to that fee? It gets burned! 🔥 Last week alone, a total of 235.5K POKT was collected and burned.

We're proud to be part of delivering Scroll on the @POKTnetwork , giving you the ability to #BuildWithGrove on your Scroll projects.

Web3's not just pump artists. Turns out it's also full of poets. Haiku (5-7-5) Contracts smart and bright, Eth shines through every byte, Crypto’s fun, am I right?
