Pocket Network

Pocket Network is the decentralized RPC layer of Web3 — a permissionless, fully open data delivery protocol built on Cosmos SDK and CometBFT (the Shannon upgrade, June 2025). 5,000+ independent supplier nodes serve relays across 60-69+ blockchains, metered in compute units at $1/billion and settled on-chain in POKT under deflationary tokenomics (PIP-41, 97.5% mint ratio). Grove (grove.city) is the for-profit infrastructure company that operates the largest gateway on the network — rpc.grove.city — and maintains PATH, the open-source Go gateway any operator can run to expose Pocket Network as a single HTTP endpoint. Grove offers free no-API-key per-IP public endpoints per chain (eth.rpc.grove.city, solana.rpc.grove.city, etc.) plus paid portal applications with relay analytics and SLAs. Together they form the canonical decentralized alternative to Alchemy / Infura / QuickNode for serving JSON-RPC, REST, and WebSocket traffic to any public blockchain.

Pocket Network publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Application API, Bank API, Blocks API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Web3, Blockchain, RPC, Decentralized Infrastructure, and Pocket Network.

The Pocket Network catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Pocket Network’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, tooling, changelog, engineering blog, getting-started guide, and 45 more developer resources.

  - Shannon protocol — Cosmos SDK + CometBFT chain replacing Morse in June 2025
  - 5,000+ independent nodes serving 60-69+ blockchains (EVM, Layer-2s, Cosmos, Solana)
  - PATH gateway (Go, MIT) — open-source single-binary gateway for any operator to run
  - Grove hosted endpoints — rpc.grove.city per-chain subdomains for portal and public traffic
  - Compute-unit metering — $1 = 1B CU, deflationary via POKT burn on every relay (PIP-41)
  - On-chain actors — Application, Supplier, Gateway, Validator, Source Owner
  - RelayMiner — supplier-side daemon proxying relays with revenue-share splits
  - Quality-of-Service scoring inside PATH routes around degraded suppliers automatically
  - Public free per-IP endpoints across every supported chain for development
  - 99.9% uptime target on Grove public endpoints
  - Authenticated portal applications via opaque Application IDs in URL path
  - Permissionless service registration — anyone can add a new chain by staking a service
  - F-Chains public-data program for non-profit/public-goods consumers
  - $1 per billion compute units wholesale, $1 per million relays Grove pay-as-you-go (RELAY2025)
  - poktrolld CLI (homebrew-pocketd) for full Cosmos SDK tx/query/keys operations
  - Shannon SDK (Go), poktroll-clients-py (Python), shannon-tx-builder (Python)
  - Pocketdex (SubQuery) indexer powering Pocket Explorer
  - Pocket Network Foundation governance with on-chain PIP proposals
  - Available as decentralized RPC backend for Cosmos Keplr chain registry integrations

description: Pocket Network is the decentralized RPC layer of Web3 — a permissionless, fully open data delivery protocol built
  on Cosmos SDK and CometBFT (the Shannon upgrade, June 2025). 5,000+ independent supplier nodes serve relays across 60-69+
  blockchains, metered in compute units at $1/billion and settled on-chain in POKT under deflationary tokenomics (PIP-41,
  97.5% mint ratio). Grove (grove.city) is the for-profit infrastructure company that operates the largest gateway on the
  network — rpc.grove.city — and maintains PATH, the open-source Go gateway any operator can run to expose Pocket Network
  as a single HTTP endpoint. Grove offers free no-API-key per-IP public endpoints per chain (eth.rpc.grove.city, solana.rpc.grove.city,
  etc.) plus paid portal applications with relay analytics and SLAs. Together they form the canonical decentralized alternative
  to Alchemy / Infura / QuickNode for serving JSON-RPC, REST, and WebSocket traffic to any public blockchain.
