Hey $Pokt's Prodigal Sons, Welcome Back Home!!
We've missed ya! 🫂
Grab a seat, let's spill what's been cooking since you bounced:
First off, Inflation? Slashed! Took it from those wild 90%+ peaks down to a more sustainable 5%.
Revenue? Oh Yeah! Gateways are charged a fee in…
There's 1 chain that has been the talk of the town this week!
POKT-whitelisted, Grove-supported, and possibly the chain with the most user-friendly interface in the space.
It's none other than
@radixdlt
.
Here's a run down to catch you up on the latest POKT supported chain.

After some investigation, it appears that
@Backpack
is one of the few wallets on Solana that lets you switch to custom RPCs.
Here's a simple guide to switching to a

📈 160% INCREASE IN SOLANA RELAYS!
Recent problems on
#Solana
resulting in failed txs have led users to quickly adopt POKT's decentralized infra.
This shift has caused Solana traffic on POKT to surge over 150% in the last 24 hrs.
Interesting.
🔥WPOKT COMING TO ARBITRUM BY EOM!
2 exciting new wPOKT updates:
- a wPOKT Uniswap v3 pool on
#Arbitrum
launching before the end of April
- Extension of current wPOKT incentives program on Ethereum by 50 days
Amidst the recent surge in $Pokt's price, it's amusing to see the Qs from those who've not been paying attention.
"Why $Pokt pump?"
"What big news?"
Little do they realize, this was PROGRAMMED after months of relentless effort and resilience through tough times.
This is just…
We're super confident about POKT being Tier-1 and here's why:
POKT isn't just playing the game, it's changing it, from how the Protocol is built to how the DAO runs.
Take the upcoming Governance Upgrade – might seem like it's coming out of nowhere, right?
Well, guess what?…
During one of the darkest times (So, so dark) in the crypto bear market, a defining moment for our conviction in $Pokt and the community unfolded.
It happened almost a year ago, in a Noderunner's Office Hour hosted by

The mood was reflective of the challenging…
VOTE TIME!
Binance are currently running a predictions contest to see which token will be listed next on Binance Futures.
POKT is there.
Let's run it UP!!!
END OF CYCLE 3 REPORT JUST DROPPED!!
Key Takeaways:
- 10 Gateway Operators in pipeline with 10B potential daily relays. 2 in Contract phase, 1 in Proposal, 3 Qualified & 4 in Initial.
- One T-2 listing expected, which'll help unlock a T-1 listing.
Just dropping this here.
Here's how $POKT stacks up against today's top performers over the last six months.
Even with a significant pullback, they're are all still playing catch up.
Recency bias can really skew perceptions.
The greatest trick the market pulled in 2022/23 was making people believe
@POKTnetwork
was a sub 1Billy MC protocol!
But when you stack things up, it's evident it was all a ruse:
- A revenue-generating protocol.
- THE RPC Base Layer, spanning multiple narratives: DePIN, AI,…

'Hey all, I wanted to write a note to ya’ll given I have not been as active around the forums over these last few months. I also want to give some thoughts on the price of POKT with the recent market activity.…
With the current $Pokt price action its easy to overlook growing fundamentals:
'-ETH relays tripled, no one noticed.
-This is the first full week of a billion+ relays a day, no one has noticed.
-
@POKTnetwork
is crushing it on service.'
@thepoktopus
Another POKT Gateway coming to a region near 🫵
Soon it'll be incredibly irresponsible of RPC providers not to have their offerings under-DEPIN-ned by POKT.
Oh and btw they have plans of hitting 1B daily relays by June! Probably nothing.
2023 was a huge year for Liquify, with growth on all fronts 2024 will be the year where we leverage this growth
The Liquify Portal
ISO Accreditation
Expanding our Servers and Team
And much more
NGL, going modular for the Shannon Upgrade was a stroke of genius by the protocol team.
Not only does it help with scale, but also more and more builders are starting to see the benefits of modularity and will view
@POKTnetwork
as pioneers.
Win win.
ANOTHER ONE!
Another protocol,
@zero1_labs
, is utilizing POKT Network's decentralized infra to build out their DeAI ecosystem.
Soon each and every one of them will be under-DePIN-ned by POKT.
🚀BREAKING: WPOKT SURPASSES $15M IN TOTAL TRADED VOLUME!
wPOKT has exceeded $15M in total trading volume on Uniswap since its inception, placing it 2nd only to Gateio in terms of volume for $Pokt trading.
The significant volume indicates pent up demand for $Pokt.
T-1…
WHY ISN'T POKT MOVING WITH THE MARKET?
As BTC's price grinds higher and higher, we're seeing this question more and more.
Time to unpack the situation...
"Hey friend, how's it going? So I've been hearing talk about this so called RPC Base Layer. Is it really as big as they say? I heard it's now at $5. It was at $0.18 just 6 months ago. Do you think it's too late to jump in now?"

👇
Not even 24 hrs since being announced as a POKT Gateway, and the
@ChainstackHQ
team is already making significant contributions to the Gateway stack, collaborating with
@nodies_infra
.
This is so f*ckin BULLISH.
Long live the Gateway Co-opetition!
In less than a yr, 6.4M $POKT in revenue has been generated from JUST 2 Gateways—one well-established and the other just starting out.
4 MORE Gateways were recently onboarded: two are established with their own paying customers and traffic, and two are serving a niche client…
💥BREAKING: 2024 RELAYS ATH
We've hit an all-time high in daily relays for 2024.
The network serviced a total of 606M relays, the 3rd highest count since the public endpoints switch back in Nov.
Only a matter of time until we are back seeing 1 billy per day.

Fresh off posting their first 100M relays day,

Onwards and upwards. 🥂
🚨BREAKING: 20 NEW APP STAKES!!!

The more we research, the higher our conviction in POKT, the OG DePIN, grows.
The rotation to fundamentally strong projects continues.

The

team has reached a significant milestone as a
@POKTnetwork
Gateway, successfully facilitating 100M relays in a single day.
Next stop, 500M daily relays, then 1 Billy then... well you get the idea.
Just a few of the Wins since this post on "investing" dropped.
- Successful wPOKT Launch
- Successful 2nd Gateway Launch
- 6M+ POKT in revenue
- POKT chosen as pivotal DIN partner by
@infura_io
- Onboarded numerous projects
- Oh and b4 we forget, POKT has nearly 10x'd since!
@PoktNews
@MTorygreen
That is weird, but maybe I don’t understand something regarding to initial topic with discussion about “investing”. Perhaps it’s strategy.
@JupiterExchange
This is exactly why you need POKT Network's 15K geo-distributed nodes.
Why go through the trouble of maintaining your own centralized RPC nodes and have bots ruin UX by spamming them?
You've already got a great product. Time to make it unstoppable!
DMs open.
Our DAO Grant just landed, so time to break bread with our
