Redundancy isn’t the same as reliability. The gap is your front door for data. Read on for a comparison of single-cloud, multi-cloud, and decentralized cloud environments – with Pocket Network’s Decentralized Access Layer as a reference. Prologue: The day redundancy didn’t save the launch The launch window was tight. A new pricing page, a refreshed…

Pocket Network’s Decentralized Data Stack: Service, Source & Supplier
In this piece, we present a map and vocabulary to navigate the decentralized infrastructure of Pocket Network. After skimming, you’ll have a clear picture of the puzzle pieces that fit together to make Pocket Network efficient, resilient, and fruitful for its participants. You’ll learn about each role, see how it may apply to you or…
DePIN for Data: A User-Owned Data Plane
Just two years ago, “DePIN” (decentralized physical infrastructure) felt like another hype cycle. Today, it’s become a visible driver of real blockchain use: you can point to real user adoption, terabytes moved, GPUs leased, and capital raised. That matters because DePIN isn’t a vibe, it’s a real utility backbone. And the part that quietly touches…
Wake Up Call: Decentralization is not a meme
As everyone knows by now, AWS fell over for about a day this month, resulting in what’s likely to be billions of dollars in losses. Countless high availability applications and platforms blew out their annual SLA requirements in a single downtime incident. You’re only allowed 52.6 minutes of downtime per year to achieve four nines,…
Blockchain Governance Models Explained
Most people don’t buy a token because of governance. They buy the story, the product, and the community. That’s fine. But once you’re holding the bag, the stuff that keeps value from dumping, maintains pricing, supply discipline, and reliable access comes from how a network is governed. In other words, you don’t need governance to…
Open-Weight AI Meets Open Access—Auditable Inference with Permissionless API Gateways
In August 2025, OpenAI introduced two downloadable open-weight models, gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, that you can run on your hardware or inside your cloud. The 120b variant is engineered to run on a single 80 GB GPU (e.g., H100/MI300X) thanks to native MXFP4 quantization. In contrast, the 20b is tuned to fit in roughly 16 GB…
섀넌(Shannon)을 환영합니다: 무허가형(Permissionless) 액세스의 새로운 시대가 열렸습니다
게시일: 2025년 9월 14일 – 오후 11:13, 작성자: 포켓 네트워크(Pocket Network) 6월 3일은 포켓 네트워크에 역사적인 이정표가 세워진 날입니다. 바로 프로토콜의 가장 야심 차고 포괄적인 업그레이드인 섀넌의 성공적인 출시입니다. 이번 릴리스를 통해 Pocket은 공식적으로 세계 최초의 무허가형 API 네트워크로 자리매김했으며, 블록체인과 API 전반의 데이터 액세스를 위한 탈중앙화된 미래를 열었습니다. 섀넌의 잠재력 해방 6월에 활성화된 섀넌은…
포켓(섀넌) 기반 빌드: 실제 프로젝트를 위한 개발자 가이드
섀넌(Shannon) 업그레이드 이후 포켓 네트워크(Pocket Network)는 RPC 엔드포인트를 넘어, 이제 검증 가능한 데이터를 위한 개방형, 크립토-네이티브 액세스 레이어가 되었습니다. 이제 자신만의 액세스 레이어(PATH 게이트웨이), 반환하는 데이터의 품질 증명(QoS 및 릴레이 증명), 그리고 사용량과 직접적으로 연계되는 경제 모델을 직접 실행할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 포켓은 데이터를 위한 완전한 모듈식(modular) 탈중앙화(decentralized) 인프라 레이어가 됩니다. 이 게시물은 섀넌…
Build on Pocket Network: A Developer’s Guide to Real Projects on Shannon Mainnet
Pocket Network, after the Shannon upgrade, has evolved past RPC endpoints; it is now the open, crypto-native access layer for verifiable data. You can run your own access layer (PATH Gateways), prove the quality of the data you return (QoS and relay proofs), align economics directly with usage—making Pocket a full, modular, and decentralized infrastructure…
Welcome, Shannon: The new era of permissionless access is here
June 3rd marked a historic milestone for Pocket Network: the successful launch of Shannon, the protocol’s most ambitious and comprehensive upgrade to date. This release has officially positioned Pocket as the world’s first permissionless API network, unlocking a decentralized future for data access across blockchains and APIs. Shannon Unleashed The June activation of Shannon completed…
