POKT Network, in collaboration with Developer DAO, Raid Guild-backed Porters, and Chainstack, has introduced three additional Gateways to further extend its decentralized infrastructure.
The latest development aims to offer developers enhanced access to over 60 blockchains, reinforcing POKT Network’s strategy to extend API accessibility across the web through its Universal RPC Base Layer.
A press release states that the launch of these Gateways is a significant step forward for POKT Network and its ecosystem in providing dependable and affordable data access solutions that help businesses and developers improve their applications’ quality and user experience.
These Gateways, which allow builders to connect directly to a scalable and dependable decentralized infrastructure, are comparable to Layer 2 solutions in terms of boosting scalability, according to Dermot O’Riordan, Director at the POKT Network Foundation. Riordan continued:
“By accommodating access and demand on a scale previously unseen, we’re not just expanding the capabilities of our network, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where access to any large open data source is unfettered, secure, and universally available”
Gateways support a decentralized business model by enabling various enterprises to provide access to POKT Network’s infrastructure without requiring direct upkeep.
The goal of the structure is to shorten market entrance periods, cut operating expenses, and refocus attention on improving customer experience. POKT Network was founded to improve network capacity, and in just seven months, it grew from one Gateway to six.
This rapid expansion of Gateway offers is indicative of this strategic effort. According to Daniel Olshansky, Head of Protocol at POKT Network, the plan permits a separation of duties: protocol participants concentrate on the upkeep of the infrastructure and gateways on functionality, and customers are provided with dependable and reasonably priced services.
Notable for its potential to spur network expansion and innovation is the partnership with Developer DAO, Porters, and Chainstack. Developer DAO, for example, presents a paradigm where technological innovations benefit the common good by aiming to reinvest RPC income into public goods.
In contrast, Porters and Chainstack offer substantial volume potential and technological know-how to the collaboration. In the future, POKT Network will be getting ready for the summer of 2024’s Shannon Upgrade.
The update’s goal is to make integration easier for RPC providers and projects, making data access between various blockchains and AI more convenient. The upgrade is anticipated to foster cooperation in the decentralized data infrastructure domain and support a wider range of use cases.
