#PocketNetwork ( $POKT ) - #Roadmap

[ #Update: April 2025 ]

📜 Past: Building a Web3 infrastructure giant (2017-2024)

🔹 2017: The idea emerges

🧠 Pocket Network was conceived as a response to the reliance on centralized API services like Infura. The goal: a fully decentralized network for dApp developers.

#DePIN #Web3Infrastructure

🔹 2020: Mainnet & Morse Protocol

🚀 On July 28, 2020, Pocket Network launched its mainnet with the Morse Protocol. Over XXX million $POKT were issued, and the network began processing RPC requests via a global network of nodes.

#MainnetLaunch

🔹 2021-2023: V1 Roadmap & Consensus upgrades

⚙️ Pocket introduced innovative modules like “Fishermen” (quality control) and transitioned from Tendermint to HotStuff BFT for better scalability. The V1 Roadmap (PoS, DoS, RoS, etc.) brought significant improvements in reliability and efficiency.

🔹 2024: Foundation for Shannon

🧱 With the Morse Protocol as the foundation, 2024 saw full-scale development of Shannon: a revolutionary upgrade towards a permissionless network.

⚡ Present: Current Status (Q2 2025)

🔹 Relay milestone reached

📈 Pocket processes XXX million to X billion relays daily. In Q1 2025, the X trillion mark was even surpassed — a sign of robust growth.

🔹 Support for 50+ chains

🌐 Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon are among those already supported.

🔹 Rebranding and repositioning

🎨 In January 2025, the domain was changed to The new branding highlights the expansion into AI, storage protocols, and more than just blockchain RPC.

🔹 Community and tooling

💬 Tools like POKTscan and the Pocket DAO enhance transparency and governance.

🛠️ Technological depth: Shannon Upgrade (Q2 2025)

🔹 Permissionless Gateways

🌉 Anyone can now run their own gateways. This democratizes access and opens the door for both hobbyists and enterprises (think Fortune 500).

🔹 New use cases

🧠 In addition to RPC, support will include:

AI inference (such as LLMs)

Storage protocols

Privacy gateways

Oracles & inter-chain data

🔹 Tokenomics Update

🔥 Shannon introduces token burning: a percentage of relay fees will be burned → deflationary model. This aims to significantly reduce $POKT inflation.

🔹 Lower costs

💸 Expected savings of 30–75% per RPC. Pocket becomes much more competitive compared to Alchemy and Infura.

🔹 Technical innovations

🧩 New architecture via the Cosmos SDK with modules for:

“Sovereign Applications”

“Suppliers/Sources”

🔹 Status & Timeline

⏳ The upgrade is live on the public testnet. Full mainnet release is expected between April-June 2025.

#ShannonUpgrade #DeflationaryTokenomics #CosmosSDK

🚀 Future: Post-Shannon Roadmap (2025-2026)

🔹 Cross-chain DeFi integration

🔁 Pocket is building a Multi-Chain Bridge so that $POKT can be deployed on networks like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and other L2s in DeFi applications.

🔹 Secondary DA networks

📡 Pocket will support additional Data Availability networks — a crucial step for scalability.

🔹 AI & Web3 synergy

🤖 In line with the AI Litepaper: support for AI inference and integration of LLMs on the network.

🔹 Community-driven Gateways

🧪 Third parties are encouraged to build specialized gateways for gaming, privacy, enterprise, and more.

🔹 DAO & Governance optimization

🏛️ The Multi-Fisherman DAO will be rolled out for better quality control, decentralized rewards, and network security.

📅 Expected timeline: Late 2025 – 2026.

#Web3Infra #AIonChain #DAO

🔑 Key Milestones summarized

📌 Past:

Foundation (2017)

Mainnet (2020)

V1 modules & consensus upgrades (2021–2023)

📌 Present:

X trillion relays (2025)

50+ integrated chains

Preparation for Shannon Upgrade

📌 Future:

Permissionless architecture

AI & storage data

Multi-chain DeFi & bridges

Full DAO decentralization

🔍 Factors impacting the roadmap

✅ Positive:

🔸 Growing relay volumes

🔸 Deflationary tokenomics

🔸 Broad technological applications (AI, storage)

🔸 Strong community and DAO structure

⚠️ Challenges:

🔸 Team turnover (2023) → recovery ongoing

🔸 Technical complexity of Shannon

🔸 Competition with Ankr, Alchemy

🔸 Regulatory risks related to AI & data

📈 Impact on $POKT and investors

💎 Token Burning → Lower inflation = Potentially beneficial for price

📊 Lower RPC costs → More usage, higher demand for $POKT

🎯 Speculatively interesting: Market cap between $19–222 million.

⚠️ Volatility remains high.

🎯 Conclusion

Pocket Network positions itself as the infrastructure layer of Web3 — from blockchain RPC to AI inference. The Shannon Upgrade marks the beginning of a new era: permissionless gateways, token burning, multi-chain integrations, and much broader use cases.

For those who believe in the future of Web3 and AI-driven networks, Pocket is a project to keep a close eye on in 2025 and beyond.
