So many of these posts sound the same and here we are..... Building the Amazon marketplace for all agentic services. This is being filled at agent.pocket.network. base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 The Agentic Portal is a permissionless, pay-per-call marketplace built on Pocket’s decentralized network of independent node operators. Agents (and apps) discover services, get a 402 with terms, pay in USDC via x402 or MPP, and receive the response—no accounts, no API keys, no subscriptions. Just the call they make. It covers blockchain RPC across dozens of chains plus a growing catalogue of other data services (finance, web search, documents, compliance, AI tools, and more). The same censorship-resistant supply side that proved it could match centralized RPC quality now powers agent-native access.
There’s far more institutional interest in $POKT than most realize. After years pushing @POKTnetwork, I’m currently more bullish than ever. The long-delayed Shannon protocol - stalled over 2 years - has reached final testnet phase and is set to launch on mainnet in Q1 2025. This massive upgrade will introduce the world’s first endlessly scalable, permissionless, decentralized RPC protocol, capable of serving any open-source service or data source - perfect for AI agents - making it a top-tier, yet still underappreciated, infrastructure play in a multi-trillion-dollar market. With the Shannon upgrade, $POKT fully enters the @cosmos ecosystem, expanding its interoperability and reach. Key partnerships: @infura_io (DIN), @googlecloud marketplace listing, @aave, @autonolas (AI agents), and now a @Ripple partnership integrating XRPL in Q1 2025, with $POKT being among the few validators and the sole RPC provider. It's worth noting that $POKT is listed on Kucoin, Gate.io, and most importantly Upbit, where it is in top 10 by volume among all BTC pairs most of the time, giving strong indications that POKT/KRW trading pair could be introduced soon, boosting the volume 10x or more. A huge thank you to those who supported POKT through its toughest times: @Rewkang @rwhittemore @satoshidoteth @TurboBull21 @BlockChainoor @blackbeardXBT @cburniske @CharlieShrem @ourcryptotalk @WarcMeinstein @ElCryptoDoc @HouseofChimera @curiousgurnoor @rosaticorp @FaridRached @MrMoonBags @hunterxnicholas @AltCryptoGems VCs: @DruidVentures @placeholdervc @avonventures @MechanismCap POKT Gateways: @BuildWithGrove @nodies_infra @Liquify_ltd @ChainstackHQ @RaidGuild Potential new supporters: @CryptosR_Us @AlphaFirst_ Interested institutional investors following along: @matthew_sigel (@vaneck_us) @HHorsley (@bitwise ) @RalstonCFA (@BlackRock ) @ChrisJKuiper (@Fidelity) As Q1 2025 approaches and Shannon’s launch draws near, $POKT isn’t just poised for a breakthrough - it’s ready to redefine decentralized infrastructure as we know today and ignite a whole new era! Follow this project closely and research it deeply, because this huge upgrade is about to propel $POKT back into the top 100 crypto projects very soon.

TLDR. Today we shipped Build A of the explorer.pocket.network/serv… Scoring Service to MainNet. @poktnetwork This is more than a scoring update. It is another step toward building our own continuously maintained financial-data system for crypto treasuries—one that does not depend on a single explorer, vendor, API, or convenient data pathway to know what is happening. All 22 protocols passed Beta testing before the MainNet release. The collector now performs self-checks before publishing data, so it can identify incomplete responses, stale values, missing addresses, and other problems before they become part of a score. For on-chain holdings, the collector can now read wallets directly from: Base Arbitrum Polygon Avalanche BNB Chain That matters because explorers are useful, but they are not guaranteed infrastructure. They can be rate-limited, incomplete, unavailable, or unable to display a particular token correctly. When an explorer does not respond, the system can query the chain directly instead of stopping at the first unavailable data source. We also hardened deployment. The deploy script now stops rather than accidentally issuing a new access token. Small operational protections like this are important when a service is continuously collecting data and serving paid, on-demand responses. We then began Build C, which adds a formal rule for debt and obligation visibility. A protocol does not receive full credit simply because someone found a recent report. We now distinguish between: Obligations that are adequately disclosed. Obligations that are only partially visible. Obligations for which there is insufficient recent evidence. Protocols with incomplete but usable debt reporting receive a 10-point deduction rather than being treated as if their liabilities were fully known. Using that framework: Origin received its first score after we researched and recorded its debt positions. Synthetix was documented separately, including its large sUSD payback. Because that repayment is planned through future SNX issuance rather than current treasury assets, it is treated primarily as future-token dilution and supply risk rather than an immediate treasury deduction. Euler and Silo remain without scores until newer obligations evidence is available. Silo’s Stream claim is not being misclassified as Silo protocol debt. We also added annualized income and spending figures where the evidence was sufficient: 📈Sky: approximately $166.3M annualized inflow versus $40.6M annualized spending. 📈Lido: approximately $31.9M annualized inflow versus $43.8M annualized spending. 📈Aave: $75.6M annualized income using its most recent quarterly pace. For Aave, we deliberately used the conservative figure. Quarterly income declined from $37.9M to $24.6M and then to $18.9M. Using the latest quarter multiplied by four is more appropriate for forward-looking replenishment and runway analysis than using an average that assumes the earlier, stronger quarters will return. We also changed the pricing architecture. CoinGecko is now the primary market-price source, with CoinMarketCap as the backup. But many DeFi positions are not directly priced by either provider. Vault shares, lending receipts, and similar positions are therefore valued using their own on-chain exchange rates where possible. The system flags positions that have only one usable price source. These are not silently treated as equivalent to fully corroborated prices. They receive an evidence-risk flag and, where appropriate, a valuation haircut or lower confidence classification. The yETH Recovery vault was also found at two Yearn addresses. For now, it is being held as pending formal YIP-90 classification rather than being counted as freely liquid treasury capital. The system will not treat an asset as liquid simply because a wallet balance exists. Every change was tested on Beta before going to MainNet. The headline scores remained stable: Yearn: 76 Aave: 44 That stability is important. The goal is not to manufacture score movement. The goal is to improve the evidence, coverage, reproducibility, and honesty of the result. The work in progress is Build B. Build B creates a shared price bank on the backend. Prices are collected, normalized, versioned, and continuously saved. A signed copy is then sent to the hub so on-demand requests can use a known, auditable price snapshot instead of rebuilding the entire market-data process from scratch. Build B will also add on-chain pricing for: Curve LP tokens. Uniswap LP positions. Balancer LP tokens. The hub side is already deployed for testing. This architecture lets us price and preserve the data continuously, then serve paid agentic responses on demand. A request does not need to wait for the entire research process to begin from zero. It can use the latest validated snapshot, show when the data was collected, identify what changed, disclose any gaps, and trigger a fresh reconciliation only when the request requires it. That is the larger objective: Build an independent, continuously checked treasury-data system that can use public sources without becoming dependent on any single public source. The system is designed to know not only what it believes, but also: Where the number came from. When it was observed. Whether it was independently corroborated. Whether the asset is actually liquid. Whether obligations are visible. Which values were estimated. Which data was unavailable. What changed since the previous snapshot. How confident the final score should be. The scoring service is the output. The more important product is the evidence and valuation infrastructure underneath it. Building our foundational layers. base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935

113 APIs. $0.005 per call. No account, no API key. An AI agent hits the endpoint, gets a 402, pays in USDC, gets the data. This is live today on a ~$21M network called Pocket $POKT I went through the docs, the governance forum and the order books 🧵

$POKT is becoming easier to understand. The old story was decentralized RPC. The emerging story is broader: agentic infrastructure. Right now: • 1,055 requests / 24h • 3,241 requests / 7d • 4,506 requests / 30d • 33 active agents • 99 live services • 2 supported networks • $22.29 billed / $22.27 collected • $0.005 per call But the numbers are only one part of it. The stack is forming around real agent activity: Builders → Services → Agents → Usage → Payments → Identity → Trust Pay-per-call access. Onchain settlement. Identity and authorization. Reputation and revocation. Real usage. That’s the transition I’m tracking. Following the rails, not the noise. 👀 $POKT

$POKT is no longer just a roadmap story. The Agentic Portal is live. x402 pay-per-call is working. Paid requests are measurable. Revenue is being collected. Builders are deploying services. Now the real question begins: can usage compound? 🧵👇

$POKT fits the machine-native economy thesis BlackRock is describing: agents, programmable payments, external services and blockchain rails. But one distinction matters. x402 USDC payments through the Agentic Portal are real. POKT protocol usage and burn are real. What still needs clearer documentation is the exact path from Portal USDC revenue to direct market demand for $POKT. The Portal is live. Services are live. Paid usage is measurable. Builders are deploying. Now repeat usage, active agents, retention and revenue have to prove the thesis. 👀

x402 is moving into real payment infrastructure. Binance now packages Agent Pay with x402 alongside onchain payments and on-ramps. For $POKT, that matters: Agentic Portal can build on a payment rail gaining broader distribution. 👀

$POKT’s agentic stack is getting more concrete. The Service Manager now shows a working flow for service registration, app staking and management on Beta TestNet. Still pre-public launch — but this is the kind of tooling that turns a roadmap into usable infrastructure. 👀

@POKTnetwork x @aex402 aeX402 is a multi-chain RPC and MCP gateway for AI agents, metered under x402 standard at $0.0001 per call. Pocket Network is offering the read layer behind it for Base, Solana, Robinhood Chain and Hyperliquid, so aeX402 gets permissionless multi-chain coverage without running a node fleet per chain. Another day, another win for the AI agent economy.

Hey @AskVenice , @POKTnetwork provides no tracking access to any data source on the network, and @nodeghostai is already serving DeepSeek and other models that way. We should talk.

Happy to be working in this space with @Acurast and @POKTnetwork to build unstoppable truly permission-less AI inference and tooling. We’re breaking some boundaries that haven’t been crossed yet, but we’ve only just started.
One hour. One request every 30 seconds. Zero dropped calls. Zero cloud servers. In an exploratory collaboration, @POKTnetwork and @nodeghostai ran a full AI gateway on @Acurast's smartphone network using Cargo, combining inference and web search together, entirely on phones. Not a single request failed. This marks the first production AI gateway running entirely on smartphones, with no cloud infrastructure involved. read more: acurast.com/blog/partnership…
