Pocket Network's mission is to provide the world with unstoppable open-source infrastructure. They aim to empower developers with access to reliable, performant, and cost-effective data access. Pocket Network's vision is a future where the world's most important digital infrastructure is owned and governed by its users.

In this episode, Jinx, Head of Operations at Pocket Network, dives deep into the importance of decentralized infrastructure and open data in the blockchain ecosystem. He breaks down why centralized providers create single points of failure and how Pocket Network is building a more resilient and censorship-resistant alternative.

Jinx explains how Pocket Network’s decentralized RPC services enable developers to access blockchain data without relying on Web2 intermediaries, ensuring high availability, security, and cost efficiency. The conversation also explores the upcoming Shannon upgrade, a major evolution designed to enhance scalability, reduce friction for developers, and make participation in the network more accessible.

Beyond infrastructure, Jinx highlights why uninterrupted, permissionless access to data is critical—not just for blockchain applications, but for AI agents, financial systems, and emerging digital economies. He shares his vision of a future where decentralized networks uphold free speech, empower innovation, and redefine digital collaboration.

The discussion also delves into the role of the Pocket token (POKT) in incentivizing node operators and securing the network, as well as the vibrant community that powers its growth. Whether you're a developer, an investor, or just someone who believes in the decentralized future, this episode offers key insights into the infrastructure that will shape the next era of the internet.
