Pocket Network Presentation

Co-Founder and CEO Michael P O’Rourke will be going over the architecture of Pocket Network and where it sits within the blockchain ecosystem.

The world is headed towards a multi-blockchain future. Infrastructure it is a vital part of what allows for
the maturation of the blockchain application ecosystem in this vision of the future. In April 2017,
Ethereum infrastructure platform, Infura, was handling 175 million API requests per day. Two years
later, that number increased by more than 7,000% to over 12 billion requests per day. By lowering the
barrier of entry for developers to build decentralized applications and providing easy to use, scalable
infrastructure, Infura laid the groundwork for Ethereum’s exponential growth in 2017.

However, centralized blockchain infrastructure solutions lead to central points of failure for
decentralized applications. This insignificant worry to the Ethereum, Bitcoin and broader blockchain
community. This concern can largely be attributed to the node in-centivization problem,
where individuals are not incentivized to run full nodes for any blockchain. Bitcoin and Ethereum
have infrastructure and developer advantages that other blockchains do not. They have well supported
and documented infrastructure and APIs, allowing developers to build applications easily on their
networks. New and future blockchains need similar support. Pocket’s single interface can
provide this much-needed infrastructure support for any blockchain.
