Pocket looks to help application developers easily and securely interact with blockchains as more coders join the Web 3 ranks. A report out yesterday from Electric Capital showed developer activity at all-time highs.

Pocket Network usage, as measured by the number of API calls processed by the protocol, has more than doubled on a monthly basis since last July. Weekly relays have increased from tens of thousands at the start of 2021 to over 2 billion in a single week in December, Pocket Network said in the press release.

Arrington Capital founder Michael Arrington said the need for “wide node distribution at the base layer” was the impetus for investing.

“Ultimately, POKT is critical to enhancing the long-term robustness and anti-fragility of the entire crypto ecosystem,” he said in a press release.

Other participants in the round included CoinShares, Decentral Park Capital and Dominance Ventures.
