Crypto Infrastructure Firm Pocket Network Raises $10M
Republic Capital, RockTree Capital and Arrington Capital helped lead the round.

Web 3 developer platform Pocket Network has raised $10 million to expand adoption and node coverage, with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
Republic Capital, RockTree Capital, Arrington Capital and C² Ventures led the round. Pocket Network had announced a strategic partnership with RockTree in November, but the other partnerships are new.
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.
Pocket uses a native cryptocurrency (POKT) to create a permissionless, two-sided market b/t node providers running full nodes & developers wanting to query data from a blockchain for their application/service.

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.
