Sobering article on centralization pressures on upper layers of web3 tech stack. Reminder that just because we build blockchains decentralized, it doesn't mean the end ecosystem will become sufficiently permissionless. $POKT fixes (some) of this moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-fi… @moxie

Web 3 developer platform @POKTnetwork raised $10 million from @arringtonXRPcap, @joinrepublic and others to grow its network of L1 nodes. @BrandyBetz reports trib.al/IG1WOaq

Market waking up to $POKT L1s on tail-end of their rotational cycle while the music starts playing for Web3 Infrastructure
dApps that strive for censorship resistance need to decentralize their node infrastructure This is why we backed @POKTnetwork

Data rich monster thread on @POKTnetwork, our long standing middleware black horse. There aren't many projects I am as proud of as POKT. Its journey was paved by blood sweat and tears. They deserve every cent of 11digit valuation that is inevitable coming (just my opinion, nfa)

Yes RPC issues on Harmony again. @POKTnetwork will fix you right up in the meantime. iirc, last time we had RPC issues it was over quick and the community really discovered what Pokt was. Blockchain tech is innovation.

Free #Harmony RPC -- decentralized and reliable: harmony-0-rpc.gateway.pokt.n…
The main RPCs for #HarmonyONE seem to be having some major issues. We've swapped easynode.one to the pokt RPC and you can pull up current wallet balance and pending staking rewards there while the @harmonyprotocol team resolves the RPC troubles. Enjoy!
Over half of @binance Smart Chain #BSC validators are OFFLINE. There are only a few dozen transactions per block on the entire network because there are no working public RPCs. This is scandalous for a coin with such a marketcap.

Twitter is great, but the ability to put my thoughts out in true Poktopus fashion is a little limited here. That's why I created poktopus.com. Weekly insights, alpha, and giveaways from yours truly. Spread the love. poktopus.com/01-genesis-bloc…

Basically .@POKTnetwork up to this point. The network has clawed its way up to 10k validators serving 200M relays daily, because it *only* rewards useful work and selects for long term aligned stakeholders given the relative illiquidity if $POKT.
Until labor is rewarded more than capital, we cannot build sustainable cryptonetworks
