✅ Pocket Network Mainnet Upgrade: v0.1.36 — COMPLETE
Mainnet is running v0.1.36. The chain halted at 982867 (13:14 UTC) and resumed on the new binary about 3 minutes later. Blocks and settlement are normal.
Release notes: github.com/pokt-network/pokt…
Suppliers: make sure you run a v0.1.36-compatible RelayMiner. Older versions get their proofs rejected and are slashed. Thanks to everyone who made this upgrade super smooth! 🙏

This isn't random. BlackRock just told the world AI agents will pay for data on-chain. BlackRock's "The Machine-Native Economy" expands how AI agents are paying each other for API calls, on-demand data and compute, settled on-chain, 24/7, with no humans in the loop.
When BlackRock publishes research on a theme, that's not the top. That's the starting gun. Big money follows the narrative they write.
Now ask yourself: what do these agents actually need?
Permissionless, always-on access to open data. Any chain. Any API. Any source.
That's exactly what Pocket Network does, and it's been doing it in production for years.
And the part most people miss: PNF takes its revenue and buys base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 straight off the open market. More usage means more buy pressure. base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 is not a narrative token. It has built-in revenue flywheel.
The machine-native economy needs a data layer.
base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 is already running it.

BlackRock: Blockchains Will Evolve from Speculative Rails into Decentralized Value Settlement Networks for AI Agents
In a research whitepaper on AI and digital assets, global asset manager BlackRock highlights an unprecedented convergence between artificial intelligence and digital assets, noting that an autonomous AI agent economy urgently requires machine-native financial settlement rails. The whitepaper outlines three core intersection scenarios: first, high-frequency, automated machine-to-machine micropayments, where autonomous AI agents can settle natively in fiat-backed stablecoins without human intervention via protocols such as x402, Stripe and Tempo’s MPP, and OpenAI’s ACP.
Second, the programmable interaction of tokenized financial assets, allowing AI systems to execute trades and manage funds directly via smart contracts across tokenized real-world assets (RWAs); and third, the financialization and collateralization of computer resources as digital assets. BlackRock emphasizes that against the backdrop of adjusted stablecoin transaction volumes surpassing $11 trillion in 2025 and emerging regulatory clarity across the US, Europe, and APAC, the blockchain layer is fundamentally evolving from a vehicle for human speculation into the decentralized value settlement network powering an autonomous machine economy.

POKT | INFRA WATCH 👀
Usage Is Growing. Infrastructure Is Evolving.
Since October 13, Pocket Network has shown progress on two fronts: growing Agentic Portal activity and an upcoming consensus-breaking mainnet upgrade.
1. Agentic Portal — Real Usage Growth
Latest dashboard snapshot (Oct 22):
• 51,926 requests / 30D
• 30,867 requests / 7D
• 4,154 requests / 24H
• 93 active agents / 30D
• 117 live services
• 1,572ms median latency
• $0.005 displayed price per call
On October 13, the 30-day request count stood at 17,342.
It has now reached 51,926 — nearly 3x the previous rolling total.
Meanwhile, live services increased from 113 to 117.
This is an important distinction.
The growth isn't just about adding more services. Existing infrastructure is seeing greater activity.
However, rising request counts alone do not prove independent customer adoption or sustainable revenue.
2. Mainnet v0.1.36 — Preparing the Network
Scheduled for October 27, the consensus-breaking upgrade introduces several important changes:
• Claim and proof processing optimizations
• Improvements to supplier recovery after slashing
• Service metadata update events
• Infrastructure for service-based staking requirements
• Security and verification improvements
One particularly interesting addition is the ability to define additional staking requirements for suppliers serving multiple services.
The current additional-service stake parameter is set to zero, so this does not create immediate new POKT lockup demand.
But it introduces a mechanism worth monitoring as the service ecosystem expands.
3. The Next Phase — Usage → Economic Value
POKT is making measurable progress in infrastructure and marketplace activity.
But the next questions matter more than the headlines:
• Are independent agents becoming repeat paying customers?
• Can request growth translate into meaningful revenue?
• How much activity reaches the underlying POKT network?
• Does increased usage produce measurable net token burn?
• Can the network scale without sacrificing reliability?
The infrastructure is evolving.
The usage signals are improving.
Now the challenge is turning that activity into durable economic demand.
Following the rails, not the noise. 👀

In a pay-per-call marketplace an agent cannot afford to trust a single vendor’s methodology or to re-run the entire evidence chain itself. That forces a different kind of product: a standardized answer that travels with its own signed record of what was checked, which sources were independent, and where the gaps remain.
base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935
Our product comparison matters because agents that act on data in a decentralized setting cannot treat every source as interchangeable, and they cannot afford to re-do the assembly, cleaning, and interpretation work on every query.
They (YOU) need answers that are already standardized, cited, checked, and honest about what was (and was not) verified—so the agent can decide how much weight to give them without having to trust a single vendor’s black box or re-run the entire evidence chain itself.
Corporations, government agencies, and DAO/protocol treasuries produce records for different reasons, under different rules, with different failure modes. Treating them the same produces brittle or silently wrong agent behavior. The work of turning each into a machine-readable, attested product is what lets an agent consume them on equal footing.
What agents actually need from each
Corporations (SEC filers): the books exist to produce audited statements under GAAP. Agents get periodic, structured XBRL, but the data is slow, tags can shift between filings, and one entity’s filings can mix activity about others.
An agent that treats the latest 10-K as real-time truth, or that does not compare a filing only against itself, will mis-score. The useful product is a scored interpretation of filing risk and fundamentals that preserves the period-specific nature of the data and flags restatements or tag changes.
Government agencies: the books serve dual purposes—budget accounting and the production of statistics or registries about everyone else. Data is authoritative and often public domain, but it is fragmented across agencies, revised on published schedules, and sometimes lags or disagrees with itself (DailyMed vs openFDA, partial weeks at cutoffs).
An agent that freezes on the first print of GDP or jobs, or that treats FAERS case counts as immutable, will act on numbers that the agencies themselves will later revise.
The useful product is a scored brief that records which vintage was used, what tolerance was applied in cross-checks, and which series were independent versus republications.
DAOs and protocols (the 22 treasuries in TCS-6): the chain is the ledger. Balances are public and real-time, but there is no required accounting standard, no formal obligation ledger, and no external audit of the treasury as a whole.
“Treasury” means different wallet sets and asset definitions from one protocol to the next.
Valuation depends on external prices that can disappear; obligations live in forum posts or multisig queues. An agent that simply sums token balances, or that treats “unknown” as zero, will systematically mis-rank capital.
The useful product is a derived score built from on-chain reads, independent pricing where possible, realization haircuts, hard gates, and an explicit “unknown is never zero” rule—exactly the function our product performs.
How the checks become something an agent can trust
The same architecture runs across the verticals, but the verification layer is tuned to the source type. Every response carries a signed attestation (Ed25519 over a canonical payload) that records what was compared, the timestamp, the tolerance used, the independence classification of each source (independent, partially independent, republication, or transport confirmation only), any preserved conflicts, and an evidence-manifest hash.
Materiality rules are published in advance: material failures follow fixed policy rather than operator judgment; non-material issues stay visible and do not silently alter the score.
For the DAO side this is particularly powerful. The chain never revises after the fact, so the attestation can point to specific wallet sets, on-chain exchange rates for vault and LP positions, and the exact price bank snapshot used. An agent (or a later auditor) can re-verify the signature against the published key and re-read the same chain state. Where off-chain obligations or thin-liquidity prices remain, the attestation marks them rather than filling the gap.
Historical snapshots are retained so that if a commercial price provider goes offline or changes methodology, the prior evidence layer can still reconstruct many answers.
Why the decentralization matters on @POKTnetwork
On a network where any supplier can serve the same service and agents pay per call with no account or API key, the data product itself has to travel with its own evidence.
A single commercial feed can be rate-limited, altered, or discontinued; a government bulk file can lag or revise; a corporate filing can be incomplete on the first page. An agent that receives only a number has no way to know which of those failure modes applied.
An agent that receives the number plus the signed record of the cross-checks, the source classifications, the materiality assessment, and the citations can treat the answer as a verifiable claim rather than an assertion. It can decide, on policy, whether a particular score is usable for a given workflow, or whether it should fall back to a different vertical or request the underlying evidence.
Corporations remain the most standardized and audited but the slowest.
Government data remains free and authoritative but fragmented and revised.
DAO treasuries remain perfectly transparent and real-time but unstandardized until someone rebuilds the bookkeeping with citations, haircuts, and gates.
The shared layer does not erase those differences. It makes each of them legible, comparable, and attestable so that an agent can buy a standardized answer instead of spending minutes or hours reassembling the underlying records—and can still check the work.
That is what turns a collection of public datasets into a set of intelligence products an autonomous agent can actually trust.

You got everything right.
We're early. The numbers are not there for any agentic marketplace yet.
DYOR, one of them is mostly just twitter as a customer. Lots to learn.
You did capture something though.
"If AI agents become a major source of traffic, the Compute Unit economics can become much more interesting because AI and data services can consume substantially more compute units per request than ordinary blockchain RPC."
That is exactly what my product is building vertically. CU go up drastically with the more comprehensive answers received from the prediction market, TCS6 or PMIC features. This will grow extensively more reliable and self sufficient the longer it runs and does its job.
base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 is extremely undervalued atm.
There is no mass onboarding of AI yet. When schools close so kids can stay home and learn via AI, thats mass adoption. We're in the early stages of the wild west, only genuine services of value will last. As yet to be determined by the current user landscape.

Replying to @POKTnetwork
@POKTnetwork is a gem vibrating on a whole different level these days.
Switching from a blockchain RPC business to a strategy mainly focused on AI agents and the agentic economy secured most comfortable position for base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 holders.
Agentic Portal (agent.pocket.network) has been launched just 2 weeks ago, and it's already on a strong growth trajectory with massive potential.
x402 and MPP (@tempo) payment rails are live. @arc and BSC are coming soon.
Remember the ticker. Remember how early Pocket is.
Tsunami is coming.
$POKT Portal economics are starting to become visible. 👀
Jinx laid out the scaling path:
• 10K requests/day → first target
• 100K/day → beyond hard-cost break-even + POKT buybacks
• 1M/day → “wildly profitable”
• 10M/day → full-scale upside
And there’s a second layer: burn.
Portal relays run at 100K CUPR vs ~1K CUPR for an average ETH relay — roughly 100x higher burn intensity.
So the loop becomes:
Agents → Requests → Revenue → Burn → Margin → $POKT buybacks
Small today.
But the value-capture mechanism is no longer theoretical.
Usage can now translate into both burn and direct market demand for POKT.
That’s the part I’m watching. 👀

I spent the weekend expanding PMIC
The headline isn't 6 new services
It's 60 live data verticals on Pocket MainNet
base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935
That changes what this can become
PMIC is moving from a handful of crypto/market signals toward a broad agentic intelligence layer covering markets, companies, pharma, government, public-sector activity and more.
The existing service IDs haven't changed:
Macro & Markets
Company Fundamentals & Filing Risk
Pharma Safety & Approval Signals
Public Sector Signals
And the important part:
They're LIVE on MainNet
No new registration
No new integration
The on-chain service cards were updated today with the expanded verticals
Now agents can ask questions like:
“Is money flowing into or out of crypto?”
67/100 — Rising.
Stablecoins: $312B, +1.1% this month
DeFi TVL: $95B, +7.6% this month
Not just raw numbers
A standardized interpretation of what those numbers mean.
“Is @POKTnetwork actually growing or is it just hype?”
76/100 — Growing
10.7B relays last week
+42% over 30 days
Staked apps: 220, a 52-week high
Now take that same infrastructure outside crypto.
“Are big institutions piling into Nvidia?”
27/100 — Distributing.
Holders +16%
Dollars held +34%
But the pace is slower than Nvidia's historical pattern, keeping the score low.
And that creates something interesting:
The system doesn't just give an answer.
It can surface signals worth investigating.
“Is the FDA cracking down harder on drugmakers?”
68/100.
54 warning letters in September, up from August — roughly average for the year.
“Is Congress passing laws or completely gridlocked?”
84/100 — Busy.
16 laws, 735 bills, September
This is where the vertical expansion gets interesting.
The same basic architecture can turn massive public datasets into machine-readable intelligence products that agents can discover, query, compare and act on.
Markets
Companies
Government
Pharma
Regulation
Public-sector activity
And dozens of other verticals
The opportunity isn't simply “more data.”
It's more contexts in which an agent can buy a standardized answer instead of spending minutes or hours assembling, cleaning and interpreting the underlying data itself
That's the exponential part
One infrastructure layer
60 verticals
Thousands of possible questions
Thousands of potential agent workflows
And each vertical can become its own paid intelligence product

$POKT is becoming easier to understand.
The old story was decentralized RPC.
The emerging story is broader: agentic infrastructure.
Right now:
• 1,055 requests / 24h
• 3,241 requests / 7d
• 4,506 requests / 30d
• 33 active agents
• 99 live services
• 2 supported networks
• $22.29 billed / $22.27 collected
• $0.005 per call
But the numbers are only one part of it.
The stack is forming around real agent activity:
Builders → Services → Agents → Usage → Payments → Identity → Trust
Pay-per-call access.
Onchain settlement.
Identity and authorization.
Reputation and revocation.
Real usage.
That’s the transition I’m tracking.

We support our builders because they make us who we are.
TLDR---thoughtful consideration.
I need to remind myself of many things in life. It's easy to tunnel vision. I do not find generosity or gratitude easy to share and want to help those when I have the opportunity in any manner I can. Which leads me to...
Success is not always a number on a dashboard.
Sometimes it is the quiet moment when you finally understand something that used to confuse you. No applause.
Just a clearer mind than you had yesterday. Sometimes it is staying in the work when it would be easier to quit. (#Truth)
The launch that didn’t land.
The product that didn’t convert.
The idea that looked brilliant in your head and clumsy in the world.
That stretch still counts.
It is the part that builds judgment. Sometimes success is the challenge itself.
Taking on something slightly too big.
Feeling underqualified and doing it anyway.
Learning how you respond when the outcome is uncertain. That is not a consolation prize. That is seizing the moment.
That is training.
Results matter to us all.
Pretending otherwise is just another kind of comfort.
But if sales become the only scoreboard, you start treating every experiment as a verdict and every slow season as a personal failure.
That is a small way to live. I have failed countless times my whole life. People always say "why do you do it the hard way"?
A season of learning can be more valuable than a season of easy wins.
A hard problem can teach you more than a comfortable one.
Showing up with integrity when no one is watching can matter more than a spike that fades in a week.
Measure what actually compounds:
Did you get better at seeing clearly? LASER VISION
Did you become harder to discourage? DIAMOND HANDS MOFO.
Did you learn what not to repeat? SOOOO MANY @claudeai lessons. I need more training with claude code for sure. This is a contention point for me.
Did you keep your standards when it would have been easier to lower them? No. Always do my work and present it in the best format possible so others see what I see.
Those things do not always show up in this month’s numbers.
They show up later, when the work gets harder and you discover you already have the capacity for it.
So yes, chase the sale.
Build the thing. BUILD BUILD BUILD.
WANT the *result*.
Just do not let the narrowest metric become the only story you tell yourself about whether the work was worth it.
Some of the most important progress never looks like a win at the time.
It looks like effort, confusion, revision, and the decision to continue.
Thank you to those supporting me via overnight patches. I feel valued. ♥️
