Introduction
Pocket Network was founded in 2017 by Michael P. O'Rourke. It has its headquarter in Tampa, United States.
Pocket Network is a decentralized infrastructure for developers who want to build peer-to-peer applications. It is a blockchain data ecosystem for Web3 applications that uses cost-efficient economics to coordinate and distribute data at scale. The company's platform lets seamless and secure interactions between blockchains and acrossapplications be simply integrated into websites, mobile apps, IoT, and more, giving developers the freedom to put blockchain-enabled applications into the “pocket” of every mainstream consumer.
If it is running on a single service provider, it is just an app with extra steps. Pocket Network is tackling this problem at the full node layer so that the shared Web3 vision of a more fair, “censorship-resistant” internet can be protected and secured. The company aims to guarantee that no application, big or small, is subject to the pitfalls of Web2-like gatekeepers.
The heart of Pocket Network can be encompassed with 1 phrase, Be Undeniable. In other words, “Be so good they can’t ignore you”. This northstar reflects the journey of Pocket Network to redefine the Web3 infrastructure landscape forever, and the team’s attitude towards the mission. The values below provide more context and structure to this statement.
