Three new Gateways, Developer DAO, Porters, and Chainstack, have joined POKT Network, providing developers with read/write access to over 60 blockchains by utilizing the platform's decentralized infrastructure. The Gateways are vital to POKT Network's goal of scaling API access to a wide range of open data sources on the internet.

Each Gateway functions as an access point to POKT Network, improving data accessibility and network performance. By operating on POKT Network's infrastructure, Gateways eliminate the need for building and maintaining underlying infrastructure, enabling businesses like Developer DAO, Porters, and Chainstack to function independently.

This innovative approach allows various businesses, both centralized and decentralized, to resell infrastructure access through a blockchain protocol. The launch of these Gateways marks significant progress in POKT Network's mission to offer developers and enterprises reliable, performance-driven, and cost-effective data services.

POKT Network has established itself as a decentralized physical infrastructure network with exceptional resilience, scalability, and cost-efficiency. The network, featuring over 15,000 nodes across 22 countries, ensures 100% uptime and under 25ms latency across numerous blockchains at a cost of $0.85 per million API requests.

The addition of three new Gateways underlines the network's growth strategy, with a total of six Gateways now operational. This expansion signifies a substantial scaling of POKT Network's Gateway strategy.

The future of decentralized data access is set to advance with the Shannon Upgrade by POKT Network, scheduled for release in the summer of 2024. This upgrade will streamline integration for RPC providers and projects, offering permissionless gateway creation and enhanced censorship resistance.

The Shannon Upgrade aims to reduce costs, enhance data access, and encourage collaborative efforts within the decentralized data infrastructure ecosystem.

POKT Network continues to lead the way in decentralized blockchain infrastructure, enabling developers to create scalable, secure, and efficient blockchain applications with seamless data access. By providing developers with the necessary tools and resources, POKT Network supports innovation and accessibility in the blockchain space.
