Automata Network and Pocket Network Partnership

“Our protocol-agnostic, decentralized infrastructure is designed in such a way as to open up universal access to the world’s public data. Partnering with Automata Network is yet another technical leg-up as it brings an additional layer of privacy and resilience for dApp builders and data consumers within our thriving ecosystem.”

– Michael O’Rourke, Co-Founder of Pocket Network

As DeFi grows at rates that seem parabolic, issues such as front-running in the form of Miner Extractable Value (MEV) are beginning to threaten the long term growth and stability of existing blockchain networks. Privacy continues to be an afterthought, evident in the early protocol design or technical approach projects are choosing to adopt. And yet, as the industry grows from what was once a niche community to a parallel economic system, a privacy-fronted future is no longer fancy, but fact.

“One of the most under-appreciated effects of privacy is how it ripples into other areas of technology, transforming everything from identity to social media to DeFi. As one of the few pioneering innovations in the field, our partnership with Pocket Network echoes the fundamental shift in human economic activity that’s already happening.”

– Deli Gong, Co-Founder at Automata Network

While the microtransactions of today’s Internet may be a bane, the privacy of tomorrow’s applications will turn that on its head. With Pocket Network looking to solve crucial issues hampering the adoption of Web3, it comes as no surprise that the two projects have joined forces to empower dApps to build in alignment with the decentralized economy.

Automata is also an initial wPOKT launch partner, meaning farmers that participate in its upcoming data farming program will also be subsidizing relays for Automata’s infrastructure.
