# PATH Gateway

### Overview

`PATH Gateway` is responsible for relaying requests between a client dApp (e.g. mobile app, web app, etc...) and the [Supplier](https://docs.pocket.network/building-on-the-pocket-network/welcome-to-pokt-roll/protocol-specifications/protocol-actors/supplier-actor)s on Pocket Network, handling all intermediary business logic.

A [Gateway](https://docs.pocket.network/building-on-the-pocket-network/welcome-to-pokt-roll/protocol-specifications/protocol-actors/gateway-actor) operator or a sovereign [Application](https://docs.pocket.network/building-on-the-pocket-network/welcome-to-pokt-roll/protocol-specifications/protocol-actors/application-actor) interested in accessing Pocket Network directly would need to run a `PATH Gateway` or custom software that implements the same functionality.

### Configuration

Configurations and additional documentation related to operating a `PATH Gateway` can be found at [path\_gateway.md](https://path.grove.city/category/path-configurations).
