Partnerships
PNF partners with chain foundations, exchanges, infrastructure providers, and ecosystem builders to expand open, decentralized data access. Our partnerships are structured around mutual value — we bring decentralized open data infrastructure, and our partners bring distribution, liquidity, or complementary capabilities.
F-Chains: Unlimited Public Data at Wholesale Cost
The F-Chains program is PNF’s core partnership framework. As a non-profit, PNF offers the absolute minimum operating cost for RPC access — dramatically less expensive than any commercial provider.
The rate: $1 USD per 1 Billion Compute Units (CUs). Payments are facilitated in POKT via an app stake.
Chain foundations who sponsor the protocol burn get one or both of:
- Public API Sponsorship — Massively increase throughput and daily caps on the existing no-key-required public endpoints for their chain
- Dedicated API Endpoint — Completely unlimited access with no RPS limits or daily caps, routed across participating gateways for maximum uptime
PNF currently provides free, rate-limited public RPC access to 60+ chains through api.pocket.network. The full list of supported chains and their compute unit costs is available on the Foundation Partnerships page.
Support Public RPC
Anyone can support the public RPC infrastructure by purchasing POKT and sending it to the app stake address for their chain of choice. New POKT is staked daily as it is received. This is the simplest way to support open data and Web3 decentralization.
See the live stake balances and contribution addresses at pocket.network/support-public-rpc.
Partnership Principles
Reciprocal milestones. We structure partnerships around mutual commitments. PNF commits to building and deploying infrastructure; partners commit to distribution, funding, or ecosystem support. Written commitments come before engineering work begins.
Proportional investment. PNF doesn’t deploy infrastructure on new chains or ecosystems without proportional sponsorship. The cost of integration, liquidity bootstrapping, and ongoing maintenance should be shared by the benefiting ecosystem.
Long-term alignment. We prioritize partnerships that grow the Pocket Network ecosystem sustainably over one-off promotional arrangements.
