Pocket Network to Power Moonbeam & Moonriver RPC Layer

Pocket is excited to announce a new collaboration with Moonbeam and Moonriver by offering a decentralized and permissionless RPC service that eliminates single-points-of-failure while providing a robust and low-latency solution to their blockchain ecosystems. Moonbeam is now the first fully operational parachain on Polkadot, with dozens of projects already deployed. Similarly, Pocket Network is excited to launch on Moonbeam’s sister chain Moonriver, which brought significant DApp deployments and usage to the Kusama network in Q3 2021.

Moonbeam and Moonriver - Interoperability with Ethereum

Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform on the Polkadot network that makes it easy to build natively interoperable applications. This Ethereum compatibility allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends to Moonbeam with minimal changes. Like Moonriver, its sister parachain on Kusama, Moonbeam is expected to accumulate developer and user activity from the 80+ projects building DApps and protocols on the network. As a parachain on the Polkadot network, Moonbeam benefits from the shared security of the Polkadot Relay Chain and integrations with other chains that are connected to Polkadot.Moonbeam and Moonriver now have over 100 projects, integrations, and collaborations in the works, representing a vibrant ecosystem for both developers and end-users. With end-to-end EVM-compatibility, Moonbeam is fully-equipped to support all developers who want to build DApps that can natively interoperate across chains and tap into the emerging cross-chain market.Due to its interoperability, ease of use, and cost-efficiency, Moonbeam has established itself as the go-to space for many blockchain projects, ranging from NFTs to gaming, DeFi to decentralized storage, and much more.Francisco Agosti, Business Development Team at Moonbeam, emphasizes:

“We could not be more excited to bring Pocket Network to the Moonbeam ecosystem. With this integration, Moonbeam community members are now incentivized to run full nodes on behalf of the Moonbeam Network and thus contribute to its decentralization, resiliency and censorship resistance.”

The Path Forward

Pocket Network is pleased to invite developers to mint Moonbeam & Moonriver RPC endpoints, and node runners to service these chains and earn POKT. Developers can get started with endpoints at the Pocket Portal. Signing up takes 2 minutes or less, and developers can start using the endpoints immediately. For a period of time, Pocket Network will be sponsoring RPC usage for growing applications on Moonbeam and Moonriver networks.To start using Pocket Network for your Moonbeam and Moonriver needs, you can mint RPC Endpoints for these chains via the Pocket Portal.You can also try the sponsored community endpoint before minting your own.Note: Make sure to join us for an AMA with Moonbeam on their Twitter account on June 16th, where you can learn much more about Pocket Network and Moonbeam’s collaboration!
