Centralized AI just learned a hard lesson.
US government issues export control order, basically forced Anthropic to shut down access to its most advanced models worldwide overnight. Not just for foreigners - for everyone.
This is only the beginning. As models approach AGI, expect more government overreach on "national security" grounds.
Pocket Network ($POKT) + Shannon protocol changes the game. Decentralized infrastructure for running powerful open-weight models. No single company or government can flip the switch and take it away from you.
True AI sovereignty isn't asking permission. It's building systems they can't shut down.
Day 1 of a new era.
🚨 Imagine building a Web3 app and suddenly, your backend stops responding.
Infura goes down, Alchemy throttles you, AWS has an outage, and your users can’t interact with your dApp.
Now imagine a world where no centralized provider can block your app, slow you down, or charge outrageous fees.
That world exists, it’s Pocket Network @POKTnetwork
With the Shannon Upgrade, Pocket evolves into the full-stack, decentralized backbone for Web3 and AI, built for reliability, freedom, and scale.
In this thread, I break down how Shannon works, why it matters, and why this is a huge opportunity for developers, node operators, and investors.

@POKTnetwork is exactly what everyone needs - most people just haven't realized it yet. $POKT will shine. The question isn't if, but when. It's inevitable.
Price discovery is just around the corner. The Korean community already knows it - $POKT is the most traded crypto asset in Korea, outperforming all other KRW trading pairs on @Official_Upbit and @BithumbOfficial, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple.
You can either join $POKT early or watch from the sidelines in disbelief. The choice is yours.
It's been a long road and a ton of work, and we know some people thought it would never happen at all. But it's time.
Shannon goes live on June 3rd, 2025 at 10AM PT.
We are coordinating with the noderunners, apps, exchanges, and other community participants to make sure everyone is in final preparation mode. The future of permissionless decentralized open data is about to begin.
