We're past laying the foundation.

We're not quite polishing edges yet.

We are stabilizing and framing.

The improvements are beginning to compound.

--- Quick tl;dr below ---

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: Reducing chain bloat, faster snapshots, and moving forward with IBC integration.

𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞: Fine-tuning rewards for fairness and long-term sustainability.

𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐮𝐩𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬: Fixing session rollover bugs, boosting global performance, and adding deep observability tools.

𝐃𝐞𝐯 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: New SDKs and load-testing tools make building on PATH smoother than ever.

𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡: RelayMiner stability improved, Grove infra revamp coming, and major partnerships (e.g. XRPL EVM)

📢 Pocket Network Shannon Migration Announcement 📢

🌀 Pocket Network will undergo a major, consensus-breaking, non-backwards-compatible migration from Morse to Shannon before the end of Q2 🌀

The exact date will be finalized based on community feedback — your input matters.

🗓 Once a concrete date is set, ecosystem participants will have exactly 14 days to prepare. This could happen as early as next week.

👇 More details in the link below 👇

This migration is the first step toward our shared vision of a crypto-native API Layer.

What does that mean? It co-exists with Web2 services, supports traditional enterprises, and is gearing up to enable an internet of agentic API requests.

🌿 On behalf of @BuildWithGrove and @POKTnetwork - thank you for your continued support 🌿

@randomoctopus22 Does this account for PATH gateway or just the Shannon part?

[red0ne @redzeratul]

🚀 Exciting news, @POKTnetwork! WebSockets support is finally coming to Shannon. 🌐✨

Get ready to have it live for the mainnet launch! 🔥

[red0ne @redzeratul]

🚀 Shannon Load Test on Devnet 🚀

✅ 10,000 proofs submitted and validated
✅ 10,000 claims settled
⏳ 2 minutes elapsed

Is this good enough for a mainnet launch, or should we aim for more?

As you can see, we've been in the kitchen cooking! 🧑‍🍳

Stay tuned next week for more updates!

[red0ne @redzeratul]

Mind the "load test lasting a few minutes"😉 Don't miss the next episode. It will be mind blowing!

🚨🗿🧪 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 🧪🗿🚨

@POKTnetwork's Morse MainNet demand is permissioned due to scalability issues.

Shannon solves this.

Last week, our engineering team ran our first real onchain load test lasting a few minutes on Shannon 🅱️ TestNet.

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝟖-𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐭, the chain kept moving!

Read on 🧵…

There is exactly one appropriate response to a load test with 10K Proofs & Claims 💪

I feel like Deepseek-7b and 67b should probably be the first LLMs on @POKTnetwork.

We don’t just build in public. We plan, review, and iterate in public too 📖

From @BuildWithGrove to @POKTnetwork, our roadmaps and progress have been public since Day 1⃣️

Want to see what we’re working on right now? 👀

“If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” - @reidhoffman

> Am I embarrassed by the first version of Shannon Beta TestNet?

Yes.

> Am I extremely proud of the engineering team @BuildWithGrove?

Yes.

> Do I think we have one of the most mature and high-quality Cosmos blockchains out there?

Yes.

> Do I believe we have the foundation that can easily scale to support, incentivize and relay all RPC requests for open-source services and data sources?

Yes.

> Am I super excited for all of the upcoming announcements in the coming weeks for how others can onboard onto Shannon?

Yes.

@olshansky @BuildWithGrove @POKTnetwork Disincentives are not a option or a nice to have. They are at the core of permissionless protocols.

Any project targeting mainnet must carefully design both.

[Grove 🌿 @BuildWithGrove]

Just another Friday night where all the pieces fit together.

✅ Shannon Full Node
✅ Shannon Relay Miner
✅ PATH Gateway
⬜ Everyone runs their own Gateway on @POKTnetwork

@olshansky I can see the `TODO: Make it simpler` written there 😆

[Daniel Olshansky @olshansky]

There's nothing ground-breaking in this visual, but I felt like I needed a visual to capture the nuance to some of the conversations I often have.

The tradeoffs today are still asymmetrical, but I anticipate there will be a handful of step functions to reach the end goal.

[Daniel Olshansky @olshansky]

Relay Mining & Decentralized Gateways

@POKTnetwork is the only protocol I know that creates an incentive for RPC nodes. This is not possible without the performance guarantees from @BuildWithGrove.

Thanks @d_InfraSummit for hosting such a great event!

@alleneubank The best I could think of is to pass it to a user-defined type guard
Something like:
const data = https://t.co/APQpA8Odc6
if (isValidationResult(data))
with:
function isValidationResult(data: any): data is ValidationResult

[red0ne @redzeratul]

@alleneubank Tricky one,
`new Uint8Array()` has a length of `0`, so there's no `flags[0]` to bet set.
Weird that JS silence the assignment.

@BelkacemB Faisable, jette un œil a Kleros pour une gestion de disputes décentralise. Ce n'est pas suffisent mais un bon début.
