x402 solves how agents pay. @POKTnetwork is building how agents access and pay for data.
Machine-to-machine payments + machine-readable data.
The pieces are coming together. $POKT

@RaoulGMI It's absolutely amazing to see guys like Raoul Pal recognizing the size and potential of agent economy so early.

I can't wait to see the day when Raoul Pal will be talking about Pocket Network base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935

@drew_mailen Yes. $POKT will solve this when Agentic Portal goes live next week.

[Random Retiree @randomoctopus22]

The market still thinks of base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 as decentralized RPC infrastructure.

That view is outdated.

Shannon fundamentally changed what @POKTnetwork can be.

Pocket Network is now a permissionless service network where arbitrary APIs and microservices can be registered, deployed by suppliers, routed through gateways and consumed programmatically. The upcoming Agentic Portal is what finally connects that supply to an automated demand layer.

AI agents won't care about brands. They won't sit through sales funnels or compare landing pages. They'll search for the capability they need, sort by price/reputation, pay through x402 and execute within milliseconds.

Pocket's strategy is to be everywhere in that search surface.

Pocket Network Foundation has already prepared hundreds of services with high demand for rapid deployment. Search, extraction, OCR, document conversion, inference, embeddings, market data, utilities - the kind of "boring" microservices autonomous agents will consume continuously.

But the real advantage isn't PNF manually building hundreds of services.

It's Shannon being an open marketplace.

Anyone can identify a new agentic opportunity, register the service on the network, deploy it, become an early supplier and capture the profits. Tokenomics are built wisely to incentivize fast market adoption. That way catalog of services can expand very fast.

This is what people still don't get about @thepoktopus "Amazon of Data" thesis (https://t.co/qomcv5izsu).

Amazon did not need to manufacture every product.

It created the marketplace where suppliers had an incentive to list whatever customers wanted.

Pocket is about to do the same for machine-consumable services.

The flywheel is simple:

more services → more discovery → more successful paid relays → stronger reputation → more traffic → more incentives for builders → even more services.

And PNF has another major lever: its own Agentic Portal revenue will be used entirely to buy POKT.

So agent activity can become direct, recurring buy pressure:

agents pay USDC → PNF buys base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 → relays are consumed through Shannon.

Even competing third-party gateways are ultimately beneficial for the protocol because their traffic still requires Pocket appstakes and paid relays.

Shortly after Agentic Portal launch, it will become evident whether the marketplace starts becoming self-reinforcing:

organic agent traffic, repeat usage, rapidly growing service coverage, and eventually third-party builders launching profitable services without PNF needing to coordinate them.

Incentives are in place already. Service owners get 3% reward. With all that happening, Pocket is no longer just infrastructure for blockchain requests.

It becomes endlessly scalable infrastructure for autonomous machine commerce. Infrastructure for growing agentic market (https://t.co/TGU3AlIhsY).

Funnily, at today's valuation, none of this is priced in at all. And POKT is a week away from launching the most significant demand driver since inception. I don't think market realized this at all.

Imagine the shock when people realize what base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 has accidentally built during bear market. @POKTnetwork has built a perfect protocol for the agentic economy that will fully reveal its potential next week when Pocket Agent Portal goes live. It is going through security audit and it's waiting for @CoinbaseDev to issue an API key.

It's gonna be a wild ride.

@POKTnetwork @randomoctopus22 @aex402 🔥🔥

[POKT Network @POKTnetwork]

@POKTnetwork x @aex402

aeX402 is a multi-chain RPC and MCP gateway for AI agents, metered under x402 standard at $0.0001 per call.

Pocket Network is offering the read layer behind it for Base, Solana, Robinhood Chain and Hyperliquid, so aeX402 gets permissionless multi-chain coverage without running a node fleet per chain.

Another day, another win for the AI agent economy.

[POKT Network @POKTnetwork]

Your trading bot watches three chains.

The job is simple:

> Read what’s happening onchain.
> Confirm whether a tx happened.
> Check a pool.
> Act when conditions hit.

The annoying part is paying for it.

One plan for Solana. Another for Base. Another for the chain it touched twice in July.

And every plan assumes your bot behaves like a normal customer, when it doesn’t.

It can sit there for six hours doing absolutely nothing, then a candle breaks and suddenly it needs 10,000 requests in four minutes.

Instead of a subscription, your bot needs an answer when it asks for one, and a way to pay for that answer itself.

That’s what Pocket has built.

The agent makes a request > gets quoted a fraction of a cent > pays without friction > gets the data.

Nothing happening? It pays nothing.

Everything happening at once? It uses what it needs.

Under the hood is x402, an open payment standard settled in stablecoins, with requests served by independent operators across 60+ chains.

No account. No API key. No rate-limit upgrade requests.

You ship the bot and it buys its own data as needed.

[Random Retiree @randomoctopus22]

Erik Voorhees just posted one of the clearest real-world examples yet of what the agentic economy is actually going to look like.

His AI agent needed access to a service he had no account with. It independently discovered Apify @apify, created its own wallet, received USDC, negotiated an x402 payment, paid for the service, retrieved the data and continued the task.

No account. No subscription. No API key. No sales funnel. No human deciding which infrastructure provider to use.

This is exactly why Pocket Network is sitting in a far more interesting position than most of the market realizes.

With Shannon, base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 is no longer limited to being decentralized RPC infrastructure for blockchains. The network has effectively become a permissionless coordination layer for arbitrary services, meaning suppliers can serve everything from blockchain data to search, inference, embeddings, document processing and thousands of lightweight microservices specifically designed for autonomous agents.

Now think about the upcoming Pocket Network Agentic Portal (https://t.co/qomcv5izsu) that is going live early in September.

The important part isn't simply that Pocket will support agent payments. Plenty of services will support x402.

The interesting part is what @POKTnetwork can put behind that payment interface.

Most providers in today's agentic marketplaces are specialists. They expose a handful of services, sometimes only one or two. Pocket Network is going take the opposite approach: use an existing global supplier network to continuously add and broadcast an enormous catalog of services into the discovery layers agents already use.

That changes the competitive game completely.

An autonomous agent doesn't need to know what Pocket Network is. It doesn't need to believe in decentralization, read a whitepaper or care about the base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 brand.

It simply searches for the service it needs, evaluates the available options within milliseconds, pays and moves on.

@POKTnetwork's job is therefore much simpler: consistently appear in those searches at an acceptable price and successfully deliver the result.

And Shannon gives it a very interesting structural advantage for doing exactly that.

A supplier already running heavy blockchain infrastructure can potentially add tiny agent-focused microservices with almost negligible incremental resource requirements. That means the network can expand its service catalog without having to build an entirely new infrastructure stack every time a new agentic use case appears.

More services means more searches in which Pocket can appear. More discovery means more opportunities for successful transactions. Every successful interaction builds history and reputation, increasing the likelihood that Pocket continues to surface as the ecosystem matures.

Some long-tail services may even have little or no competition at all.

And because the underlying network cost can be dramatically below the retail price agents are willing to pay for useful microservices, PNF potentially has enormous flexibility to compete on price if discovery markets become increasingly price-sensitive.

Now read the “Amazon of Data” thesis on https://t.co/bd4tMzGxaX blog again. Amazon didn't become dominant because every individual product it sold was unique.

It won because whenever you needed something, there was an increasingly high probability Amazon had it.

Pocket now has the architecture to pursue a similar strategy for machine-consumable services.

The really important shift is that the next massive class of internet consumers may not be humans at all.

It may be autonomous agents making millions or eventually billions of tiny economic decisions every day - discovering data, paying for compute, querying APIs, converting files, searching the web and accessing whatever service is required to complete their mission.

Those agents will need an infrastructure layer that is open, programmable, extremely broad and economically efficient.

Shannon may have quietly transformed @POKTnetwork from a decentralized RPC project into infrastructure capable of serving exactly that world.

The agentic economy is still incredibly early, which is precisely why the opportunity is interesting.

If autonomous agents become one of the dominant sources of internet activity over the coming years, the networks that position themselves today as the underlying marketplace for their data and services could become dramatically more important than their current valuations imply.

That is the future base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 is positioning for.

A world where machines become the customers, APIs become the storefronts, x402 becomes the checkout, and Pocket becomes the network behind the shelves.

Today's $17m market cap doesn't reflect agentic commerce and any aspects of it yet. Don't get surprised to see parabolic price chart for base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935

[Avi 🐸 @book_of_healing]

Agentic Portal going live Soon(TM) on @POKTnetwork !

That means agents will be able to autonomously use Pocket as a data source with each relay costing $0.005.

How does this benefit base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935 holders?

Each relay is paid in $USDC and used to buy base:0x764a726d9ced0433a8d7643335919deb03a9a935

They started solo ��� just names in a Discord server.

Then they became ambassadors.

Then they became builders.

Now, they're the ones telling the story.

As agentic AI moves from chatbots to autonomous systems executing complex tasks and micropayments, the infrastructure layer becomes critical - exactly as outlined in the recent Franklin Templeton analysis.

Pocket Network's upgrades, including ERC-8294 (https://t.co/Ya8YVvWYcn), are building precisely what's needed. The standard enables POKT's permissionless network of independent nodes to serve as a decentralized validation/trust layer for AI agents. Combined with the Shannon upgrade and planned x402 support, services on the network can publish structured JSON metadata describing what they offer and how much they cost.

Very soon, agents will be able to scan available data sources, connect, pay autonomously for access, and disconnect - all without API keys or vendor lock-in.

Real infrastructure for the agentic economy, not just another hype narrative in crypto.
