Plans
Pocket Network offers a tiered access model ranging from free public RPC endpoints to dedicated throughput via POKT token staking. The Shannon upgrade (June 2025) made the network fully permissionless — anyone can stake POKT to act as a Gateway operator or Supplier without centralized approval.
Plans is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Pocket Network on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 5 plans, with named plans including Public RPC (Free), Application Staking (Self-Service), Gateway Delegation (Managed), Public Sponsorship, PATH Gateway (Wholesale / Operator).
Tagged areas include Blockchain, RPC, Decentralized, Web3, and Ethereum.
Plans
Free, keyless access to 60+ blockchain RPC endpoints through the public API portal at api.pocket.network. Suitable for development, testing, and light production workloads. No account or API key required — just copy the endpoint URL and start building.
Stake POKT tokens on-chain to receive dedicated relay capacity proportional to your stake. Unlocks higher throughput without rate limits. Capacity scales linearly with the amount of POKT staked. Managed directly through the protocol.
Delegate your staked application to a gateway operator (such as Grove, Nodies, or other PATH-based gateways) for managed access with Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. Recommended for production dApps needing SLA-backed RPC.
Chain foundations and ecosystem teams can sponsor increased throughput caps on the public RPC portal by sending POKT tokens to the application address for a given chain. New POKT is staked daily as received, increasing relay allocation for all public users of that chain's endpoint.
Run your own PATH (Pocket API and Toolkit Harness) gateway on the Pocket Network, staking POKT and routing relays to on-chain suppliers. Wholesale pricing structure applies a per-relay burn rate based on chain-specific Compute Units, with volume rebates up to 40% for high-volume operators.
