Pocket Network, a relay infrastructure middleware protocol which provides abundant blockchain bandwidth from a globally-distributed network of 27k+ full nodes to applications in Web3 across 37 blockchains, including , Polygon, , Fuse, and Harmony, reports a surge in demand with a record of 9.5 billion relays serviced in the month of January – up over 80% from the previous month. The remarkable feat results in an astonishing 100x rise in daily relays in just one year.

This spike was evident throughout January, when multiple single-day relay record highs were set. Sometimes these records were consecutively. Pocket Network is currently at 359M relays per 24 hours. It’s on pace to break the 1 Billion relays per day milestone by 2022, as more blockchains and apps integrate with the global decentralized infrastructure Pocket Network offers.

“Exponential Growth in One Area feeds into the Flywheel of Growth in The Pocket Network Ecosystem.”
said Michael O’Rourke, CEO and Founder at Pocket Network.

More relays equals more incentives which in turn leads to more nodes being created. The cycle continues: a stronger network fosters trust in new apps and a stronger network leads to a stronger network. Pocket Network has already started to support more than 100 blockchains before the year ends.
Pocket’s steady growth is proof that there is demand for web3 infrastructure. The demand for decentralized web3 infrastructure is not affected by market conditions and will remain a majorstay during a bull or bear market. As its protocol is more unambiguous in terms of industry utility and replaces middlemen with middleware in order to maximize the inefficiencies inherent in the way that the cryptocurrency industry is currently supported by cloud computing providers and hosting providers, liquidity channels may also open. Being cheaper, faster, better has been the winning formula to Pocket’s scale and dominance.
