The core business of Pocket Network is to provide decentralized data relay service (or RPC service) for developers on all public chains. Compared with the centralized service mode adopted by mainstream data service providers such as Infura and Alchemy, The core part of data service of Pocket Network is provided by all node operators in the Network. In the long run, the distributed node cluster has better robustness than the centralized node operators such as Infura, avoiding the possibility of single point of failure, but it is cheaper and laborless than the developer running the whole node of the public chain by himself.

As the middle layer service protocol connecting the bottom public chain and the upper layer application, Pocket Network is a typical Web3 infrastructure project.
