The network partnership introduces Pocket’s decentralized RPC &amp; open data services to Klemoedes’s comprehensive suite of Cosmos ecosystem solutions
Web pioneer <a href="https://x.com/POKTnetwork" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pocket Network</a> is joining forces with staking platform Kleomedes – host of the biggest networks in the Cosmos ecosystem — to deliver high-performing, decentralized, competitively-priced RPC and open data services to the Cosmos ecosystem.
Through this collaboration, Kleomedes is now actively integrated into Pocket Network’s infrastructure strategy as a key partner, and operating nodes within the Pocket ecosystem. This includes onboarding their validator communities and end-users into using RPC endpoints powered by Pocket.
The partnership is primarily focused on aligning incentives and will see Kleomedes strengthen its offering with fast, cost-efficient, decentralized infrastructure for Cosmos networks. Pocket, in turn, will expand its presence in one of the most active interchain ecosystems.
<blockquote>
 “To unlock the true promise of Web3, we must build infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and free of centralized intermediaries. Partnering with Pocket Network lets us stay true to that vision by extending our decentralized infrastructure and giving the Cosmos ecosystem a cost-effective alternative for data access,” said Marco Rinaldi, Kleomedes Founder.
</blockquote>
Cosmos has long been a champion of decentralization and modularity, but many of its dApps and chains still rely on centralized RPC providers. This partnership helps correct that by offering a native decentralized option.
Pocket Network is now serving decentralized RPC endpoints for a growing number of Cosmos chains, including Akash, AtomOne, Fetch, Osmosis,Cheqd, Chihuahua, Elys Network, Jackal, Juno, Stagaze, Persistence, Router, Seda, and Shentu, with others to come in the near future. All of which are a part of Klemedes Validator lineup.
<blockquote>
 “We’re proud to begin adding additional support for the Cosmos ecosystem as part of our becoming a fully native Cosmos chain. This partnership with Kleomedes is the beginning of a broad expansion of chain support for Pocket Network” said Chris “Jinx” Jenkins of the Pocket Network.
</blockquote>
For projects like Router Protocol and Osomosis, this means access to a scalable, censorship-resistant alternative to centralized infrastructure. dApps and users benefit from faster, more resilient access to blockchain data without relying on a single provider.
The setup will help reduce infrastructure centralization risks while providing these chains with greater uptime guarantees through Pocket’s relay marketplace, which includes hundreds of independent node runners.
Kleomedes’ position as a prominent validator and onboarding platform across Cosmos gives it unique reach. By integrating Pocket, they’re enabling builders, stakers, and communities to access infrastructure that’s decentralized by design, without needing to manage their own node.
About Kleomedes
<a href="https://kleomed.es/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kleomedes</a> promotes decentralization of the Cosmos ecosystem through its unique staking solution, a user-friendly platform designed to simplify the experience. Kleomedes believes in helping users make more informed staking decisions while working toward making staking accessible to everybody, while promoting a more decentralized and secure blockchain ecosystem.
About Pocket Network
<a href="https://x.com/POKTnetwork" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pocket Network</a> is a decentralized blockchain data platform that provides access to blockchain data for Web3 decentralized applications (dApps). It acts as a relay network, connecting applications to full nodes (which store and process blockchain data.) Pocket uses a native cryptocurrency, POKT, to facilitate this process, creating a marketplace where node providers can earn rewards for servicing application requests.
