RPC DAO Council Q1 2022 Candidate: pikpokt

Hi All, I’m Adam from Pocket Network and NachoNodes. I’ve been tangentially involved in the Harmony ecosystem for some time now.

Pocket is a decentralized RPC provider that serves part of Harmony’s traffic. Pocket has been working closely with Harmony since the fall of 2021 and has helped with RPC firefighting directly with the Harmony team. With Pocket being an active contributor to Harmony RPC, it seems natural to continue to support as a governor in the RPC DAO.

Further, as a Partner of NachoNodes, a node-as-a-service business, we run dozens of Harmony nodes and we are intimately familiar with running these nodes which we optimize for RPC traffic. This gives me an attractive perspective for governing on the RPC DAO Council.

Having been involved in an RPC protocol and a node running service provider, I can bring perspective to the others on the council. My value on the council will come from:

  • Envisioning and helping to implement incentivization mechanisms for node runners
  • Collaborating with Pocket Network and other decentralized RPC ecosystems to support Harmony
  • Working to onboard existing, professional node runners onto Harmony
  • Assisting with the progressive decentralization of this committee over time with the Harmony team

As a note, I will be unable to attend the scheduled AMA due to some much-needed PTO that I have planned. It’s not a signal of any disinterest, I will just be unplugging for a few days.

This is a great opportunity to further my relationship with the Harmony community and give back in a meaningful way.

You can hit me up here for questions.
