pod is a novel programmable distributed ledger that prioritizes performance and efficiency by implementing a unique approach to transaction processing and consensus. Instead of enforcing strict transaction ordering like traditional blockchains, pod allows transactions to have temporal flexibility while maintaining byzantine resilience.
pod achieves exceptional performance through:
Fast finality: Transactions confirmed in 200ms.
Short-term censorship resistance: Leaderless, blockless design that doesn't allow a transaction to be censored even for a small duration.
Light client support: All receipts and logs include aggregate signature from pod's committee, allowing for trustless design and verification of pod transacitons on other chains.
pod leverages "fast path" for compatible operations that don't require strict ordering, such as payments and certain types of smart contracts. This allows for significantly faster transaction processing compared to traditional blockchain systems.

To interact with pod, you'll need a Web3-compatible wallet. Popular options include MetaMask and Frame. Follow these steps to configure your wallet:
Open your Web3 wallet application
Navigate to the network management section (usually found in settings)
Select "Add Network" or "Add Custom Network"
Enter the network parameters provided above
Save your configuration
Your wallet should now be connected to pod. You can verify the connection by checking that your wallet displays the correct network name and chain ID.
To begin development or testing on pod, you'll need test tokens. Our faucet service provides these tokens free of charge:
Connect your configured wallet or enter your wallet address
Request test tokens
Wait for the transaction to complete
Please note that faucet requests are rate-limited to ensure fair distribution of test tokens.

If you encounter issues during setup or have questions about pod, please:
Use the block explorer to verify transaction status and history
Review the RPC documentation for proper endpoint usage
Remember to always verify you're using the correct network parameters and up-to-date software versions when troubleshooting connection issues.
: Process transactions independently without direct communication between them
: Connect to validators, maintain state and provide RPC servers for clients.
: Applications interacting with pod network.
: Account-to-account transfers with optimal latency
: Efficient auction execution with accountability, e.g. fast batch auctions, orderbooks, marketplaces.
: High-performance content feeds e.g. for decentralised socials
