Pod Network is building high-performance, MEV-free crypto trading markets to become the foundation for the next wave of on-chain trading applications. It introduces a unique transaction confirmation structure where, instead of a "block"-based execution model, transactions are streamed to nodes that conduct independent attestation and execute upon majority confirmation.
On top of that, it natively integrates DEX trading-focused features such as an order book, batch auction matching engine, optimistic auctions, and liquidation and margin engines, among others.
On January 28, 2025, Pod Network closed a $10M Seed funding round from a16z crypto, 1kx, and multiple angel investors.
