Pocket Network Shannon Migration Announcement
Pocket Network will undergo a major, consensus-breaking, non-backwards-compatible migration from Morse to Shannon before the end of Q2.
The exact date will be finalized based on community feedback — your input matters. You can read more about our shadow MainNet launch or the history of the migration.
Once a concrete date is set, ecosystem participants will have exactly 14 days to prepare. This could happen as early as next week. It is deliberately lower than the 21-day on-chain unstaking time to prevent the gamification of the network.
The docs behind the links in this post are being updated daily. You can also find a mirror of this post on Notion in table format.
What’s happening to my POKT?
- All staked and liquid balances migrate 1 : 1.
- Shannon is switching to Cosmos cryptographic keys — every account requires a new address. Manual action is required to claim tokens.
- Migration docs are updated continuously — check them before acting.
🏦 Exchanges & Investors
What’s happening & changing? Balances migrate 1:1, but new cryptographic schemes are used for addresses and keys.
What do you need to do?
- Create Shannon accounts
- Claim Morse accounts
- (Optional) Run a full node

⚙️ Suppliers (formerly Servicers / Node-Runners)
What’s happening & changing? Supplier stakes & balances migrate onchain, but operators must update their tooling, infra, and configs to provide services and earn rewards on Shannon.
What do you need to do?
- Stake a Shannon Supplier
- Stand up a Relay Miner
- Claim your Morse Servicer
- Reconfigure your endpoints

🌐 Applications & Gateways
What’s happening & changing? App stakes & balances migrate onchain, but Gateway operators must migrate to running PATH to settle traffic on Shannon.
What do you need to do?
- Stake a Shannon Application
- Stake a Shannon Gateway
- Stand up a PATH Gateway
- Claim your Morse Application

🔐 Validators
What’s happening & changing? Validators are now decoupled from Suppliers and follow standard Cosmos patterns.
What do you need to do?
- Review validator walkthrough
- Reach out if you’d like to join the initial set

Thank you
This migration is the first step toward our shared vision of a crypto-native API Layer. What does that mean? It co-exists with Web2 services, supports traditional enterprises, and is gearing up to enable an internet of agentic API requests.
On behalf of Grove Inc. and the Pocket Network Foundation, thank you for your continued support.
