Pinknode to Provide Nodes-as-a-Service to PolkaFoundry’s dApps and Ecosystem
We are excited to announce our first partnership with the highly-rated PolkaFoundry who shares our vision of accelerating the growth of Polkadot. We have taken one step closer to promoting cross-project collaboration in Polkadot’s ecosystem.
PolkaFoundry’s Role in Polkadot Ecosystem
PolkaFoundry was founded with the goal of becoming a one-stop production platform for non-fungible tokens (NFT) and DeFi dApps. Seeing the great potential of Polkadot’s scalability and cross-chain interoperability, PolkaFoundry aims to facilitate the integration of more services that would accommodate DeFi development on Polkadot’s protocol. In addition to this, PolkaFoundry gives dApp developers access to blockchain-optimised UX-enabling features which will aid in making mass dApp adoption a reality. PolkaFoundry’s blockchain-specific UX-enabling suite tries to put dApps on the same level of convenient usability as normal applications.
PolkaFoundry has been in development since 2018, with two key phases in its development roadmap. The first phase involved the early development of Polkafoundry’s platform on the Tendermint engine popularised by Cosmos. To date, PolkaFoundry has just entered its second phase and commenced on the re-creating of its platform on the Substrate network, which it shares with Polkadot. Having just launched its Polkadot test net and commenced integration into the Polkadot ecosystem, it is now working on increasing its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Ethereum’s tools.
It is our pleasure to announce that we are PolkaFoundry’s partner of choice for the provision of Polkadot-specific infrastructure. We will be responsible for providing proprietary node infrastructure which will allow PolkaFoundry’s own parachains to optimise their integration with Polkadot’s parachains. As PolkaFoundry moves forward with completing its transition to Polkadot, Pinknode’s stringent adherence to maximum uptime and maximum data integrity will be the stepping stone its developers need.

In addition to this, our strategically organised and highly intuitive developer dashboard will help PolkaFoundry’s developer team ease into the intricacies of Polkadot-native development. Given that PolkaFoundry is likewise dedicated to enhancing user experiences, we are glad to say that highly optimised user interfaces and experiences are something both companies see eye-to-eye on. We are confident in aiding PolkaFoundry to lay the firm foundation for a stellar NFT and DeFi dApp platform in the time to come.
“We are inspired by the vision of the Pinknode team to be the superhighway that connects projects in the fast-growing PolkaFoundry network. We’re experiencing a phenomenal level of proactivity from day one of our collaboration and we are excited about future NaaS developments growing out of this partnership. We are eager to see the team’s efforts and the results in coming months”
Thi Truong, CEO & Co-founder at PolkaFoundry
