Join Us to Build Web3
Laconic is ushering in a new era of internet-scale Web3 applications. We’re solving the hardest problems in Web3 by expanding access to verifiable data, and building a global incentivized peer-to-peer data marketplace.
Interested in participating in the network? Individuals and organizations around the world with different levels of technical expertise can get involved:
Member Validators
Our Tendermint proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain matches data consumers with service providers, and registers all of the available Laconic Watchers. In addition, the Laconic Network governance is all executed on-chain. Help us maintain the security of the blockchain and the Network by becoming a Laconic Member Validator.
• Participate in the Incentivized Testnet
• Run a Laconic Full-Index Node
• Help index blockchain data
• Host Watchers as a Service Provider
Service Providers
True internet-scale Web3 applications demand a robust and scalable data layer. Laconic Service Providers operate this layer by hosting Laconic Watchers that serve blockchain data to DApps. Earn by running the programs that provide DApp developers with their API endpoints.
• Operate data-serving APIs
• Receive payments from data consumers
• Build the global cache of blockchain data
Developers
No longer will Web3 developers struggle with data queries and transformations when building ambitious DApps. The power of Laconic Watchers to specify, transform, and cache blockchain data, and to create custom APIs tailored to individual DApps, will transform Web3 development.
• “Watch” any aspect of blockchain data
• Transform that data programmatically
• Build and expand on prior work - Watchers are composable
• Verify your data cryptographically
Investors
Help us solve the fundamental problems of blockchain adoption and scalability by creating a novel network of indexers and data providers. Whether your interest lies in joining the network as a Member, or helping us build a new generation of Web3 products on the Laconic Network, there is an opportunity for you.
• Become a Laconic Member through auctions
• Pair with operators to run the Laconic Stack
• Invest in the next generation of data-enabled Web3 apps
Incentivized Testnet
We are building the data scalability layer of all blockchains. This project requires professional operators who can manage hardware at scale. By participating in Laconic's Incentivized Testnet, you'll find out if you have what it takes to successfully run the Laconic Stack and meet our reliability and service quality standards. Completing the Incentivized Testnet is a prerequisite for bidding to become a Laconic Member.
• Run the Laconic Stack
• Complete challenges and improve the quality of the network
• Earn rewards
• Participate in Member auctions

@DougieDeLuca
Here’s a few of my favorite slept on protocols at the moment: @ComposableFin @laconicnetwork @archwayHQ @SeiNetwork @Shade_Protocol Each doing industry leading work in their respective niche and poised to gain significant market share during the bear market and beyond.

@Danfinlay
Once we have good end-user caching of partial blockchain state (Like via @laconicnetwork), we could enable users to do lookups on a local phishing list, gaining stronger privacy benefits for much lower cost than a full node.

@motherpredicate
excited about @laconicnetwork this is what actual free market mutualism can create - incentive structures around maintaining tailored state data that can then be made valuable to others as a self-sustaining public good.

@cjremus
I feel hopeful for and inspired by what @laconicnetwork is building 🌟

@dystophiabreaker
shoutout to @cosmosibc and @nomadxyz_, and @agoric and @laconicnetwork

@Ether_Gavin
if you're also wondering how we level up (from ground-level projects), @laconicnetwork looks like a compelling middleware layer to me 👀

@rickmanelius
If you love web3 infra layer tools/solutions, give @laconicnetwork a follow. I'm incredibly excited with what they have coming down the pipeline…

@kumavis
Running infura for free is actually extremely expensive, we pursued a light client before but it required a fresh implementation. hopefully @laconicnetwork solves this problem
