What is GODS Network?

GODS Network is a secure, subscription-based messaging protocol designed specifically for web3. It allows developers to easily subscribe to blockchain data from multiple chains and seamlessly integrate that data into their applications without having to build or maintain complex infrastructure. This is especially beneficial for AI agents, token bridges, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and Decentralized Identity (DID) applications that require reliable, real-time, cross-chain data.

To put it simply, think of GODS Network as an RSS feed for blockchain data, but one that is verified, real-time, and designed for decentralized applications.

Why was GODS Network created separately from Partisia Blockchain?

There were three main reasons for establishing GODS Network as a separate entity:

1. Regulatory Flexibility: Partisia Blockchain is governed by a Swiss foundation, which has legal and structural limitations that could hinder direct commercial engagements. Operating GODS Network independently enables more agile decision-making and compliance management.
2. Operational Freedom: By running separately, GODS Network can form business relationships directly with node operators and clients, offering Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and other formal arrangements that wouldn’t be possible under the foundation’s structure.
3. Financial Independence: Importantly, GODS Network is entirely self-funded. It hasn’t taken any resources from the Partisia Blockchain Foundation, ensuring there’s no drain on existing Partisia initiatives or funding.
   

What makes GODS Network more secure than traditional bridges?

Security is at the core of GODS Network’s architecture. Built on Partisia Blockchain,which leverages advanced Multiparty Computation (MPC), a privacy-preserving technology that ensures secure data handling. In contrast to many traditional bridges (which have been the target of multi-billion dollar hacks), GODS Network incorporates transparent operations, timely message delivery, and active risk monitoring.

This proactive approach not only avoids common vulnerabilities but also ensures that users and developers can trust the reliability of cross-chain messaging.

How is this different from other protocols like LayerZero or Wormhole?

While projects like LayerZero and Wormhole have made strides in cross-chain communication, GODS Network takes a more open and flexible approach. Rather than offering predefined endpoints, it allows developers to subscribe to any Web3 data source. It’s also general-purpose, not limited to specific use cases like token bridging.

Its architecture is better aligned with emerging Web3 markets, particularly in sectors such as Real World Assets (RWA), AI-driven applications, DeFi platforms, and decentralized identity systems.

What’s the impact of GODS Network on Partisia Blockchain and the $MPC token?

GODS Network acts as a powerful adoption driver for the Partisia Blockchain ecosystem. Every time a cross-chain message is processed, it generates transaction activity on the public blockchain, increasing overall throughput.

Additionally, GODS Network node operators will be required to stake wrapped $MPC tokens, which enhances the token’s utility. This increased demand for $MPC helps strengthen the overall network economy and encourages deeper engagement with Partisia as a Web3 infrastructure layer.

How is it different from existing interoperability mechanics provided for by Partisia Blockchain like BYOC?

BYOC (Bring Your Own Coin) allows users to bring tokens from other chains onto Partisia Blockchain and use them natively. It’s focused on moving value across chains.

In contrast, GODS Network is focused on moving data. It’s a lightweight, flexible solution for cross-chain messaging that extends beyond financial transactions. While BYOC is deeply integrated into Partisia’s economic model, GODS Network broadens the scope by enabling a wider range of Web3 applications.

Who are the node operators on GODS Network?

Initially, nodes will be run by GN Solutions and a small group of trusted partners. These operators will be bound by strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to ensure reliability, performance, and data integrity.

While full decentralization isn’t the immediate focus, there is potential for expansion as the network grows and matures. There is a potential for existing PBC node operators, as well as immediate benefits to PBC node operators through more transactions on chain through the existing fee share model.

Is there a GODS Network token?

No, there is no new token associated with GODS Network. Instead, it follows a revenue-sharing model based on subscription fees. These fees are used in two main ways; a portion is allocated to cover gas costs across the various integrated chains. The remainder is distributed between GN Solutions and the node operators, creating a sustainable ecosystem without diluting value through new token issuance.

When is it going live?

GODS Network is already live on testnet, with a more public-facing version expected in the next month. Developers and projects interested in building on the protocol are encouraged to reach out now and get early access. Find out more about GODS Network here.

What’s the benefit to $MPC holders?

GODS Network directly contributes to the utility and value of the $MPC token in several ways:

• It increases transaction volume on the Partisia Blockchain.
• It creates new staking opportunities via GN node operations.
• It positions Partisia Blockchain as a leader in the Web3 infrastructure space helping it stand out in an increasingly fragmented ecosystem.
• It increases opportunities e.g. open up dialogue with partners in novel ways.

What’s the long-term vision?

The long-term vision is to  build a usable, scalable, and privacy-preserving environment. By enabling secure, real-time messaging across Layer 1 and Layer 2 chains, GODS Network will help unify the fragmented blockchain landscape.

At its core, the mission is to give users control over their data and interactions through secure, private-by-default infrastructure that’s interoperable across ecosystems.

Who’s already using or interested in GODS Network?

While specific names haven’t been disclosed yet, early partnerships are forming across a range of sectors. These include:

• AI-driven applications
• Real World Asset (RWA) platforms
• DeFi protocols
• Decentralized Identity (DID) solutions

These use cases reflect the versatility and broad appeal of GODS Network’s architecture.

Community Questions

“Is this a distraction from Partisia?”
No, GODS network is not a distraction, it’s an amplifier. It has been built as a strategic extension to increase user adoption, drive transactions, and generate real-world utility for the Partisia Blockchain.

“Are the founders moving on?”
Absolutely not. The founding team is doubling down on their commitment. GODS Network reflects their continued investment in growing the ecosystem.

“How do $MPC holders benefit?”
Through increased usage of the blockchain, more staking opportunities, and growing demand for the token driven by GN activity.

Conclusion:

GODS Network isn’t a competing chain, it’s a powerful Web3 enabler built on Partisia Blockchain. It enhances adoption, security, and cross-chain interoperability while boosting the utility of the $MPC token. By helping developers access and subscribe to real-time blockchain data, it positions Partisia Blockchain at the heart of the decentralized future.
