A media network without gatekeepers.

A decentralized network on Base where bandwidth providers earn PKT — and the apps built on it are owned by the people running them.

The thesis.

The internet’s media layer was supposed to be open. It isn’t. Packet rebuilds it from the bandwidth up: anyone with spare capacity can run a node, earn PKT on the Base blockchain, and route media — apps, channels, content, domains — to the rest of the network.

The result is a media stack where the underlying infrastructure isn’t controlled by three companies, and the apps on top can pay their hosts directly.
