PINKNODE (@official_pnode) — Twitter Score 8 out of 1000

PINKNODE is a defunct node-as-a-service infrastructure project that specialized in Polkadot network infrastructure before ceasing operations on February 14, 2023. PINKNODE's Twitter Score is 7.8 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #126,137 among 531,432 tracked accounts.

PINKNODE was founded by Eric Poh and Benjamin Lau to remove node-management complexity for developers building on Polkadot networks. The project ran on a microservice architecture using Kubernetes and offered a node-as-a-service model that abstracted away the operational burden of running infrastructure. Its native utility token, $PNODE, was used for staking and accessing services on the platform.

PINKNODE raised a private round of US$700,000 in funding after attracting US$31 million in initial interest, making the round 44-times oversubscribed. Eric Wang of Parity Technologies participated in that round as an investor. A token sale on Polkastarter closed on May 14, 2021. In October 2021, Polkadot Council Motion 119 passed, allocating funding to PINKNODE to build an improved infrastructure-management dashboard.

PINKNODE was backed by Astronaut Capital, Moonrock Capital, Petrock Capital, Momentum 6, X21 Digital, Signum Capital, AU21 Capital, Faculty Capital, Digital Strategies, White Palm Ventures, and Das Kapital. PINKNODE has published 582 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 35 accounts a total of 74 times.
