The Ankr team announced via a blog post on Thursday they have partnered with Storj to provide node snapshots as a service via the new Chainsnap platform. According to Ankr, the new service will drastically decrease the time and storage resources it takes to launch and sync blockchain nodes industry-wide for infrastructure providers, developers, and other web3 enterprises. The service is meant to decrease barriers to entry and promote decentralization by making it easier to set up and run nodes.
Chainsnap will greatly expedite blockchain node deployments as the new service at Chainsnap.io provides a variety of on-demand snapshots of blockchain data available for networks like Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Smart Chain.
