On Friday, the Ankr team announced via X that it is now a Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) on LayerZero.
Ankr is overhauling its security by introducing SOC 2 Type II + Zero Trust access, CrowdStrike Falcon, KMS-backed keys; Safe Multi-Sig admin, Independent infra, and a 99.99% uptime SLA.
Ankr is one of the most important infrastructure providers and facilitators of the crypto space, long trusted by industry giants like Microsoft, Binance, Tencent, Polygon, Optimism, and Avalanche for high-performance node operations and engineering services.
Ankr’s global network of nodes spans over 75 blockchains, enabling them to offer a range of development services that leverage this infrastructure, including their Web3 API/RPC platform, staking services, blockchain creation service, and more.
In short, Ankr keeps Web3 running by ensuring that all dApps, developers, projects, and users have reliable, high-speed access to on-chain data, which is a prerequisite for interacting with smart contracts or performing any Web3 task.
Ankr Network is building a full-stack cloud infrastructure and marketplace for container-based cloud services. Users can now stake FTM tokens on Ankr to earn ANKR tokens.
As a project in the Web3 space, Ankr is unique in that it has established its own global fiber network and blockchain-native load balancer to run bare-metal nodes across various blockchains. This means Ankr’s network isn’t reliant on centralized cloud services that are prone to outages and censorship, offering a much more decentralized, distributed, and resilient foundation for Web3 operations. As a token, ANKR is unique in that it maintains utility as a DePIN token for Ankr infrastructure while simultaneously claiming status as the native gas and rewards token of a key Ankr ecosystem blockchain.
ANKR is trading at $0.004895, up 2.1% in the last 24 hours.
