The Ankr team announced via a blog post on Wednesday that it is now offering Filecoin-hosted nodes as a service. This latest development allows Web3 apps and developers to easily communicate with the Filecoin storage network following the launch of the EVM-compatible Filecoin Virtual Machine. Developers can now access Filecoin Public, Premium, and Enterprise RPC endpoints, make API requests and receive responses that are identical to the results they would get by running a Filecoin node themselves, the Ankr team added. 

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. ANKR is trading at $0.03410, down by more than 7% in the last 24 hours. 

Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that serves as an incentivization layer on top of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). FIL is down by more than 18% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $5.726.
