On Tuesday, the Ankr team announced via a blog post that it has partnered with Lucid Labs to bring Nebula, Lucid's chain-owned liquidity infrastructure, to Ankr's Scaling Solutions clients. Any project that builds a chain with Ankr can now launch and whitelist stablecoins on Nebula, turning them into yield-bearing assets that generate recurring revenue for the chain itself.
Nebula is Lucid's native yield layer for stablecoin liquidity, enabling ecosystems to transform idle USDC and USDT into revenue-generating, chain-owned liquidity. Nebula's stablecoins, L-USDC and L-USDT, are the first bridge-agnostic, natively yield-generating versions of USDC and USDT designed for cross-chain ecosystems.
When a user bridges in, USDC travels to the lock chain, collateral gets registered, and L-USDC is minted on the destination chain in one flow. Redemption works in reverse. Yield is calculated monthly based on how long L-stables remained on each chain, and payouts are sent directly to a foundation-provided wallet. Foundations do not need to run any infrastructure.
Stables deployed with Nebula are fully composable with DeFi. DEXs, lending markets, and protocols can whitelist and integrate L-stables, creating a unified liquidity anchor for the entire ecosystem. Users earn yield while putting their stablecoins to work.
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 $0.004925, up 2.6% in the last 24 hours.
