On Thursday, the Ankr team announced via a blog post that it has launched Kite Chain RPCs on its Web3 API service. Kite is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed to power the agentic economy, giving autonomous AI agents native infrastructure for identity, payments, governance, and verification.
With Ankr's Kite RPCs, developers can make request calls and receive responses identical to running their own Kite node, without managing any infrastructure. This gives builders reliable, low-latency access to Kite's network for powering AI agent applications, stablecoin transactions, and machine-native payment systems.
Ankr's Kite RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect wallets, developer tools, and decentralized apps directly to Kite nodes. These RPC endpoints act as the communication layer between your application and the Kite network, enabling developers to:
-
Send and simulate transactions
-
Read smart contract state and blockchain data
-
Fetch agent identity records and asset ownership information
-
Power AI agent applications, stablecoin platforms, and agentic payment infrastructure
Kite Chain RPC endpoints let developers interact with the network without deploying or maintaining their own nodes. Ankr provides a geo-distributed Kite RPC setup, with nodes running globally to ensure low latency and reliable connections wherever your agents operate.
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 $0.005070, down 0.3% in the last 24 hours.
