Ankr will continue to work hard to create tools to make it easier for users and developers to benefit from the Web3 ecosystem

Original source: Ankr

2022 is a pivotal year for blockchain, and in many ways for Ankr as well. Over the past year, Ankr has focused on building, releasing, and iterating products that dramatically improve developers' ability to successfully build for Web3. These new experiences, applications and networks mature the technology and lay the groundwork for the next market cycle.

RPC business is at the forefront of the industry

In order to further pass Decentralized innovative technologies and tools to empower the Web3 ecosystem, Ankr has strategically partnered with protocols, platforms and blockchains. We are especially proud to be one of the first suppliers to Sui, Aptos and Optimism, addressing the growing demand for RPC endpoints.

In 2022, Ankr's new RPC services include:

· IoTeX RPC

· Syscoin RPC

· Harmony RPC

· Optimism RPC

· Aptos RPC

· Gnosis RPC

· Klaytn RPC

· Sui RPC

· Optimism RPC

· …

In addition , in order to provide builders with a better way of Web3 development, we have introduced a Pay-as-you-go model for the Ankr Premium RPC service. The PAYG program enables developers to use services more flexibly and efficiently, replacing the previous model where all users pay the same annual fee.

In 2022, Ankr RPC business is at the forefront of the industry. Among them, the RPC request service has grown by 2,000%, supports 23 blockchains (the most in the industry), serves more than 40,000 developers, covers nodes in more than 30 global regions, and sets the standard for RPC/API connections of different chains.

Add Bare Metal Servers to Extend Web3 Infrastructure

Web3 infrastructure, L1 and L2 integration, and dApp development have come a long way in just a few years, and in 2022 Ankr leads the global decentralization process. Ankr’s partnership with bare metal provider Maxihost enables a more distributed global network of nodes and opens up new avenues for monetizing existing idle server capacity through the Ankr protocol.

Maxihost's global platform combined with Ankr's 250 billion requests per month across 50 blockchain networks means We can continue to expand the distributed global network, improve communication latency between nodes, and meet the growing demand for nodes.

Building the Future of Sports Blockchain

Blocks Chain and sports have been a winning combination, with pioneers like Chilliz providing new avenues for teams to engage and interact with their fans. Chilliz's partnership with Ankr will lead the development of Chiliz Chain 2.0 (CC2), a new Layer1 blockchain that will enable sports and entertainment brands to build in a digital paradigm.

Release Game SDK

In 2022, Ankr will be released successfully The game SDK provides game developers with a full set of resources, including first-class Web3 infrastructure, NFT, market and multi-chain wallet integration, etc. After receiving positive feedback after its release, the Ankr Gaming SDK is taking it to the next level again with the Second Gaming SDK on the popular Unity and Unreal engines, helping developers integrate their games with multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum , BNB Chain, Polygon, Fantom, Avalanche, etc.

We are honored that Meta Apes, one of the most anticipated Web3 games in 2022, has chosen Ankr Game SDK and AppChain-as- a-Service. Meta Apes is the first game released using the Binance Application Sidechain (BAS) architecture. Based on the famous mobile strategy game Age of Apes, it combines the gameplay that players like with the Web3 that encrypted users expect. With complete Web3 functions, scalable Sex and excellent game mechanics.

Creating a new environment for decentralized development

For To meet the growing demand for Web3 projects and dApp scaling solutions, Ankr has launched products with greater flexibility and autonomy for developers.

· AppChains, an end-to-end solution. AppChains is the creation of application-specific chains on the ecosystem for building highly customizable blockchains with higher performance, availability and interoperability. One of the highlights of the AppChain offering was the launch of the first Binance Smart Chain Application Sidechain (BAS) testnet with Celer and NodeReal, and Ankr is proud to support the BNB ecosystem as an infrastructure partner.

· Chainscanner, an application-specific blockchain ( AppChains' all-in-one block explorer and crypto analytics platform.

· Ankr Advanced API. The purpose of creating a collection of RPC methods is to simplify querying all types of blockchain data. With Ankr's advanced API service, the blockchain data developers need can be retrieved more easily, quickly and at low cost.

· Assist in upgrading the Erigon client. The Erigon upgrade focuses on reducing the storage requirements of the BNB Chain, helping to create a more efficient system. Ankr has completed the Erigon client performance upgrade in collaboration, and has also witnessed the amazing development of BNB Chain in the past year, especially popular among Web3 game and dApp users.

Became the default infrastructure provider for the Ethers.js library

Ethereum remains the gold standard for dApp development, and its Ethers.js library is a complete library for interacting with Ethereum and its ecosystem. Becoming the default infrastructure provider for the Ethers.js library is a credit to Ankr's ability to provide developers with a secure, powerful and simple resource.

Committed to bridging CeFi and DeFi

2022, Ankr joined the Start Path Crypto, Mastercard program. The innovative cooperation between traditional enterprises and Web3, continuous product and service innovation, and continuous optimization of financial services will bring users richer products and experiences, experience the benefits of Crypto and Web3 financial models, and effectively promote the development of the encrypted world from speculative investment For the course of global finance.

Opening a new era of Liquid Staking

2022 is Liquid The year staking became the dominant trend in DeFi, with over $11 billion in funds deployed through the Liquid Staking protocol. Ankr has been at the forefront of Liquid Staking development, having developed and supported Liquid Staking products on seven different L1s.

Over the past year, Ankr achieved a TVL (total value locked) of $144.9 million and an average Annualized interest rate, becoming the #1 liquidity staking provider.

Although this year’s attack led to the exploitation of aBNB Token, we can learn from this incident Grow a lot and realize quick action and damage control. After the attack, the team patched the vulnerability within a few hours and deployed an initial recovery fund of $15 million to compensate liquidity providers, lenders, and DeFi protocol users affected by the aBNBc vulnerability. amount of compensation.

Enhance the practicality of ANKR Token

ANKR is the whole The glue that holds the Ankr ecosystem together has seen another massive boost in popularity with its listing on Kraken. Currently, users can find ANKR on platforms such as Binance, Coinmarketcap, Bithumb, Bittrex, Kucoin, and Kraken.

The launch of Ankr Network 2.0 introduces the mortgage of independently running full nodes, contributors and partners in the ecosystem to developers Get rewarded for providing services, and jointly promote the development of Web3. Anyone can earn ANKR rewards and become "Ankr Bankr" by staking on the Ankr decentralized network and running an independent full node.

Innovating for the Growing Web3 Ecosystem in 2023

Web3 is on the verge of revolutionizing the way people connect, transact, game and communicate. We are in the builders' market, trying to close the last technology gap between Web3 and mass adoption. Focus on building for developers, innovating while maintaining the fundamental value of decentralization.

In 2023, Ankr will continue to work hard to create tools to make it easier for users and developers to benefit from the Web3 ecosystem. Ankr is working hard to ensure that the infrastructure for the next cycle is:

· Fast global connection

· Innovative tools to comprehensively improve the user experience of dApp

· Scaling a solution powerful enough for global adoption

· Improve node infrastructure for all supported chains

Thank you for being with us all the way in 2022, and we look forward to working with you in 2023!
