Ankr ANKR
Blockchain access and node services.
Ankr provides tools that help applications connect to blockchains. ANKR supports participation in its node-service network.
What is Ankr?
Applications use Ankr services to request blockchain data and submit transactions through network nodes. ANKR can be staked to back participating node providers. This is different from staking a blockchain’s native coin to validate its consensus.
Service demand does not guarantee token value or rewards. Node performance, contract failures, and withdrawal rules can affect staking positions.
