Technology & Use Case
Ankr offers fast, low‑cost blockchain infrastructure by running thousands of distributed nodes across the globe. This powers tools like RPC services (Remote Procedure Call), which enable programs to request services from other programs. This helps developers make use of blockchain services without building and managing their own infrastructure.
Origins & Team
Founded in 2017 by Chandler Song, Ryan Fang, and Stanley Wu, Ankr initially aimed to repurpose idle computing power. The mainnet launched in July 2019, followed by its first node hosting service for BNB Smart Chain in December.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
ANKR plays a central role in the network—used in staking, governance, and as payment for services. Ankr has partnered with platforms like Polygon for RPC services, and continues to expand via tools such as identity solutions like Ankr Verify.
