One of the world’s fastest growing Web3 infrastructure providers, Ankr has become Optimism’s RPC (Remote Procedure Call) provider, an ultra-fast, low-cost Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain. I announced that. Following this partnership, Ankr is now an RPC provider to 17 blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, and Avalanche. RPC allows a variety of applications to interact with the blockchain.
Ankr as an additional optimistic RPC provider
The Ankr Protocol processes an average of 6 billion blockchain requests per day on over 50 networks. Ankr provides a proven, high-performance RPC node infrastructure for handling request loads, significantly expanding Optimism’s public RPC resources.
Matthew Slipper, Head of Engineering at OP Labs, said:
“We feel that apps and integration are in line with our values and culture, and we value the tools and technology options available, so we choose to incorporate them into our optimistic ecosystem. We are pleased to offer Ankr as an additional Optimism RPC provider in response to your request. “
Optimism brings scalability to Ethereum with optimistic rollups. By sending transaction data to Ethereum while performing off-chain transaction processing, Optimism can significantly reduce charges and increase throughput while inheriting Ethereum’s security properties. Optimism has saved users more than $ 1 billion in gas charges since its inception.
Greg Gopman, Chief Marketing Officer of Ankr, said:
“We love what Optimism is building for the future of Ethereum. Ankr is pleased to play our role in providing users with fast and reliable RPC services. . “
This partnership is also a huge boost for dApp developers looking for additional Optimism RPC endpoints. Developers can access Optimism Public and Premium RPC, make request calls, and query on-chain information that reflects the results of running a self-hosted Optimism full node.
To strengthen its global optimism network, Ankr is a geo-distributed decentralized optimism RPC consisting of many independent blockchain nodes running around the world for low latency and reliable connectivity. Is provided. Ankr encourages an independent enterprise Optimism node operator to add a node to the load balancer in exchange for an ANKR token.
Optimism is the leading open source Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution. Its optimistic rollup network is designed to take advantage of Ethereum’s strong security guarantees while allowing apps to achieve faster and cheaper transactions. Optimism has saved users more than $ 1 billion in gas charges since its inception. Over $ 800 million in total locked across apps such as Synthetix, Uniswap, Perpetual Protocol, Curve, and Aave.
Ankr It enables blockchain companies to run blockchain faster and provide users with the best Web3 experience. Launched in 2021, the Ankr protocol handles 200 billion RPC requests per month on 50 blockchain networks. In 2022, Ankr added the Web3 gaming SDK, multi-chain liquid staking tools, and App Chains to its developer product suite.
