What Is Ankr (ANKR)?

Ankr is a decentralized blockchain infrastructure provider that operates an array of nodes globally distributed across over 50 Proof-of-Stake networks. This infrastructure helps drive the growth of the crypto economy while powering a full suite of multi-chain tools for Web3 users:

Ankr Build

Ankr provides comprehensive blockchain developer solutions, including traditional APIs, a decentralized multi-chain network of public RPC nodes used to access blockchain data and execute code, and tools like Ankr Scan to view on-chain information across blockchains.  

Ankr Earn

Ankr Earn makes staking, liquid staking, and other yield-earning opportunities easy and accessible to any crypto investor. Ankr creates the most scalable and decentralized staking infrastructure solution that aims to solve the capital inefficiency of Proof-of-Stake networks and similar blockchain consensus mechanisms. 

Ankr Learn

Through Ankr’s learning tools, tutorials, and docs, anyone can become a better user or developer of blockchain-based systems. 

Who Are the Founders of Ankr?

Co-founders Chandler Song and Ryan Fang (Forbes 30 Under 30 laureates) founded Ankr in 2017 shortly after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley after being early participants in the Blockchain at Berkeley program. Chandler was working as an engineer at Amazon Web Services at the time where he met Stanley Wu, the third co-founder. Together, they took on a mission to build the most decentralized and scalable Web3 infrastructure possible. 

What Makes Ankr Unique?

Ankr is uniquely positioned as a node infrastructure and decentralized web services provider that allows DApps and blockchains to run and communicate with each other seamlessly while allowing users to earn more with their assets by delegating them easily to validator nodes. This is in contrast to centralized solutions like AWS Blockchain and many others.

What Is the ANKR Token?

ANKR is the native utility token needed for transactions and payments for many of Ankr’s services as well as platform governance. ANKR has capabilities as an ERC-20, BEP-2, and BEP-20 token, and it is also available on the Polygon, Avalanche, and Fantom networks.

The ANKR token will play a core function in enabling institutional and independent node providers to monetize their nodes' excess capacity and allow node consumers to benefit from a pay-as-you-go model, disrupting traditional blockchain API providers forcing users into paid plans requiring oversubscription.

How Is Ankr Secured?

Ankr utilizes auditor nodes in the block validation process on all supported blockchains to ensure that network quality is maintained and that any bad actors or poorly performing nodes are immediately removed from the system.

In order to ensure total security with only good nodes in operation, Ankr employs a reputation-based system that evaluates all node contributions. Ankr also uses performance testing to fairly distribute and balance computational resources based on node workloads as well as Intel SGX memory encryption to maintain the highest levels of security against any potential hardware or software attacks.

When it comes to off-chain data processing, the Native Oracle System, or NOS for short, relays information between on-chain smart contracts and off-chain data. The NOS is extremely secure with strong authentication requirements. The Data Source Security itself is handled through TLS 1.2,1.3 and Perfect Forward Security, or PFS.
