what's Ankr Network?

Ankr Network is a decentralized Web3 infrastructure platform that provides scalable blockchain node services, enabling developers and projects to access reliable RPC endpoints, staking solutions, and multi-chain support without managing their own nodes. It operates as a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) project, aggregating node resources across over 85 blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and emerging L1s like Kaia and Arichain. Key features include Liquid Staking for assets like ETH (via ankrETH), Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS) for custom chain deployments, and tools like the Ankr Protocol for pay-as-you-go API access, fostering interoperability and efficiency in the blockchain ecosystem. The ANKR token serves as the native utility token, used for governance, staking rewards, and paying for infrastructure services within the network. Ankr emphasizes security and decentralization by partnering with validators and protocols like EigenLayer for restaking, and it supports initiatives such as hackathons and AVS (Actively Validated Services) launches to drive adoption. By powering projects like Story Protocol for on-chain IP and Neura for AI-DeFi integration, Ankr positions itself as a foundational layer for builders, ensuring high uptime and low-latency access to blockchain data and execution.
