One of the fastest growing Web3 infrastructure providers, Ankr, is joining hands with Aptos, a safe and scalable Layer-1 blockchain. This strategic partnership will allow Ankr to become one of the first Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers to Aptos. The Web3 infrastructure race heats up as more providers compete with each other, which indicates a healthy decentralization of the Web3 ecosystem. People interact with open-source applications like MetaMask, Web3 games, the metaverse and DeFi protocols every day but don't often stop to think about what happens in the background for it all to work. If we think of Web3 as a burgeoning new city, node infrastructure providers are the underlying power grid that makes operations possible.
Ankr with its vision of building the future of decentralized Web3 infrastructure is poised to help several developers to make the best out of Aptos. Thanks to the new partnership, developers now have access to Aptos Testnet Community as well as premium RPCs. Consequently, they can make request calls and receive relevant information that reflects the result they could get by running Aptos full nodes on their own.
Aptos is entering the crypto and Web3 scene in a grand style. Thanks to its advanced programming language called Move, the blockchain offers a lot to developers and end-users. With the involvement of Ankr, developers will be able to build safe, scalable DApps that are also upgradable on the network. By partnering with Aptos, Ankr has just become a Remote Procedure Call provider for 19 distinct blockchains, including BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and Avalanche. An RPC, by the way, makes it possible for applications to interact efficiently with the blockchain.
Speaking about the partnership, Ankr's Head of Product, Josh Neuroth, said:
"Ankr is excited to be an early supporter of Aptos with an RPC that now makes it easy for all developers to start building on the ecosystem. This is just the beginning of Ankr's products for the blockchain that will doubtlessly attract more demand ahead of the much-anticipated mainnet launch".
According to the official announcement shared by Ankr, a top-notch Web3 infrastructure provider and operator of blockchain nodes APIs, it has added Aptos endpoints to its services stack. As such, all developers can experiment with the Aptos Testnet Community and Premium RPCs to create scalable, fast and resource-efficient decentralized applications. To advance the level of decentralization for Aptos, Ankr will run a geo-distributed and decentralized Aptos RPC starting from October 2022.
Aptos is going to bring new tech and scalability benefits to Web3. Already, developers building on the network have experienced well over 160,000 transactions per second (TPS), which is incredible. Its parallel execution engine, Block-STM, is one of the key reasons for this. By expanding Aptos' public RPC resources, Ankr will definitely help to make the blockchain better in many ways. It is already known for its time-tested and high-performance RPC node infrastructure that can handle any request load. Also, it currently serves about 8 billion blockchain requests daily over 50 networks.
Ankr's Aptos Testnet RPC (Remote Procedure Call) connects wallets, command-line interfaces, and dApps with the Aptos blockchain. It acts as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between Aptos nodes, dApps, and ultimately end-users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populate wallet balances, fetch ownership information, and more. Once the Aptos mainnet goes live, the Ankr team is going to release a full stack of documentation for developers on its docs portal to make dApps onboarding more streamlined for Web3 enthusiasts.
In July 2022, Aptos made headlines with its unmatched $150 million funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, FTX Ventures, Paypal Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Binance Labs and other VC heavyweights. The blockchain leverages its own advanced programming language dubbed Move; in a series of stress tests, Aptos reached 160,000 transactions per second of bandwidth.
Developers can make their first call to Aptos using Ankr's RPC Service now. They can use the endpoint https://rpc.ankr.com/http/aptos_testnet/v1 to call the Aptos chain using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods.
Aptos is a safe and scalable Layer-1 blockchain founded by Meta alumni. It is backed by a16z, FTX Ventures, Paypal Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Binance Labs and other leading investors. With its mainnet launch on the horizon, Aptos promises to be a faster, more scalable and more secure blockchain than its existing competitors, thanks to its advanced programming language called Move. The Move language and resource model solves many performance and security issues found in most other Layer-1 protocols.
Ankr is building the future of decentralized Web3 infrastructure, servicing over 50 proof-of-stake chains with an industry-leading global node delivery system and RPC aggregator. Ankr currently serves over 2 trillion transactions a year across Web3 and is the leading infrastructure provider for BSC, Fantom, and Polygon chains as of 2022. Ankr also offers a suite of developer tools, including the Liquid Staking SDK, Web3 Gaming SDK, and AppChains As a Service, that empower dApp developers to build Web3 apps quickly and easily.
