Highlighting the significance of the partnership, Alexandre Dreyfus, the CEO of Chiliz, emphasized the importance of Ankr as the trusted Main RPC provider.
"Ensuring the best possible operation of the Chiliz Chain is a top priority for Chiliz. Collaborating with Ankr aligns with our commitment to creating a secure & innovative environment for developers to build cutting-edge solutions."
