One of the World’s leading Web3 infrastructure providers, Ankr, has announced a strategic partnership with Aptos, a safe and scalable Layer-1 blockchain. The partnership will see Ankr become one of the first Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers to Aptos.
In line with its vision of building the future of decentralized Web3 infrastructure, Ankr 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. o
Opening Up the Aptos Blockchain
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 an RPC 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”.
Helping Web3 Developers to Streamline Building
As hinted earlier, Ankr’s partnership with Aptos will see developers build faster and more efficiently. Once the Aptos network goes live, Ankr will add a good number of supportive tools, features, and docs to help developers streamline their processes and achieve more in less time.
From what we know already, 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
The primary role of Ankr’s Aptos Testnet RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is to relay on-chain information between Aptos nodes, DApps, and end-users. It acts as a blockchain router or what most people will regard as a messenger, connecting DApps, wallets, and command-line interfaces to the Aptos blockchain.
Ankr’s RPC will help Aptos to run smoothly even when the network goes live. By relaying the necessary information, it will enable users to execute transactions efficiently, among other tasks.
Ankr has also taken key steps to ensure that the Aptos network is strengthened globally. It is providing a geo-distributed, and decentralized RPC made up of several distinct blockchain nodes. The worldwide network of nodes guarantees low latency and reliable connections.
Wrapping Up
Thanks to the new Ankr-Aptos partnership, it is easier for developers to get started with the Layer-1 blockchain founded by the team behind the Facebook Diem project. Developers can get in immediately by using Ankr’s RPC Service. Using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods, they can also call the Aptos chain using the Endpoint.
