Ankr becomes the first RPC provider to Aptos Blockchain

Ankr has added another achievement to its already diverse profile by becoming one of the first RPC providers to Aptos Blockchain. It is the world’s leading Web3 infrastructure provider, serving over fifty proof-of-stake chains and boasting the industry’s best RPC aggregator and global node delivery system.

What is an RPC?

For your information, a remote procedure call or RPC encourages increased interaction between applications over a blockchain. The partnership between Aptos Blockchain and Ankr will allow developers to create scalable, secure and upgradable dApps.

Why did Ankr team up with Aptos?

In its press release, Ankr noted that it was “thrilled” to become an early adopter of Aptos because it will make it easier for developers to start creating apps on the ecosystem with an RPC.

The company explained that Aptos is a “secure and scalable Layer-1 blockchain, developers can now access the Aptos Testnet Community and Premium RPCs, make request calls and receive information returns that reflect the results they would get by running an Aptos full node themselves. .”

What services will Ankr offer to Aptos?

Ankrs Aptos testnet RC will connect command line interfaces, wallets and dApps with the Aptos Blockchain and serve as a blockchain router/messenger for on-chain information forwarding between Aptos nodes, dApps and end users. This will help them perform routine tasks like filling wallet balances and transactions and obtaining ownership data much faster. Ankr will offer a geo-distributed and decentralized Aptos RPC to strengthen the global Aptos network. This will include multiple independent blockchain nodes running worldwide to ensure reliable connectivity and low latency.

Following this partnership, Ankr has become an RPC provider to nineteen blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon and Avalanche.

A new beginning….

Ankr’s product manager Josh Neuroth wrote that this is just the beginning, and Ankr is sure to attract more demand after the long-awaited “mainnet launch.” after the mainnet goes live, the company will begin adding documents, tools, and features to help Web3 developers streamline app building. Undoubtedly, this partnership is crucial for Ankr as Aptos is quickly becoming a sought-after network that aims to bring progress and scalability to Web3. Apps created in the test network recorded more than 160,000 transactions per second (TPS) due to efficient upgrades such as Block-STM and parallel execution engine.
