Ankr will be one of the first RPC providers to Aptos Blockchain

October 17, 2022 – San Francisco, California

Ankr, one of the world’s leading Web 3.0 infrastructure providers, today announces that it has become one of the first RPC (remote procedure call) providers to Aptos, a secure and scalable layer one blockchain.

Developers can now access Aptos’ testnet community and premium RPCs, make query calls, and receive information that mirrors the results they would get by running an Aptos full node themselves.

The partnership will enable developers to build secure, scalable and upgradeable DApps on top of the Aptos blockchain.

Following this partnership, Ankr is now an RPC provider to 19 blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polygon and Avalanche. An RPC enables different applications to interact with the blockchain.

Josh Neuroth, product manager at Ankr, 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 which will undoubtedly attract more demand before the much anticipated mainnet launch.”

Once the Aptos network is live, Ankr will add support for it with more documents, features and tools to help Web 3.0 developers streamline the build.

Aptos is the highly anticipated network that will bring new technology and scalability benefits to Web 3.0. Developers building on Apto’s testnet have seen over 160,000 TPS (transactions per second), thanks to promising upgrades like their parallel execution engine, Block-STM.

The Ankr network serves an average of eight billion blockchain requests per day across more than 50 networks. It delivers time-tested and high-performance RPC node infrastructure to handle any request load, massively expanding Aptos’ public RPC resources.

Ankrs Aptos testnet RPC connects wallets, command line interfaces and DApps with Aptos blockchain.

It acts as a messenger or blockchain router that relays information in the chain between Aptos nodes, DApps and finally end users so that they can perform necessary tasks such as transactions, filling wallet balances, retrieving ownership information and more.

To strengthen the global Aptos network, Ankr offers a geo-distributed and decentralized Aptos RPC composed of many independent blockchain nodes running worldwide for low latency and reliable connections.

Developers can make their first call to Aptos using Ankr’s RPC service now. They can use the endpoint to call the Aptos chain using standard EVM JSON RPC methods.

About Aptos

Aptos is a secure and scalable layer one 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 one protocols.
