Aptos Blockchain is nearing launch with the Ankr RPC collaboration

The buzz around Aptos is picking up, and the new partnership they launched with Ankr adds to that.

Ankr, which already provides its RPC services to all major blockchains such as Ethereum, BNB, Solana and others, has become one of the first RPC (Remote Procedure Call) providers to Aptos, and developers can now access the Aptos Testnet Community and Premium RPCs. request calls and receive information returns that reflect the results they would get running an Aptos full node alone.

The partnership will enable developers to build dApps on top of the Aptos blockchain that are secure, scalable and updatable.

Aptos Testnet RPC (Remote Procedure Call) from Ankr connects wallets, command line interfaces and decentralized applications (dApps) to the Aptos blockchain. It acts as a messenger or blockchain router that sends information on-chain between Aptos nodes, dApps and ultimately end users so they can do things like make transactions, update wallet balances, find out who owns something and more.

Ankr offers a geo-distributed and decentralized Aptos RPC consisting of many independent blockchain nodes running worldwide for low latency and reliable connections. This is intended to strengthen the global Aptos network.

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.

RPCs can be thought of as relays that allow developers to call and run instructions from one computer on a network to another without the need for any additional steps. With Ankr Public RPC, developers can send requests to the blockchain by calling a group of nodes. They can also add the endpoint to MetaMask with a single click.

Once the Aptos network is up and running, Ankr will support it with more documentation, features and tools to help Web3 developers build faster.

What is Aptos?

Aptos was founded by Mo Shaikh (CEO) and Avery Ching (CTO). The two first worked together at Meta (formerly Facebook), specifically on the Diem blockchain and Novi wallet projects.

The programming language Move is the most important part of Diem that was brought to Aptos. This language was first created at Meta to make Diem more secure and able to grow. This is now happening for Aptos.

The best way to understand Move’s benefits is to look at how it uses its resources. Simply put, resources are a secure way for a system to store important information. Resources have high status in the code architecture, making it impossible to accidentally copy or delete them.

Move stores important data as resources, such as tokens and smart contracts. This makes the language much safer than other blockchain programming languages. Move is used to implement all the important parts of Aptos, such as accounts, transaction fees, a standard library, validator node management and configuration.

Aptos is a much-anticipated network that aims to improve Web3 with new technical improvements such as their parallel execution engine, Block-STM. Developers working on Apto’s testnet have seen more than 160,000 transactions per second (TPS).

Parallel processing makes higher TPS achievable without 1) relying on high-performance computing 2) mathematically driven solutions such as zero-knowledge proof Sequential processing means that a blockchain processes one transaction after another in a logical order.

Aptos has received funding and partnerships from VCs and some of the biggest crypto firms. It is backed by a16z, FTX Ventures, Paypal Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Binance Labs and other leading investors. Aptos has now raised $350 million so far this year. By comparison, Solana raised (only) $25 million before launch.

Aptos Tokenomics is not public yet.

What is Ankr?

With a plug-and-play public RPC and the ability to use premium features by staking ANKR tokens, the Ankr protocol makes it very easy and fast to build new DApps. All this means that it will be faster and easier to build and launch products for Web 3.0.

Ankr RPC acts as a messenger or blockchain router that forwards information on the chain between Aptos nodes, dApps and end users.

Ankr builds the future for decentralized Web3 infrastructure. It serves more than 50 proof-of-stake chains with an industry-leading global node delivery system and RPC aggregator. From 2022, Ankr will be the leading infrastructure provider for BSC, Fantom and Polygon chains. It already handles more than 2 trillion transactions a year across the Web3. Ankr also provides developers with a set of tools, such as Liquid Staking SDK, Web3 Gaming SDK and AppChains As a Service, that make it easy and fast to build Web3 apps.

The Ankr network handles an average of 8 billion blockchain requests from more than 50 different networks every day. It provides Aptos high-performance RPC node infrastructure that has been used for a long time and can handle any request load. This greatly increases Aptos’ public RPC resources.
