Ankr Network (ANKR)

Ankr is best known for its RPC and API services, which allow decentralised applications, wallets, exchanges, and analytics platforms to communicate with blockchains. Reliable RPC access is a critical part of Web3 infrastructure because it connects user-facing applications to the underlying networks. Ankr supports a range of major blockchains and positions itself as a multi-chain provider rather than a service tied to a single ecosystem.

The project also offers staking-related products through Ankr Earn, including liquid staking services that let users stake supported assets while receiving tokenised representations that can be used elsewhere in DeFi. In addition, Ankr provides enterprise and developer solutions for teams that need customised blockchain infrastructure, app chains, or dedicated node services.

Ankr’s role in the crypto market is closer to cloud infrastructure than to a consumer application. It serves the builders and protocols that need scalable, distributed access to blockchain networks. As Web3 activity grows across decentralised finance, gaming, NFTs, and enterprise blockchain deployments, projects such as Ankr aim to supply the underlying connectivity and node infrastructure required to keep those applications running.
