Strategic Partnership Between Ankr and Polygon Pushes Web3 Development Forward

One of the top Web3 infrastructure providers in the world, Ankr, is delighted to announce its collaboration with the decentralized Ethereum scaling platform Polygon. This collaboration will make it easier for Web3 developers to build application-specific blockchains utilizing Polygon Supernets.

With the assistance of Polygon’s expert validator partners, developers may create decentralized validator sets using Polygon Supernets, which is powered by the Polygon Edge modular blockchain stack. Platform users can look forward to EVM-capable, interoperable, and high-performing supernets. These supernets will enable programmers to create their own decentralized network without having to manage the blockchain actively.

This is exciting because Polygon Supernets enable developers to rapidly set up a unique blockchain network where any decentralized application or smart contract built for Ethereum-compatible networks, regardless of the chosen programming language, may be deployed on a Polygon Supernet.

Parth Pathak, General Manager of Polygon Supernets, said, “Polygon couldn’t be more excited to partner with ANKR for providing world-class tooling for building dedicated blockchains. With Polygon Supernets, enterprises, gaming, and entertainment projects can rapidly power up their dedicated app-specific chains that are fine-tuned for best-in-class EVM performance. Polygon is bringing together the world’s leading Web3 providers (like ANKR) into a comprehensive ecosystem that will empower any team to build their own blockchain. Supernets will help bring the next billion users to Web3.”

Working Together towards Mass Adaption

The complexity of blockchain creation must be reduced while scalability and application-specific flexibility be offered if Web3 is to be widely adopted. Ankr and Polygon both strive to make Web3 development simpler, less expensive, and more user-friendly. Thanks to this collaboration, developers may now swiftly set up a unique, high-performance blockchain network with Polygon Supernets.

“To drive Web3 mass adoption, we must provide consumers with a better UX than Web2. Enhancing the UX is possible only by streamlining Web3 development, which is why we’re thrilled to partner with Polygon Supernets and provide developers with the necessary infrastructure to build efficiently. Together, Ankr App chain Infra and Polygon Supernets can supercharge high-quality Web3 games, financial products, and other decentralized applications,” said Kev Silk, Ankr App Chain Manager.

Ankr Secured Investment from Binance Labs

Ankr recently secured a strategic investment from Binance Labs to expand its Web3 infrastructure. The venture capital arm and accelerator of Binance is backing Ankr following its significant open source contributions to BNB Chain and its continued support for the ecosystem.

The protocol serves an average of over 7 billion blockchain requests per day across the 18 blockchains it hosts.

The Erigon upgrade, which lowered storage requirements and improved RPC request throughput, has been implemented by Ankr. This was in addition to upgrading the BNB chain and the network’s core infrastructure. The Archive Node and the most recent BNB Application Sidechain (BAS) scalability solution are two additional upgrades to the BNB network.

Furthermore, BNB token holders now have a variety of alternatives when deciding how to generate revenue with their assets in DeFi. Thanks to Ankr’s support for BNB Liquid Staking, users can look forward to combining methods such as staking, farming, lending, donating to vaults, and more, all at the same time.

Closing thoughts

Slow transaction rates and high gas fees are two of the main obstacles preventing the adoption of Web3, but Ankr will address these issues by enabling developers to build their own blockchains on Polygon Edge. With this solution in place, users will not have to worry about competition for storage or computing power, which will lead to long-term scalability.
