Aptos blockchain adds Ankr as an RPC Web3 infrastructure provider
Ankr currently provides RPC services to 19 blockchains

The renowned fast and reliable Web3 infrastructure provider, Ankr, announced its position as a pioneer RPC (Remote Procedure Calls) provider to the Aptos blockchain. The new partnership will allow developers to access the Aptos Testnet Community and enjoy premium RPCs. They can now call requests and receive information returns. They can get results from these actions by running Aptos full node.

The partnership will enable developers to build secure, scalable and upgradeable dApps on the Aptos blockchain. Aptos is the 19th blockchain to receive RPC services from Ankr. Several blockchains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polygon and Avalanche have partnered with Ankr to enjoy their infrastructural RPCs.

Commenting on the recent partnership with Aptos blockchain, Josh Neuroth, Product Manager at Ankr stated:

Ankr is excited to be an early adopter 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 that will undoubtedly attract more demand ahead of the long-awaited mainnet launch.

Earlier today, Aptos blockchain launched its long-awaited mainnet. The mainnet brings new technologies and scalability benefits to Web3. Ankr will add more documents, features and tools to help Web3 developers streamline building in the main web.

Aptos Testnet reportedly performs over 160,000 transactions per second (TPS). The feat probably came from Aptos’ latest upgrades like the Block-STM parallel execution engine. FTX, one of the leading investors in Aptos, has announced the upcoming launch of Aptos’ native $APT. The launch takes place on 19 October 2022 at 01:00 (UTC).

Benefits of partnership between Ankr and Aptos Blockchain

Ankr Network receives an average of 8 billion blockchain requests daily from over 50 networks. The platform provides time-tested and high-performance RPC node infrastructure that handles various forms of request workload. This will expand Aptos’ public RPC resources.

RPC implemented by Ankr on Aptos Testnet connects wallets, command line interface and dApps with Aptos blockchain. It acts as a router that forwards information in the chain between Aptos nodes, dApps and consumers. RPC allows users to perform tasks such as transactions, accessing wallet balances, retrieving ownership information, and so on. Ankr provides a geo-distributed and decentralized Aptos RPC that strengthens the Aptos blockchain. The RPC is composed of many independent blockchain nodes running worldwide for low latency and reliable connections. Building developers can make their first call by using Ankr’s RPC service. In addition to that, they can also use an endpoint to call the Aptos chain through standard EVM JSON RPC methods.
