Ankr, one of the world’s leading providers of Web 3.0 infrastructure, is excited to announce that it has partnered with decentralized Ethereum scaling platform Polygon to improve the building experience for Web 3.0 developers looking to create application-specific blockchains with Polygon Supernets.

Powered by the Polygon Edge modular blockchain stack, Supernets are EVM compatible, interoperable, highly performant and customizable. It gives developers the ability to have a custom decentralized network without the hassle of maintaining blockchain infrastructure. Supernett helps developers start up decentralized validation sets quickly with Polygon’s professional validation partners.

Ankr’s App Chains is the approved infrastructure provider for Polygon Supernets. It offers an end-to-end engineering solution that combines the best of security, throughput and customizability. App chains enable Web 3.0 developers to easily build custom blockchains that are uniquely tailored to their application. Further enhancing the build experience for developers are the premium tools and services offered by Supernets.

Kev Silk, CEO of Ankr App Chain, said:

“To drive mass adoption of Web 3.0, we need to provide consumers with a better user experience than Web 2.0. Improving the user experience is only possible by streamlining Web 3.0 development, which is why we are excited to partner with Polygon Supernets and provide developers the necessary infrastructure to build efficiently.

“Together, Ankr App Chain infra and Polygon Supernet can supercharge high-quality Web 3.0 games, financial products and other decentralized applications.”

Both Ankr and Polygon aim to make it faster, cheaper and easier to build on Web 3.0. To bring Web 3.0 to the masses, it is critical to remove the complexity of blockchain development while ensuring scalability and app-specific customization. Polygon Supernetts enable developers to quickly set up a custom, high-performance blockchain network.

Any smart contract or DApp written for Ethereum compatible networks – either in Solidity, Vyper or other languages – can be distributed to a polygon supermesh. With Ankr’s App Chains, developers will have the freedom to choose the programming languages, consensus mechanisms and development frameworks they want to use.

Parth Pathak, Managing Director of Polygon Supernets, said:

“Polygon couldn’t be more excited to partner with Ankr to provide world-class tools for building dedicated blockchains. With Polygon Supernets, businesses, gaming and entertainment projects can quickly power up their dedicated app-specific chains that are fine-tuned for best-in-class EVM performance.”

“Polygon brings together the world’s leading Web 3.0 providers (like ANKR) into a comprehensive ecosystem that will empower any team to build their own blockchain. Supernett will help bring the next billion users to Web 3.0.”

Web 3.0 developers can build supernets to run a specific application, project, or use case while being secured by the Polygon protocol, maintained by certified partners, and receiving additional upgrades from the Polygon Edge architecture. The supernets are compatible with each other and the Ethereum blockchain by default.

By enabling developers to build their own blockchains on Polygon Edge, Ankr will help solve two of the biggest challenges holding back Web 3.0 adoption – low transaction speed and high gas fees. With a custom blockchain for each DApp, there is no competition for storage or computation, and scalability is allowed to thrive.
