At the core of the ANKR token is utility

Ankr 2.0 is a decentralized ecosystem. Independent node operators collaborate with Ankr nodes. Contributors and partners in the ecosystem receive rewards for providing services to developers, thereby jointly promoting the development of Web3.The first step to realize Ankr's vision is to introduce a market mechanism and build a truly decentralized Web3 protocol. The practical value of Token to network participants must be higher than the value of financial holders.

Ankr 2.0 is an innovative staking method that independently runs full nodes (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, etc.), supports decentralization, and provides incentives for a wider range of users.

ANKR token staking is similar to securing a PoS network through staking. ANKR pledge is not entrusting ANKR to the verification node, but is introduced to the full node for the first time. Now, anyone can earn ANKR rewards and become "Ankr Bankr" by staking on the Ankr decentralized network and running an independent full node.

The important role of the ANKR token in the Ankr network

Essentially, Ankr supports all major PoS blockchains as a network, running a huge node network on the development layer (full nodes) and consensus layer (validator nodes).

In terms of technology, Ankr's full nodes provide nearly 7 billion blockchain data request services every day. These requests come from various dApps such as developers, DeFi networks, crypto games, etc. The traffic pouring into the Ankr network is increasing every week. In order to improve services and decentralize the network, Ankr encourages more independent node providers to join and receive ANKR token rewards.

In the new decentralized Ankr Network, the ANKR token plays a central role in all aspects:
Developers need to pay ANKR to access data on the chain (RPC request);
Ankr running nodes and independent node providers (coming soon) will receive ANKR rewards for on-chain request services;

Ankr Network creates a decentralized infrastructure platform with a tight community of developers, node providers and holders. Staking is critical to keeping the network running smoothly, ensuring that independent node providers continue to provide services within the standard range, and ultimately ensuring that developers get fast and reliable RPC requests.

Benefits of staking ANKRInnovative staking experience
——For the first time, Token is pledged to the full node instead of the verifier node, and the service is transferred from the consensus layer to the development layer.Help Web3 development and get ANKR rewards
- Stakers help node providers run on the Ankr network to provide on-chain services to Web3 developers and dApps depending on their blockchain access.Facilitating Web3 Integration and Adoption
- Become part of a network that provides developers with faster and more reliable blockchain connections, increasing the efficiency of their dApps.- Stakers can participate in Ankr DAO and make key decisions that affect the future of the network.

Staking Tutorial

Start time: from August 11th

log inAnkr Stakingofficial websitehttps://www.ankr.com/staking/stake/official website

, select ANKR in "Delegate Staking".

step 2

Click "Stake" --> "Grant Access" --> link wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Trust Wallet, etc.), and confirm Ankr Staking access when prompted.

step 3

The ANKR balance of the wallet can be checked through "Buy ANKR".

step 4

Enter the amount of ANKR staked.

*Note: Currently "Node Provider" defaults to "Ankr". Go ahead and choose from a variety of providers offering different APYs and risk profiles.

step 5

Click "Approve" --> "Send" to complete the pledge. ANKR rewards will be obtained after the transaction is completed! Users can check the staked amount and the rewards that can be claimed on the Ankr Staking dashboard at any time.

*Note: A small amount of Gas is required.

When rewarded, staked ANKR will initially be locked for 90 days. After this, users can withdraw the accumulated ANKR or redistribute it.

As Ankr Network infrastructure solutions continue to roll out, it will be even more important for Ankr Bankrs to help secure the system. Ankr will also add more and more on-chain services with the development of Web 3.

secondary title

Ankr is exploring the decentralized network of nodes needed to become Web3, therefore, we first incentivize independent node operators and stakers (ANKR Bankrs) to join the Ankr network. Ankr Staking V1 is the first step to launch a viable product, encouraging more independent node operators and Ankr Bankrs to join and accelerate the process of decentralization. Holders can support the network through ANKR and receive rewards from developers who use RPC services and Ankr Treasury.
