What does Ankr do for developers?

Ankr provides distributed, load-balanced RPC endpoints for 40+ blockchains — allowing dApp developers to connect to blockchain networks reliably without running their own nodes.

Can I swap ANKR without KYC?

Yes. SyntheticSwap supports ANKR swaps with no registration or identity verification.

ankrBNB is Ankr's liquid staking token for BNB — you stake BNB and receive ankrBNB, which appreciates vs BNB over time as staking rewards accumulate, while remaining usable in DeFi.

What is an Ankr AppChain?

Ankr AppChains allow projects to deploy their own dedicated blockchains as Layer 2s or sidechains with Ankr's infrastructure and validator nodes, similar to Polygon CDK or Arbitrum Orbit.

How many blockchains does Ankr support?

Ankr's RPC and infrastructure services support over 40 blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, Optimism, and many more.

About Ankr

Ankr (ANKR) provides Web3 infrastructure services including decentralized RPC node endpoints, liquid staking (ankrBNB, ankrETH, ankrMATIC), and app-chain infrastructure. Ankr's distributed RPC network powers millions of Web3 queries daily across 40+ blockchains, serving developers building dApps, wallets, and exchanges. The ANKR token is used to access premium API services, stake for validator nodes, and govern the Ankr DAO. Ankr's liquid staking lets users stake BNB, ETH, MATIC, and other assets to receive liquid receipt tokens (ankrBNB, etc.) that can be used across DeFi.
