Ankr partners with Optimism to provide fast and reliable RPC service to users The Ecoinomic

Ankr, one of the world's fastest growing Web 3.0 infrastructure providers, has announced it will become the RPC (Remote Procedural Call) service provider for Optimism.

Optimism is a Class 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, focusing on speed and efficient transactions across the network. It has caught the attention of many in recent months, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

Ankr has supported many industry leaders like Solana and Avalanche by launching their blockchains faster while enabling a better Web3 experience across the globe. Matthew Slipper, Head of Engineering at OP Labs, said:

"The addition of Ankr as an infrastructure provider has helped meet the wishes of our community members who want to build with strong and reliable services. Applications and integrations choose to build in the Optimism ecosystem as they feel in line with our values as well as appreciate the tool and technical options available to them. ”

This partnership will allow DApp developers from anywhere in the world to gain access to Optimism's public and premium RPCs. "We love what Optimism is building for the future of Ethereum. Ankr is happy to deliver a fast and reliable RPC service to their users," said Greg Gopman, Chief Marketing Officer at Ankr.

Ankr also said that it would encourage independent Optimism node operators to add their buttons to load equalizers in exchange for ANKR tokens.

Back in November 2021, Ankr Network co-founder and CEO Chandler Song wrote about multichannel technology as a necessity for the future of DeFi products. At the time, he said that projects that support multiple blockchains will attract a larger user base and increase their liquidity:

"This means that at a minimum, your DeFi product needs to support Ethereum and a niche blockchain – there are established leaders in terms of transactions, staking, nonfungible tokens (NFT) and more. The more blockchains you can interact with, the better. "
