In partnership with the Babylon Protocol, Ankr aims to enable liquid staking for Bitcoin. This innovative approach enables the issuance of Ankr’s Bitcoin liquid staking tokens on Proof-of-Stake chains, leveraging Bitcoin’s trillion-dollar market cap for enhanced security.
Ankr’s Bitcoin RPC (Remote Procedure Call) endpoints serve as an essential link between wallets, command-line interfaces, and applications to the Bitcoin network. These endpoints function as messengers or blockchain routers and facilitate the passing of on-chain information between Bitcoin nodes, developers and end users, allowing them to perform essential tasks according to a press release for the company.
This project also provides a geo-distributed Bitcoin RPC infrastructure, consisting of globally distributed blockchain nodes. This approach ensures low latency and reliable connections for developers and provides a seamless experience when connecting to the Bitcoin network.
The company’s Bitcoin RPCs simplify activities for developers in the Bitcoin ecosystem, eliminating the need for setting up individual nodes. The Premium RPC Plan offers benefits such as advanced tools, minimum 90,000 requests/min, dedicated Bitcoin endpoints, prioritized requests, WebSockets capabilities, and archive calls, streamlining application development. Furthermore, Ankr’s infrastructure supports the global growth of the Bitcoin network by providing decentralized node infrastructure and facilitating easier development.
Developers can start their Bitcoin RPC journey by visiting Ankr’s RPC service and making their first call. The platform offers a user-friendly experience, allowing developers to use standard RPC methods to interact with the Bitcoin chain efficiently. As Ankr prepares to release a range of additional products, it remains at the forefront of empowering developers to build the future of the original blockchain.
