Ankr is teaming up with IoTeX to build a robust global network of nodes. This will make development on the Silicon Valley-based MachineFi project faster and more effortless than ever. Ankr will also incentivize independent and enterprise IoTeX node operators to add their nodes to Ankr’s new publicly available Remote Procedure Call (RPC) in return for ANKR tokens, thus adding many additional IoTex nodes to create a more extensive network.
What Is IoTeX
IoTeX is the leading decentralized network powering the future of Web3, the Internet of Things, and the machine economy (MachineFi). The platform is built for developers to connect billions of machines with Web3 infrastructure to create innovative products, including DeFi, NFT, DAO, Metaverse, and MachineFi applications.
Founded in 2017 with a team of alumni from Google, Facebook, Uber, Bosch, and Intel, IoTeX has launched a high-performance public blockchain with off-chain computing for devices and machines, cross-chain bridges, wallet, and the MachineFi marketplace.
IoTeX is one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems and has more than $2B in assets on-chain, over 300,000 on-chain users, and at least 10,000 devices connected across 130+ dApps.
What is The IoTeX Public RPC?
- The IoTeX RPC (Remote Procedure Call) connects your wallet, command-line interface, or dApp with the IoTeX chain. It acts as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between nodes, apps, and ultimately end-users.
- The IoTeX Public RPC endpoint is the gateway for developers to interface directly with IoTeX — a portal to communicate easily, remotely, and with no need to go through the DevOps of establishing your own IoTeX node.
- In essence, this is a public, geo-distributed, and decentralized IoTeX RPC comprised of many independent blockchain nodes running worldwide.
- It can be used by anyone, anywhere, at any time, with no email signup, credit card, or other personal information.
How Will This Help IoTeX Developers?
When looking to create IoT-enabled applications, building with IoTeX is an excellent and lightning-fast choice but requires access to the information on IoTeX nodes to do so. But Ankr’s RPC solves this problem and more:
- Eliminates difficult node ops — As anyone who has tried knows, running a node is not always as straightforward as it seems. The Ankr Public RPC will completely remove the need for many developers to set up their own IoTeX node, removing hours of time spent building, calibrating, and fixing node issues.
- Powers apps and open-source software that need access to IoTeX — Connect with a cluster of nodes that holds the information you need to build dApps with IoTeX chain capabilities to power services like MetaMask to execute tasks like crypto wallet transactions.
- Supports the IoTeX network — Ankr’s Public RPC will speed the growth of the IoTeX network globally by offering easier development. Ankr will incentivize independent and enterprise IoTeX node operators to add their nodes to the Public RPC in return for ANKR tokens, thus adding many additional IoTex nodes to create a more powerful network.
Next Steps For Ankr RPC
So far, our multi-chain Public RPC has gained massive traction in the community of developers building on chains supported by our following selection of RPC endpoints:
- Solana (https://rpc.ankr.com/solana)
- Fantom (https://rpc.ankr.com/fantom)
- Ethereum (https://rpc.ankr.com/eth)
- NEAR (https://rpc.ankr.com/near)
- Celo (https://rpc.ankr.com/celo)
- Avalanche (https://rpc.ankr.com/avalanche)
- Polygon (https://rpc.ankr.com/polygon)
- Arbitrum (https://rpc.ankr.com/arbitrum)
- BSC (https://rpc.ankr.com/bsc)
- IoTeX (https://rpc.ankr.com/iotex)
Our Public RPC is just getting started, and we are planning to add capabilities for an ever-growing number of chains. By having so many developer access points and tools in one place, Ankr provides a unique and important interface that will enable devs to build a truly multi-chain future. We have RPC capabilities in production currently for more chains that will become available on our dashboard that houses all our public RPC endpoints with one-click wallet connections, chain activity, analytics, and much more.
How to Make Your First Call to IoTeX
Get started today, and head to the Ankr Protocol page to make your first call! You can use the URL: https://rpc.ankr.com/iotex directly in your wallet, command-line interface, or application to call the IoTeX chain using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods.
