Ankr Network – Redesigned For A Web3 Future

TL;DR
Ankr Network has been redesigned for a Web3 Future with new utility and additional features that make Ankr Network feel like an entirely new project. Few have been able to pull off the kind of pivot Ankr is doing, so it’s time to give credit where credit is due and discuss some of the recent changes over at Ankr Network. This review will cover all the different parts of Ankr. Including how to participate in the brand-new Neura AI Network launched by Ankr last week.

Moving from an Internet of Things (IoT) focused design that was considered heavily centralized, Ankr Network now resides in the Web3 infrastructure space and is completely decentralized thanks to Ankr 2.0 launched last year.

Ankr offers “almost” everything a network needs to launch and maintain functionality.

It now operates in some capacity on every major network, making Ankr a staple in the industry and aligning it closely with the interconnectivity of key infrastructure projects like Chainlink.

What is Ankr Network?

Launched back in 2019, Ankr Network hit the scene as the most secure cloud computing software stack available, allowing anyone to rent Ankr nodes to secure their networks and outsource other computational needs.

These were the heady days when cloud computing projects were just getting the green light, beginning with the launch of Siacoin. 

It's why I and other OGs are unamused when something new like NodeAI pops up. Because it's an 8-year-old idea.
