Ankr, a leading software platform and decentralized infrastructure provider, and Maxihost have entered into a strategic partnership
Partnership
Ankr, a market leader in the digital asset industry as a software platform and supplier of decentralized infrastructure, has announced a strategic cooperation with bare metal provider Maxihost. Maxihost’s global bare metal cloud platform will use Ankr Protocol to monetize current underutilized server capacity, while also enabling a more dispersed global node network that will promote the expansion of Web3 platforms, apps, and services.
This collaboration ushers the metals industry into the realms of blockchain and Web3. Their global cloud platform will monetize spare server capacity in return for payment in ANKR, which Ankr will make in exchange for them running blockchain nodes on their customized, high-quality servers through the platform. Simultaneously, the agreement will improve Ankr’s worldwide node network’s dispersion, hence promoting the expansion of Web3 services, applications, and platforms.

Josh Neuroth, Ankr’s Head of Product, said: “Web3 adoption is surging globally. Ankr is now serving over 200 billion requests to the blockchain per month and to keep scaling this, we need performance that only dedicated, custom servers can provide. These nodes need to be in close proximity to DeFi users. Maxihost’s global platform can help with this. We are particularly excited to partner with Maxihost in Latin America, a region with a growing demand for nodes.”
Guilherme Soubihe Alberto, CEO of Maxihost, added: “We understand the need for Web3 infrastructure to meet the requirements of emerging networks and node operators and we are excited to enter the blockchain space and support Ankr by customizing an infrastructure for this unique market, using high-performance servers and specific and expandable storage to manage the growing mass of data being generated on the blockchain.”
