Ankr, one of the world’s leading Web3 infrastructure providers, has announced the launch of Chainscanner. The all-in-one block explorer and analytics platform is designed specifically for application-specific blockchains (AppChains).
Chainscanner enables users and developers to examine data and interact with their chosen chains. The newly launched platform serves both groups.
It provides an intuitive interface for working with AppChains deployed on sidechain ecosystems such as BNB, Polygon, and Avalanche. Developers no longer need to build block explorers or other blockchain infrastructure from scratch to view on-chain data and transactions.
They also do not need to rely on existing solutions, which may be expensive.
Kev Silk, Product Manager for Ankr AppChains, said, “Chainscanner is an essential new building block for AppChains that greatly improves user experience with tools made to let users instantly search for data, stake tokens, vote on governance proposals, get development resources, apply to become a validator, and learn everything about different chains.
This is how we make decentralized apps as easy to use and as high performance as the centralized apps we’re used to interacting with every day.”
An End-To-End Engineering Solution For Web3 Developers
Ankr provides AppChains-as-a-Service, an end-to-end engineering solution for Web3 application developers. It enables them to build bespoke blockchains suited to their applications’ specific needs.
Poor transaction speed and high gas fees are two major obstacles to wider Web3 adoption. Developers can create their own blockchains on sidechain frameworks such as Polygon Edge, Avalanche Subnets, and the BNB Chain’s BAS to help address these problems.
AppChains let developers choose the programming languages, consensus algorithms, and development frameworks for their projects. They can also fine-tune the security of their decentralized applications (dApps) without relying on complicated smart contracts and asset bridges.
Chainscanner provides transparent statistics for validators, unique users, token information, token holders, and more.
Users can stake tokens to support an AppChain of their choice and participate in its governance. Chainscanner supports participation in governance, staking, and development.
It also gives developers data on their chain’s performance compared with other chains available on the market, along with information about the supply and demand for staking.
Users can collect data on the staking activity of a specific chain or token. This helps them understand the traction a Web3 app is gaining.
Ankr believes wider Web3 access requires a simpler blockchain creation process while preserving scalability and app-specific customization.
The Future Of Decentralized Web3 Infrastructure
Ankr supports over 50 proof-of-stake chains through a global node delivery system and RPC aggregator. As of 2022, Ankr is the biggest infrastructure provider for BSC, Fantom, and Polygon chains, serving more than 2 trillion transactions annually throughout Web3.
Ankr also provides developer tools such as the Liquid Staking SDK, Web3 Gaming SDK, and AppChains As a Service. These tools help dApp developers create Web3 apps quickly and easily.
Ankr plans to build a marketplace and an infrastructure platform to support the implementation of Web3 stacks. This will allow end-users and resource suppliers to connect to dApps and blockchain technology.
Ankr’s cloud infrastructure is not shared with other customers and operates independently from the infrastructure of other public cloud providers. Data centers in various geographic locations support its resilience and stability.
Ankr can provide enterprise clients and developers with the ability to establish more than one hundred different kinds of blockchain nodes. Its core components include decentralized infrastructure, one-click node deployment, and automated management through cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes.
Ankr uses clever connectivity and has a quirky, unique selling factor. Anyone can construct a blockchain, use the technology, assemble a development team, and take the lead.
