In a strategic move that promises to reshape the landscape of Web3 development, Ankr, a leading provider of blockchain infrastructure solutions, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Linea, a layer 2 solution developed by Consensys. This collaboration will see the integration of the Linea Network into Ankr’s Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service, significantly enhancing the development capabilities for Web3 applications.
Delcan Fox, the Product Lead at Linea, expressed excitement about the partnership, saying, “Our collaboration with Ankr in integrating our zkEVM rollup into their RPC services is a pivotal development. This partnership significantly extends Linea’s reach and usability within the developer community. By leveraging Ankr’s established platform, Linea’s growing ecosystem becomes more accessible to a wider range of developers, facilitating the creation and migration of scalable, efficient dApps on Layer 2.”
Simplifying Blockchain Application Development
The integration of Ankr’s Linea RPCs is set to streamline the connection between wallets, dApps, and the Linea blockchain, simplifying the process of transmitting on-chain data. This innovation eliminates the need for developers to set up and maintain their own Linea nodes, saving them considerable time and effort that can now be redirected towards the development of feature-rich applications.
Furthermore, Ankr’s Premium RPC Plan offers developers instant access to powerful tools designed to enhance the development process. These tools include a high request rate, high request priority, global node locations, telemetry, debug mode, a support portal, and WebSocket (WS) capabilities, all of which are geared towards overcoming the challenges of rapidly building applications on the Linea Network.
The partnership also aims to strengthen the Linea Network by supporting the global ecosystem and simplifying the development processes. By expanding the reach of distributed node infrastructure, Ankr and Linea are facilitating the growth and impact of the network, thereby contributing to the broader blockchain development community.
Stanley Wu, Co-founder and CTO of Ankr, shared the enthusiasm for the joint venture, underlining the mutual goal of creating a secure and scalable blockchain ecosystem that prioritizes the developer experience. Wu added, “Ankr is excited to join forces with Linea to create an extremely secure and scalable blockchain ecosystem that prioritizes the developer experience. Putting builders first with incredibly fast, reliable, and user-friendly infrastructure shows Linea’s dedication to becoming a hub for building some of the most innovative web3 applications.”
Ankr’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to empowering developers are evident in this integration. By simplifying blockchain development and making it more accessible, Ankr is driving forward its mission to revolutionize the blockchain landscape. The company provides a full suite of tools for Web3 app development, offering multi-chain dApp development tools, blockchain engineering services, crypto staking solutions, and a globally distributed node infrastructure.
Linea’s technology, which combines the power of zero-knowledge proofs with full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalence, allows developers to create scalable dApps or migrate existing ones without the need to change code or rewrite smart contracts. This makes Linea an attractive platform for developers seeking to leverage zkEVM capabilities without requiring extensive knowledge in zero-knowledge technology.
As we look ahead, the Ankr and Linea partnership heralds a new era for Web3 development, offering developers an unparalleled platform to innovate and build the decentralized applications of the future. It is set to catalyze the growth of the blockchain development community, fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of dApps. This is not just a step forward for Ankr and Linea but a giant leap for the blockchain community at large.
