Ankr and Storj have formed a strategic partnership to offer node snapshots as a service on the newly released Chainsnap platform. Infrastructure providers, developers, and other Web3 businesses will experience a significant reduction in the amount of time and storage resources required for the deployment and synchronization of blockchain nodes as a result of the introduction of the new service.
By lowering the obstacles to entry and making it simpler to set up and maintain nodes, the service seeks to accomplish its goal of promoting decentralization. Since the new service at Chainsnap.io provides a range of on-demand snapshots of blockchain data, Chainsnap will substantially accelerate the process of deploying blockchain nodes. This is because Chainsnap is compatible with networks such as Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Smart Chain.
A Seamless Experience for Global Web3 Enterprises
The integration of Ankr’s snapshots of blockchain data with Storj’s decentralized storage network will be a joint effort between Ankr and Storj as a result of the partnership between the two companies. As a result, user apps will be able to request the most recent blockchain data from Storj’s global storage network from any location in the world. This will allow the data to be packaged and quickly given to customers on demand.
Storj CEO Ben Golub said: “Ankr’s Snapshot-as-a-Service is a perfect example of how powerful our decentralized storage network can be in delivering on-demand data. Together, we can provide a seamless experience for global Web3 enterprises while simultaneously promoting the adoption of blockchain and decentralized storage services.”
Storj, which has more than 20,000 storage nodes all over the world, enables the storing and retrieval of data in an exceptionally quick and effective manner, which will substantially speed up node operations. As part of the partnership, the two firms will also collaborate on the development of new products and services that will improve the overall quality of the Chainsnap user experience in the future.
Ankr CEO Chandler Song said: “We’re excited to be working with Storj to allow nodes from across Web3 to get synced and online faster. Their leading-edge global storage, combined with our unmatched on-chain data sourcing, will make it easy for anyone to take advantage of Chainsnap and make the process of launching nodes many times faster.”
Powering the Foundational Layer for the Digital Economy
Ankr is a decentralized Web3 infrastructure provider that is now powering the underlying foundation for Web3, DeFi, and the digital economy spanning hundreds of different blockchains. The RPC node marketplace offered by Ankr makes it possible for independent node providers to generate revenue from their existing node infrastructure.
A pay-as-you-go approach that is protected by the ANKR token makes it possible for Web3 developers to employ Ankr’s progressively decentralized RPC services. Ankr’s mission is to become an essential component of Web3’s growing infrastructure while also guaranteeing that the platform retains its decentralized nature along the way.
Storj is the industry leader when it comes to object storage on a decentralized cloud. Storj was designed with developers, architects, and IT operations professionals in mind. It offers CDN-like performance at the price of cold storage, enterprise-grade durability, and improved security with no vendor lock-in and no single failure points. Storj meets the most advanced privacy and sustainability requirements for conventional use cases, Web3, and decentralized applications (dApps).
Storj is a trustless, globally distributed network that is easily incorporated into any existing stack and is compatible with S3. It makes performance, privacy, and durability available to any size company. Storj boasts petabyte-scale enterprise and Web3 partners and clients, including Pocket Network, Atempo, iXsystems, Gabb Wireless, and the University of Edinburgh.
