Exploring the chain
🔥What we’re watching: Ankr, a crypto infrastructure provider, has partnered with Matchain to launch a web3 API service to support developers building dApps on Matchain.
🔥Why it matters: Matchain’s integration into Ankr’s API service allows developers to build scalable and privacy-focused applications with its technology. Developers using Ankr now have access to Matchain tools such as Decentralized Identity (DID), Data Sovereignty and AI Augmentation to build dApps.
This partnership brings Matchain public and premium RPCs to developers, providing access to high-throughput nodes, prioritized requests, and WebSocket capabilities. These RPC tools allow developers and users to directly interact with its blockchain by relaying onchain information between nodes and applications.
For example, developers can set up dApps that allow users to connect their wallets and perform transactions with Matchain’s infrastructure on the backend. These tools also help alleviate the complexity of setting up nodes, allowing developers to focus on building rather than setting up infrastructure.
The partnership also could strengthen Matchain’s network by expanding its decentralized node infrastructure and can help onboard developers to build more innovative dApps in the ecosystem.
🔥The bigger picture: Matchain’s integration into the Ankr developer ecosystem can contribute to the growth of the network as it has exposure to the many dApps and builders that utilize these web3 API services regularly. Ankr hosts developer tools for over 55 chains, including many major layer-1 and layer-2 blockchains such as Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon and Avalanche. This integration opens up the door for Matchain’s ecosystem and developers looking to expand to new ones.
