Understand the project
Practical overview
When it fits
Consider Ankr when a Web3 project needs blockchain connectivity or data access, or is evaluating dedicated scaling or staking infrastructure.
Who it is for
- Teams building decentralized applications that need to connect to blockchain networks.
- Developers creating services that retrieve token, NFT or transaction data.
- Projects evaluating dedicated rollup, sidechain or staking infrastructure.
Documented uses
- Connect a dApp backend to blockchain networks through RPC endpoints.
- Retrieve blockchain information through data APIs.
- Explore infrastructure for a dedicated rollup or sidechain.
- Integrate staking-related infrastructure into a project.
Before you choose
Requirements & limits

- The described endpoints include both JSON-RPC and WebSocket access.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
