- Ankr is collaborating with BNB to make a full technological upgrade, which the team Ankr is calling Erigon Upgrade.
- This contribution of Ankr to BNB is completely open-sourced. That means that the developers can get access to the source code in order to modify it according to their choice
- Ankr and BNB’s collaboration hopes to have a huge impact in the world of Web 3.0 within the next couple of years
The Grand Collaboration
Ankr, at present, is one of the most trusted and fastest-growing new generation infrastructure providers. Recently, they have announced their grand collaboration with the BNB Chain. This BNB chain is a blockchain network that supports decentralized apps and smart contracts. The founding company of this chain is Binance.
This contribution of Ankr to BNB is completely open-sourced. That means that the developers can get access to the source code in order to modify it according to their choice.
- This upgrade, which the team Ankr is calling Erigon Upgrade has decreased the blockchain storage requirements of BNB by a whopping 75%!!!!
- The RPC request performance has been made efficient ten-fold. This RPC refers to the Remote Procedure Call, which is basically a set of protocols and interfaces that the client interacts with the blockchain system.
- The Sync Process has been made 100x faster.
Some Applications Regarding This Upgrade
“Ankr is a key infrastructure provider for the BNB Chain ecosystem – their contributions and expertise were critical in implementing upgrades to the BNB Chain with the Erigon client, rewriting archive node infrastructure, and creating a framework for BNB Application Sidechains. This allows the BNB Chain ecosystem to remain competitive and offer both users and builders the latest benefits.”
Mentioned above is the statement given by Samy Karim, who is the ecosystem coordinator of the BNB chain.
Following are some of the ways in which the ecosystem of the BNB chain is being upgraded with the help of Ankr:
- BNB Liquid Staking
One of the most important application of WEB 3.0 is decentralized finance, commonly known as Defi. The upgrade in the technology offers that. The token holders of BNB are provided with a huge range of options for investing and earning incentives with their digital assets.
This is done by combining the technology of different areas into one set- staking, farming, lending, and contributing to the vaults.
- BNB Application Sidechain(BAS)
The dApps, also known as decentralized applications are going to get a massive boost by this as their developing volume increased significantly.
This allows developers to create their own blockchain which is off the main chain. These sidechains run parallel to the main chain and finally get connected through eBridge or Multichain.
- Meta Apes
Whenever there is technology, there is gaming, Meta Apes is the first-ever gaming platform on BAS. It offers you the fun of both worlds.
It combines the addictive nature of Web 2.0 along with the incentives of the Web3.0 world.
Ankr and BNB collaborate to have a huge impact in the world of Web 3.0 within the next couple of years. This, as we know it, is a huge step in making the world web 3.0 enabled.
