According to an official announcement today, Horizen, will collaborate with Ankr to enhance the growing EON ecosystem.
Notably, this groundbreaking partnership solidifies Ankr’s position as one of the pioneering Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers for EON, which is Horizen’s state-of-the-art EVM-compatible smart contracting platform. With Horizen’s zero-knowledge network of blockchains powered by the largest node system and scalable cross-chain protocol, Zendoo, and Ankr’s decentralized Web3 infrastructure services, the goal is to revolutionize the accessibility, scalability, and reliability of the EON ecosystem.
Rob Viglione, Co-founder of Horizen, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “The collaboration between Horizen and Ankr will significantly enhance the EON ecosystem’s capabilities, delivering unmatched value to developers and users alike. Ankr’s cutting-edge technology and suite of developer tools will not only bolster EON’s scalability and accessibility but also empower our developers to create innovative, secure, and efficient dApps across various use cases.”
Horizen, renowned for its layer 0 public blockchain offering unparalleled flexibility, empowers developers to build private or public blockchains and dApps. On the other hand, Ankr, with its top-tier global node delivery system and RPC aggregator, provides services to over 30 proof-of-stake chains. Together, they aim to support a wide range of applications within the EON ecosystem, including decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Furthermore, as part of this partnership, Ankr will provide a suite of developer tools to expedite the creation and deployment of smart contract applications on EON. These tools include the Liquid Staking SDK, Web3 Gaming SDK, and AppChains As a Service, empowering dApp developers to build scalable and groundbreaking Web3 applications on EON.
EON: Horizen’s EVM-Compatible Smart Contracting Platform
EON, Horizen’s fully EVM-compatible smart contracting platform, is the pioneer among several smart contracts within the Horizen ecosystem. By leveraging Ankr’s state-of-the-art Web3 infrastructure and services, EON will further optimize its performance, ensuring seamless experiences for both developers and end-users. Ankr’s high-performance RPC node infrastructure will empower EON to handle substantial request loads, resulting in enhanced scalability and efficiency.
Horizen EON is currently live on its permanent public testnet, Gobi, which is supported by a network of products, integrations, and tools, which now also include Ankr. With the launch of a partnership between Horizen and Ankr, the EON ecosystem is poised to welcome a wealth of dApps and services in the coming months. The combination of EON’s EVM compatibility, Horizen’s zero-knowledge enabled cross-chain protocol, and Ankr’s cutting-edge Web3 infrastructure will create a permissionless, interoperable, and customizable blockchain ecosystem for developers and users alike.
The partnership between Horizen and Ankr brings significant momentum to the EON ecosystem. With EON already live on its permanent public testnet, Gobi, and supported by a range of products, integrations, and tools, the addition of Ankr’s services further enriches the ecosystem. The combination of EON’s EVM compatibility, Horizen’s zero-knowledge enabled cross-chain protocol, and Ankr’s cutting-edge Web3 infrastructure will create a permissionless, interoperable, and customizable blockchain ecosystem, benefiting developers and users alike. Interestingly, exciting times lie ahead as the EON ecosystem prepares to welcome a multitude of dApps and services in the coming months.
