Ankr Project Introduction

Ankr is a decentralized Web3 infrastructure platform designed to provide developers with functions such as node hosting, RPC services, staking solutions, etc. The goal is to simplify the development process of blockchain applications, reduce entry barriers, and promote the development of the Web3 ecosystem. Ankr supports multiple mainstream blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and has established partnerships with major tech companies such as Microsoft and Tencent to further expand its service offerings.

The main factors affecting the price of ANKR

1. Partnership
   Collaborating with Microsoft and Tencent helps expand ANKR’s market influence and enhance the reliability and scalability of its infrastructure services.
2. Web3 infrastructure requirements
   With the rise of decentralized applications, there is an increasing demand for efficient and reliable infrastructure, and Ankr’s services are expected to benefit.​
3. Market sentiment and macroeconomics
   The volatility of the overall encrypted market, changes in regulatory policies and macroeconomic factors may all affect the price trend of ANKR.

Deep factors of ANKR price fluctuations

In addition to partnerships, Web3 market demand, and overall economic sentiment, ANKR’s price is also influenced by the following more detailed key factors:

1. Staking and Node Service Revenue

Ankr provides a Staking-as-a-Service platform, allowing users to easily stake ETH and other tokens. As the demand for staking services increases, the usage of the Ankr platform also rises in sync, resulting in:

• Protocol revenue increased (part of which is feedback to the ecosystem)
• ANKR as the internal token for payment/collateral is in high demand
• Reduce the circulating supply of ANKR in the market

Especially against the backdrop of the continuous expansion of the Ethereum staking ecosystem, Ankr’s node business growth potential directly drives the value of ANKR token.

2. The competitive position in the LST (Liquid Staking Token) field

Ankr is one of the earliest protocols to provide liquidity staking tokens (LST), such as ankrETH. With the increasing demand for liquidity staking in DeFi applications, if Ankr can successfully expand its LST market share, it will indirectly enhance the ecological influence and internal value capture capability of ANKR. However, if competitors such as Lido, Rocket Pool, EigenLayer further compress the market space, it may weaken Ankr’s future growth momentum.

3. ANKR 2.0 upgrade drives network decentralization

Ankr launched Ankr 2.0 upgrade in 2024, aiming to transform from a simple node service provider to a truly decentralized RPC provider network. This means:

• Each node provider can deploy the Ankr protocol
• Resource sharing, more decentralized income distribution
• ANKR’s importance as an economic incentive and governance tool is increasing

If Ankr 2.0 successfully expands to major public chains (such as Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism), it will significantly increase the demand and network utility of ANKR, further driving up the price.

4. DePIN Narrative Rise

A major new trend in the cryptocurrency industry is DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). As an important supplier in the infrastructure layer, Ankr will receive a new narrative endorsement and financial attention if it can embrace the DePIN concept (such as supporting decentralized storage, networking, and computing infrastructure), indirectly benefiting ANKR.

Summary

ANKR is not just a Web3 RPC node service provider, it is gradually transforming into a decentralized infrastructure platform. Whether it is the growth of staking economy, the explosion of RPC demand, or the rise of DePIN trend, ANKR is at an important intersection. If it can seize these structural opportunities and continuously optimize the token economic model, ANKR is expected to break away from the small market value range in the next few years, becoming a new focus of capital in the infrastructure narrative.
