Ankr history

2026-07-20 — AI/agent tooling and MCP/CLI/dev workflow support

  • Snapshot status: all monitored pages are first-run baseline; no true previous-day diff available.
  • Sources checked: https://www.ankr.com/, /rpc/, /enterprise/, /blog/, /docs/, /docs/llms.txt.
  • Positioning: "The Fastest Web3 Infrastructure". Home claims 56 ms average response time, 99.99% uptime and 70+ blockchains.
  • AI/agent signal: Docs state that for AI agents, an LLM-friendly Markdown version of every page is available by appending .md, and the full docs index is at /docs/llms.txt.
  • MCP/CLI: No dedicated MCP/CLI control plane surfaced in monitored pages today. /llms.txt keyword hits include Kite AI chain docs, which is chain coverage rather than agent tooling.
  • Enterprise baseline: Claims 30+ blockchains for tailored RPC/API, geo-distribution across 24 metros, custom throughput over 25,000 RPS, and dedicated Slack/Telegram support.
  • News baseline: Blog sample includes Trust Wallet chain-support case dated 2026-07-16 and Ankr community letter dated 2026-07-15.
  • GetBlock implication: Ankr is strong on performance claims and LLM-readable docs, but weaker on MCP/agent packaging than QuickNode/Alchemy.

2026-07-21 — Solana / trading latency claims and low-latency infrastructure proof

  • Snapshot status: monitored pages unchanged vs last run.
  • Sources checked: https://www.ankr.com/, /rpc/, /enterprise/, /blog/, /docs/, https://www.ankr.com/rpc/solana/, https://www.ankr.com/docs/rpc-service/chains/chains-api/solana/.
  • Latency/performance proof: Homepage claims 56 ms average response time, 99.99% uptime and 70+ blockchains. Enterprise claims geo-distribution across 24 metros and custom throughput over 25,000 RPS.
  • Solana signal: Solana RPC and Solana docs URLs resolved; extraction confirmed Solana coverage but did not surface numeric Solana-specific latency claims.
  • Pricing/packaging: No diff detected. Enterprise still includes dedicated Slack/Telegram support and bespoke infrastructure by request.
  • GetBlock implication: Ankr's broad numeric claims need a sales rebuttal, but its visible Solana/trading proof is weaker than Alchemy/QuickNode/Chainstack.

2026-07-22 — Dedicated node customization: regions, methods, binaries, archive/debug, private networking

  • Snapshot status: monitored pages unchanged vs last run.
  • Sources checked: https://www.ankr.com/, /rpc/, /enterprise/, /blog/, /docs/.
  • Customization signal: Enterprise page supports low-latency geo-distribution across 24 metros, custom throughput over 25,000 RPS, dedicated Slack/Telegram engineering support, and “dedicated and bespoke infrastructure by request.”
  • Related infra: Scaling Services/AppChains offer customized dedicated blockchain solutions for enterprises, but that is adjacent to RPC dedicated nodes.
  • Limit: No strong public extracted evidence today for custom binaries, trace/debug packages, archive controls or private networking in Ankr RPC dedicated infrastructure.
  • GetBlock implication: Treat Ankr as a bespoke enterprise/throughput objection, less as a transparent custom-node feature-menu objection.

2026-07-23 — Enterprise security/compliance proof: SOC 2, ISO, SSO, RBAC, SLAs, support channels

  • Snapshot status: all monitored pages unchanged vs last run.
  • Sources checked: https://www.ankr.com/, /rpc/, /enterprise/, /blog/, /docs/.
  • Support-channel proof: Enterprise page explicitly offers a fast-response engineering support team with a dedicated Slack or Telegram channel.
  • Reliability/enterprise proof: Home claims 99.99% uptime; enterprise page adds custom throughput over 25,000 RPS and dedicated/bespoke infrastructure by request.
  • Compliance/control limit: Docs navigation includes “Trust & compliance,” but captured text did not verify SOC 2, ISO, SSO, RBAC, audit logs or formal report availability.
  • GetBlock implication: Ankr’s public wedge is direct engineering-channel access. GetBlock should state available enterprise support channels and escalation times plainly.

2026-09-15 — Ecosystem partnership evidence

  • Named ecosystem work: Ankr’s first-party case-study navigation says it contributes to BNB Chain, powers Polygon with a multi-sided solution, and upgrades Mantle Network performance.
  • Evidence limit: Today’s monitored captures do not establish grant/credit terms or a startup program.
  • GetBlock implication: Build equivalent named ecosystem proof around measurable delivery outcomes, not partner-logo galleries alone.
