First of all, the two teams will advance the node infrastructure for Polygon Supernets and BNB Side Chains, AppChains of Polygon Network (MATIC) and BNB Chain (BSC).
The partners will work together in order to support AppChain users with a toolkit of high-performance, scalable and decentralized infrastructure instruments.
Anuj Shankar, CEO of Luganodes, stressed the importance of this partnership for the global ecosystem of Web3 developers, investors and enthusiasts:
We are thrilled to partner with Ankr and strengthen our commitment to providing dependable and efficient blockchain infrastructure. This partnership will enable us to deliver hassle-free operations, ensuring exceptional performance and scalability.
As covered by U.Today previously, in February 2023, Ankr (ANKR) made headlines via its partnership with Microsoft.
Better decentralization for staking and validation ecosystems
Josh Neuroth, Ankr’s (ANKR) head of product, stressed that this partnership is a major accomplishment for his project:
Partnership with Luganodes will greatly expand the available node resources for those building on Supernets and BNB Sidechains with Ankr’s AppChain service. Collaboration in this way is crucial in boosting the decentralization and performance of dedicated blockchain ecosystems simultaneously.
Luganodes and Ankr (ANKR) will also run extra nodes for validators of AppChain systems: two new validators will go live for Polygon Supernets and three additional validators will be rolled out for BNB Side Chains.
As such, the partnership results in strengthening infrastructure for Polygon (MATIC) and BNB Chain (BSC) ecosystems as well as for making both ecosystems more fair, inclusive and decentralized in terms of the accessibility of staking and validation processes.
