In an exciting move for blockchain developers, Ankr, a well-known blockchain infrastructure provider, has announced a partnership with Story. Story is one of the most anticipated blockchain projects of 2024, with a valuation of $2.25 billion. Furthermore, it has a rapidly growing user base, with over 100 ecosystem partners actively building on its latest testnet, Odyssey. Ankr’s partnership with Story aims to streamline the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) on Story’s Layer-1 blockchain.
Developers around the world will soon be able to take advantage of Ankr’s powerful RPC connections to Story’s testnet and future mainnet. From blueprints to video game characters, developers will be able to enable high-end use cases for tokenizing different IPs in a decentralized manner.
Ankr will support Storybuilders in creating on-chain IP applications by removing barriers. Story’s ecosystem, which has already attracted $24.7 million in project funding, will also grow stronger through this partnership. Through these advancements, Story will further realize its vision of reshaping IP ownership and monetization in the age of Web3 and AI.
Ankr Streamlines Blockchain Access for Story Developers
Ankr’s infrastructure simplifies development by offering free and premium Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints. This means that the infrastructure provider will eliminate the need for developers to set up or manage their own Story nodes. Ankr’s RPC allows builders and their dApps to easily submit transactions, check wallet balances, and interact with all on-chain data, making Story’s blockchain more accessible to the developers.
Chandler Song, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ankr, expressed his excitement about the potential of this partnership:
“We are excited to partner with Story as they provide developers with all the tools they need to disrupt the IP industry that is so ripe for innovation as we enter the age of AI,” said Song. “Blockchain may uniquely revolutionize the world of creative ownership, but there’s no room for error when it comes to the performance behind protocols proving their technological edge – that’s where Ankr comes in.”
Story Enabling IP innovation in Web3 with Ankr
Weilei Yu, VP Ecosystem of Story, echoed Song’s enthusiasm. According to his statement, Ankr’s infrastructure will “supercharge and empower” developers who build on Story’s IP blockchain. This collaboration once again underlines Ankr’s position among top networks such as TON. It is expected to further strengthen Ankr Story’s reputation as the premier platform for IP-centric Web3 applications.
The collaboration between the two strong partners sets a new standard for blockchain infrastructure while aligning with Web3’s mission to redefine digital ownership and creativity in the IP industry. As Story moves toward mainnet launch with the support of Ankr, the decentralized ecosystem is primed for an influx of breakthrough IP applications. These applications will transform the creation of intellectual property, which will be protected and monetized.
