In an exciting move for blockchain developers, Ankr, a well-known provider of blockchain infrastructure, has announced a partnership with Story.
Ankr, a leading provider of blockchain infrastructure, today announced a partnership with Story, one of the most anticipated blockchain projects of 2024. Valued at $2.25 billion and rapidly expanding, Story boasts over 100 ecosystem partners actively building on their final testnet, Odyssey. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) on Story’s Layer-1 blockchain.
Developers around the world will soon be able to utilize Ankr's high-performance RPC connections to Story's testnet and upcoming mainnet. From blueprints to video game characters, developers will be empowered to enable high-performance use cases for tokenizing various IPs in a decentralized manner.
Ankr will support Story builders in creating on-chain IP applications by removing barriers. This collaboration will also amplify the力はStory ecosystem, which has already attracted $24.7 million in project funding. As Story advances in reshaping IP ownership and monetization in the age of Web3 and AI, this partnership marks a significant step in their journey.
Ankr Streamlining Blockchain Access for Story Developers Ankr's infrastructure simplifies development by providing both free and premium RPC (Remote Procedure Call) endpoints. As a result, the infrastructure provider will eliminate the need for developers to set up or manage their own Story nodes. Ankr's RPC will allow builders and their dApps to easily submit transactions, check wallet balances, and interact with all on-chain data, making Story's blockchain more accessible for the developers.
Commenting on the partnership, Chandler Song, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ankr, expressed his enthusiasm for the potential that this collaboration holds.
“We’re excited to work with Story as they give developers every tool they’ll need to disrupt the IP industry that is so ripe for innovation now that we’ve entered the age of AI,” said Song. “Blockchain can uniquely turn the world of creative ownership on its head, but there is no room for error regarding the performance behind protocols proving their technological edge – that’s where Ankr comes in.”
Story Empowering IP Innovation in Web3 with Ankr Weilei Yu, Story's VP of Ecosystem, echoed Song's enthusiasm. According to his statement, Ankr's infrastructure will “supercharge and empower” developers building on Story's IP blockchain. This partnership further highlights Ankr's position with top networks like TON, solidifying Story as the premier platform for IP-focused Web3 applications.
The collaboration between the two strong partners sets a new standard for blockchain infrastructure while also aligning with the mission of Web3 for redefining digital ownership and creativity in the IP industry. With the advancement of Story toward its mainnet launch with Ankr's support, the decentralized ecosystem is poised for an influx of pioneering IP applications that will transform the creation, protection, and monetization of intellectual property in the digital realm.
