Picture this: you're a master puppeteer controlling complex operations from behind the scenes, ensuring a seamless performance on stage. This, in essence, is the role of RPC providers and EVM-compatible platforms in the spectacular show of blockchain technology. However, as with any riveting drama, there's more than meets the eye. Let's pull back the curtain to critically explore these crucial components of our decentralized future.
The Unseen Puppet Masters: RPC Providers
Just as a puppeteer manipulates strings to control puppets, RPC (Remote Procedure Call) providers pull the invisible threads that allow software applications to request a service from a program located in another computer on a network. In the blockchain realm, RPC providers such as Infura, Alchemy, and QuickNode handle the daunting task of running a full node on Ethereum, freeing developers to focus on crafting their unique applications.
The Adaptable Stage: EVM-Compatible Smart Contracting Platforms
Imagine a stage so adaptable that any performance can be enacted without altering the script. That's what EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)-compatible platforms like Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon offer. These platforms can execute the same smart contracts as Ethereum without any changes. Consequently, Ethereum-based dApps, wallets, and other smart contracts can be effortlessly ported to these networks, increasing interoperability and paving the way for a multi-chain future.
A New Era of Blockchain: How RPC Providers and EVM-Compatible Platforms are Revolutionizing the Tech Space
Imagine two superheroes, each armed with unique capabilities, joining forces to create an ecosystem where accessibility, scalability, and reliability are the norm. This isn't the plot of the latest blockbuster. It's the reality being shaped by Horizen, a leading layer 0 public blockchain, and Ankr, a pioneer in Web3 infrastructure, in the rapidly emerging field of blockchain technology.

In a strategic partnership, Horizen and Ankr are synergizing their strengths to enhance EON, Horizen's novel EVM-compatible smart contracting platform. Ankr, now one of the first Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers for EON, is setting the stage for a paradigm shift in diverse use cases, from DeFi and gaming to the ever-expanding world of NFTs.
The EON Revolution
EON stands as Horizen’s first in a series of smart contract sidechains. It's not merely an addition; it's a game-changer. As a fully EVM-compatible platform, EON introduces a new level of interoperability, allowing Ethereum-based applications to be ported over seamlessly.
Partnering with Ankr supercharges EON's capabilities. Ankr's advanced Web3 infrastructure will augment EON's performance, making it more accessible and efficient. Ankr's robust RPC node infrastructure equips EON to handle a broad spectrum of request loads, resulting in an optimized, scalable platform.
Rob Viglione, Co-founder of Horizen, encapsulates the partnership's promise, stating, "The collaboration between Horizen and Ankr will significantly enhance the EON ecosystem's capabilities, delivering unmatched value to developers and users alike."
Ankr: Powering Web3 Innovation
Ankr's commitment to empowering developers to build cutting-edge solutions is reflected in their collaboration with Horizen. The partnership embodies Ankr's ethos of providing accessible connections to innovative platforms like EON, in their quest to bring Web3 to the next billion users.
Josh Neuroth, Head of Product at Ankr, asserts, “Our collaboration with Horizen is a testament to Ankr’s dedication to developers. Ankr can assist in powering the leading edge of smart contract technology."
The Tools for Tomorrow
In addition to providing high-performance RPC nodes, Ankr is set to unveil a suite of developer tools, including the Liquid Staking SDK, Web3 Gaming SDK, and AppChains As a Service. These tools will enable developers to deploy smart contract applications on EON, promoting the development of innovative and scalable Web3 applications.
The partnership signals a promising era for the EON ecosystem, which is currently live on its public testnet, Gobi. A network of products, integrations, and tools, now boosted by Ankr's contribution, supports Gobi. In the coming months, the EON ecosystem is expected to welcome an array of dApps and services. The trifecta of EON's EVM compatibility, Horizen's zero-knowledge-enabled cross-chain protocol, and Ankr's advanced Web3 infrastructure is set to create an interoperable, customizable blockchain ecosystem, which respects no boundaries.
