Ankr offers API services for Fantom developers

We’re happy to announce that Ankr has expanded its API services to Fantom. Using Ankr’s API endpoints, developers can now seamlessly connect to the Fantom network and deploy dApps without configuring and maintaining a read-only node themselves.

Setting up an Ankr API for Fantom takes just a few clicks. Ankr’s service boasts 99.99% reliability and provides users a sleek dashboard with request history, response times, and detailed invalid-request reports.

Since Ankr allocates node computing power on demand, the allowable number of requests per second is virtually uncapped. Requests per day determine costs, so developers only pay for consumed bandwidth.

Documentation will soon be made available on Ankr’s website.

“We are excited to work with Ankr, as their API service gives developers an excellent option for building in the Fantom ecosystem. We’ve seen over 12,000 smart contracts deployed on the network so far this year, and as more projects discover how fast, inexpensive, and secure Fantom is, Ankr’s APIs will play a valuable role in helping builders quickly on-board and connect to the blockchain.”
- Michael Kong, Fantom CEO
