On June 8, Ankr, a decentralized blockchain infrastructure provider, announced the launch of its enterprise blockchain creator tool, called “AppChains,” on Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace.
This solution allows companies to quickly launch a dedicated and customizable blockchain to support various Web3 strategies. Initially, developers can deploy the Polygon Supernet, with more options becoming available in the future.
Ankr states that AppChains has already been in use for a year, enabling the launch of application-specific blockchains for decentralized applications. However, the company is now experiencing strong demand from institutional clients in sectors such as banking, central bank digital currencies, and gaming.
By making the AppChain solution available on Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace, businesses have an easy way to find a vetted solution and bring use cases to market. AppChains offer fast and affordable transactions, seamless user experiences, regulatory compliance, and comprehensive engineering.
Peter Stewart, head of infrastructure at Ankr, mentions that they will continue to enhance the tool based on user feedback and performance metrics, with Microsoft’s guidance. Daniel An, director of Web3 and artificial intelligence business development at Microsoft, considers partnering with Ankr as a crucial step in seamlessly testing, deploying, and scaling Web3 projects.
Ankr previously partnered with Microsoft on February 21 to offer enterprise node hosting services on the Azure Marketplace. This service enables transaction relays, smart contract deployment, and reading or writing blockchain data, saving developers’ time when scaling their applications. Ankr’s Web3 developer hub and software development kits currently support connections to over 30 blockchains. It is an approved infrastructure partner for building on the BNB Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche ecosystems.
