Stake with ANKR

Co-founders Chandler Song and Ryan Fang (Forbes 30 Under 30 laureates) founded Ankr in 2017 shortly after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley after being early participants in the Blockchain at Berkeley program. 

Chandler was working as an engineer at Amazon Web Services at the time where he met Stanley Wu, the third co-founder. Together, they took on a mission to build the most decentralized and scalable Web3 infrastructure possible.

Ankr utilizes verification nodes in the block validation process, and as such can ensure that the quality of the network itself is maintained and that any bad actors are removed from the system.

In order to ensure that the system remains secure and that only good actors are picked, Ankr employs a reputation-based system. This filters actors based on node contributions. Furthermore, a performance test is used to fairly distribute their differing computational resources based on their workload.

Ankr also employs the intel SGX as its main component. This allows for a high level of security against certain hardware and software attacks due to the fact that it processes executions inside of the hardware itself.

When we discuss off-chain data and its processing, there is a Native Oracle System, or NOS for short, that transfers between the on-chain smart contracts as well as the off-chain data. This NOS is secure and requires authentication.

The Data Source Security itself is handled through TLS 1.2,1.3 and Perfect Forward Security, or PFS.
