Ankr is thrilled to announce that we’ve officially been selected as a whitelisted RPC provider for the Arbitrum DAO ecosystem. This partnership marks an exciting step forward in our mission to deliver lightning-fast, reliable blockchain infrastructure to developers across the most promising ecosystems in Web3.

As part of our new role, Ankr’s whitelisted, high-performance RPC services for Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova, will empower developers to build at scale with the speed, reliability, and decentralization they expect from next-gen Ethereum scaling solutions.

Why Arbitrum?

Arbitrum has solified itslef as one of the leading Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, built to drastically reduce transaction costs and increase throughput without sacrificing Ethereum’s security. Developed by Offchain Labs, Arbitrum uses Optimistic Rollup tech to batch transactions off-chain and settle them on Ethereum, dramatically improving scalability.

At the core of this innovation is Arbitrum Nitro, the latest iteration of Arbitrum’s stack. Nitro brings massive performance upgrades by incorporating:

  • Geth at Layer 2: Nitro runs a native version of Geth—the most widely-used Ethereum client—making it highly compatible with existing Ethereum tooling and simplifying developer onboarding.]
  • WASM-Based Fraud Proofs: Nitro introduces a new WASM-based prover, enabling faster and more flexible fraud proofs using standard languages and compilers.
  • Optimized Performance: With advanced calldata compression, improved batching, and streamlined cross-chain communication, Nitro drastically reduces L1 costs and boosts throughput for high-performance dApps.

Arbitrum’s unique combination of scalability, EVM-compatibility, and decentralization has made it the go-to Layer 2 for a growing ecosystem of dApps, from DeFi protocols and gaming platforms to NFT marketplaces and beyond.

The Role of Ankr RPCs in the Arbitrum Ecosystem

Our Arbitrum RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect wallets, command-line interfaces, and dApps with the Arbitrum blockchain. They act as messengers or blockchain routers that relay on-chain information between Arbitrum nodes, dApps, and ultimately end-users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populate wallet balances, fetch ownership information, and much more.

By joining Arbitrum’s whitelist of official RPC providers, Ankr will serve as a core infrastructure layer powering the next generation of dApps. Developers building on Arbitrum or Arbitrum Nova can now integrate with our RPC endpoints directly via the Ankr platform, unlocking the full benefits of our:

  • Ultra-low latency and high throughput
  • Geo-distributed network of nodes for high availability
  • Enterprise-grade reliability and security
  • Seamless integration with Ankr’s developer suite, including dashboards, analytics, and advanced monitoring tools

By making it easier and faster to access Arbitrum’s scaling power, we’re helping to reduce friction for developers, accelerate time-to-market, and improve the end-user experience of the dApps they build
