Start building on Kinto for secure, DeFi-focused applications

Ankr is excited to release Kinto on our RPC service,the safety-first L2 featuring user-owned KYC, account abstraction, and a full focus on finance!

This is great news for developers looking to get the jump on building on top of Kinto to build fast and secure dApps. Users will be able to access Kinto Public and Premium RPCs, make request calls, and receive information returns that are identical to the results they would get by running a node themselves.

Call the Kinto RPCs now!

A Word From Kinto’s Team

“At Kinto, we trust Ankr as our main public RPC provider. They not only provide a reliable RPC service but a load balancer system and interface that allow us to easily distribute load across geographies and providers.”

– Ramon Recuero, CEO

What is Kinto?

Kinto is a layer 2 (L2) blockchain built on top of the Ethereum network using the Arbitrum Nitro stack. It's designed specifically to address security concerns in decentralized finance (DeFi) alongside addressing user experience challenges. Here are some key features of Kinto:

  • Security Focus: Kinto incorporates Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks directly at the blockchain level. This aims to prevent the rugs, hacks and scams that often seem to plague the ecosystem.

  • Compliance: By requiring KYC, Kinto caters to institutions with stricter regulatory requirements. This will bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi.

  • User-Centric: Kinto offers a user-friendly wallet that abstracts away complexities like seed phrases. Kinto believes that setting up a wallet should take 15 seconds, not 15 minutes.

  • Insurance: Smart contracts on Kinto will come with built-in insurance to mitigate DeFi exploit risks.

What Are Ankr’s New Kinto RPC Connections?

  • Ankr’s Kinto RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect your wallet, command-line interface, or decentralized applications with Kinto. They act as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between Kinto nodes, chains, and ultimately end-users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populate wallet balances, fetch ownership information, and much more.

  • Kinto RPC endpoints are a gateway for developers to interface directly with Kinto — a portal to communicate easily, remotely, and with no need to go through the DevOps of establishing their own Kinto nodes.

  • Ankr is providing a geo-distributed Kinto RPC comprised of blockchain nodes running worldwide for incredibly low latency and reliable connections.

How Do the Kinto RPCs Help Developers?

Building with Kinto is an excellent choice for creating high-performance and secure dApps, but requires access to the information on Kinto nodes to do so. Therefore, Ankr’s RPC solves the following developer troubles:

Eliminates complex node ops - Ankr’s Kinto RPCs will completely remove the need for developers to set up their own Kinto nodes, removing hours of time spent building, calibrating, and fixing node issues.

Grants access to advanced tools -  Ankr’s Premium RPC Plan instantly grants access to the best tools to build applications quickly, including:

  • At least 90,000 Kinto req/minute
  • Dedicated Kinto endpoints
  • Prioritized requests
  • Priority support portal
  • WebSockets (WS) capabilities

Powers chains, applications, and open-source software that need access to Kinto - Connect with a cluster of high-performance nodes that hold the information you need to build and operate applications with Kinto chain capabilities.

Supports the Kinto network - Ankr will strengthen the Kinto network globally by offering easier development and a broader, decentralized node infrastructure.

How to Make Your First Call to Kinto

You can get started building on the Kinto network by heading to Ankr’s RPC Service to make your first call! You will be able to use the Kinto endpoint to call the chain using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods.
