Start building on Electroneum for enhanced speed, safety, and efficiency.

Ankr is excited to announce a new addition to our RPC service: Electroneum, an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain designed for speed, security, and energy efficiency.

This is great news for developers looking to get the jump on building on top of Electroneum for fast and secure dApps! Users will be able to access Electroneum 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.

Electroneum will be running a hackathon in Q3 2024 to encourage developers to build new dApps and utilities on the Electroneum Layer-1 chain. Ankr will post more details on the event as they arise!

What is Electroneum?

Praised by the co-inventor of blockchain technology, the Electroneum blockchain positions itself as a fast, secure, and energy-efficient platform for various blockchain applications, with a focus on global accessibility and responsibility.

Electroneum features several benefits, including:

  • Secure IBFT-based blockchain with known validators
  • Compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
  • 5-second transaction speeds
  • Instant blockchain finality system
  • Low-cost smart contract fees
  • Minimal energy consumption

What Are Ankr’s New Electroneum RPC Connections?

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

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

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

How Do the Electroneum RPCs Help Developers?

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

Eliminates complex node ops - Ankr’s Electroneum RPCs will completely remove the need for developers to set up their own Electroneum 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 Electroneum req/minute
  • Dedicated Electroneum endpoints
  • Prioritized requests
  • Priority support portal
  • WebSockets (WS) capabilities

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

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

How to Make Your First Call to Electroneum

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