![Ankr_Goat_Network.jpg](https://s3-frontend-strapi.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/Ankr_Goat_Network_617c028283.jpg)

Ankr is excited to release GOAT Network on our Web3 API service, the blockchain that is revolutionizing BTCFi apps with its [unique economic model](http://goat.network/econpaper), delivering sustainable BTC yield to both BTC and DOGE stakers.

This is great news for developers looking to get the jump on building on GOAT Network to create advanced dApps. Users will be able to access GOAT Network 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 GOAT Network RPCs now!**](https://www.ankr.com/rpc/goat/)

## What Is GOAT Network?

GOAT is a Layer 2 blockchain network, designed to make its parent Bitcoin chain faster, cheaper, and more versatile, while also offering the ability to earn sustainable yield on BTC.

GOAT is ushering in a new era of BTCFi, revolutionizing Bitcoin’s role in decentralized finance. By integrating sustainable yield mechanisms, decentralized sequencers, and advanced BTC-based financial products, GOAT is transforming Bitcoin from a passive store of value into a dynamic asset that actively generates returns payable in real BTC. As the first Bitcoin Layer 2 to offer sustainable BTC yield, GOAT Network is setting the stage for the future of finance, where Bitcoin and Dogecoin are not just stores of value, but also powerful tools for wealth creation and financial flexibility.

[**Learn more about GOAT Network**](https://www.goat.network/blog/what-is-goat-network)

## What Are Ankr’s New GOAT Network RPC Connections?

- Our GOAT Network RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect your wallet, command-line interface, or decentralized applications with GOAT Network. They act as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between GOAT Network nodes, dApps, and ultimately end users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populating wallet balances, fetching ownership information, and much more.
- GOAT Network RPC endpoints are a gateway for developers to interface directly with GOAT Network—a portal to communicate easily, remotely, and without the need to go through the DevOps of establishing their own GOAT Network nodes.
- Ankr is providing a geo-distributed GOAT Network RPC made up of blockchain nodes running worldwide for incredibly low latency and reliable connections.

[**Get started now with our GOAT Network RPC endpoints!**](https://www.ankr.com/rpc/atleta/)

## How Do GOAT Network RPCs Help Developers?

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

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

**Grants access to advanced tools** -  Ankr’s [Premium RPC Plan](https://www.ankr.com/rpc/pricing/) instantly grants access to the best tools to build applications quickly, including:

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

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

**Supports the GOAT Network ecosystem**- Ankr will strengthen GOAT Network’s ecosystem by offering easier development and a broader, decentralized node infrastructure.

## How to Make Your First Call to GOAT Network

You can [get started building](https://www.ankr.com/remote-procedure-call/) on GOAT Network network by heading to our RPC Service to make your first call! You will be able to use the GOAT Network endpoint to call the chain using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods.

[**Learn more about Fuel**](https://fuel.mirror.xyz/U2xqey0oZFCrIBf7bO3yYyFplJKiJ0sfzAyYmhrPjag)

## What Are Ankr’s New Fuel RPC Connections?

- Our Fuel RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect your wallet, command-line interface, or decentralized applications with the Fuel blockchain. They act as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between Fuel nodes, chains, and ultimately end-users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populate wallet balances, fetch ownership information, and much more.
- Fuel RPC endpoints are a gateway for developers to interface directly with Fuel — a portal to communicate easily, remotely, and with no need to go through the DevOps of establishing their own Fuel nodes.
- Asphere is providing a geo-distributed Fuel RPC comprised of blockchain nodes running worldwide for incredibly low latency and reliable connections.

[**Get started now with our Fuel RPC endpoints!**](https://www.ankr.com/rpc/fuel/)

## How Do the Fuel RPCs Help Developers?

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

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

**Grants access to advanced tools** -  Ankr’s [Premium RPC Plan](https://www.ankr.com/rpc/pricing/) instantly grants access to the best tools to build applications quickly, including:

- At least 90,000 Fuel req/minute

![IoTeX.jpg](https://s3-frontend-strapi.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/Io_Te_X_702139181b.jpg)

Ankr is proud to join the IoTeX ecosystem as a validator node operator, delivering unparalleled reliability to secure the IoTeX blockchain. Together, we're creating an opportunity to build the most secure, accessible, and interoperable applications for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks ([DePIN](https://www.ankr.com/blog/depin-decentralized-physical-infrastructure/)).

[**Build with Ankr’s IoTeX RPC →**](https://www.ankr.com/rpc/iotex/)

## What Is IoTeX? The DePIN for Everyone

[IoTeX](https://iotex.io/?ref=iotex.io) is DePIN’s only modular infrastructure platform connecting smart devices and real-world data to blockchains. IoTeX’s data aggregator solution [DePINscan](https://depinscan.io/?ref=iotex.io) provides real-time data on token market caps, transactions, devices connected, and the latest news in the $27.1 billion DePIN ecosystem. As the leading provider of DePIN infrastructure, IoTeX facilitates new rewards from devices and on/off-chain activity for users, turns personal devices into communal economies, and tokenizes the “data of everything.” Backed by a global team of 60+ research scientists and engineers, [IoTeX](https://iotex.io/?ref=iotex.io) also combines its EVM-compatible L1 blockchain, off-chain compute middleware, and open hardware to connect billions of smart devices, machines and sensors, and dApps across the physical and digital world. The IoTeX token is listed on major crypto exchanges including [Binance](https://www.binance.com/en/price/iotex?ref=iotex.io), [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/en-ca/price/iotex?ref=iotex.io), and [Crypto.com](http://crypto.com/).

**Key Benefits of IoTeX:**

**Modular:** The IoTeX platform offers modular blocks and infrastructure for developers to build blockchains, dApps, and all use cases related to DePIN.

**Scalable:** IoTeX employs sharding technology to divide the network into smaller, more manageable subchains. This allows for faster transaction processing and increased scalability, handling a larger number of devices and transactions.

**Secure:** The platform utilizes secure hardware enclaves to protect sensitive data and cryptographic keys. This ensures that devices and user data remain secure.  IoTeX's consensus mechanism is designed to be resilient to malicious attacks, ensuring the integrity of the network.

**Interoperable:** IoTeX supports cross-chain communication, enabling seamless interaction with other blockchains and expanding its ecosystem.

**User-Friendly:** IoTeX provides tools and APIs that make it easy for developers to integrate IoT devices into the blockchain, reducing the technical barriers to entry.

[**Learn more about IoTeX 2.0**](https://iotex.io/2.0)

## How Are Ankr and IoTeX Working Together?

In addition to Ankr’s IoTeX RPCs, Ankr is operating a validator for IoTeX. By taking on the vital task of validator node operations for IoTeX, Ankr commits to providing an essential service for the project.

- High-performance validator node operations for IoTeX
- Distributed validation
