Ankr is excited to release Gravity on our RPC service in collaboration with Asphere, the new home for enterprise-level clients. Gravity is the hotly anticipated new blockchain from the team behind Web3’s most popular onchain distribution platform, Galxe.

This is great news for developers looking to get the jump on building on top of Gravity to build advanced multi-chain dApps. Users will be able to access Gravity 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.

What is Gravity?

Gravity is a layer 1 blockchain and omnichain settlement layer built for mass adoption and full-chain abstraction. Its approach abstracts away the technical complexities of chain interactions, integrating advanced tech like ZK Proofs and state-of-the-art consensus mechanisms to ensure high performance, enhanced security, and efficiency.

Key benefits of Gravity:

  • Cross-Chain Transactions: Gravity allows developers to define and settle transactions across multiple chains, making interactions more efficient and secure.
  • Efficient Verification: Supporting cost-effective ZKP verification, Gravity ensures that transactions are both economical and secure.
  • Enhanced UX: Introducing cryptographic primitives like the secp256r1 curve through precompiled contracts, Gravity enables use cases such as cost-effective passkey authentication for Account Abstraction wallets, enhancing user experience.
  • High-Performance Execution: Gravity integrates the fastest execution layer, Reth, and the state-of-the-art consensus algorithm Jolteon (AptosBFT). Together, these technologies are set to provide high throughput and near-instant finality.
  • Secure and Robust PoS Mechanism: Gravity’s Proof-of-Stake will be powered by the combination of G token native staking and restaking protocols including Babylon and EigenLayer. This design incentivizes and unites a cross-spectrum community to collectively safeguard the Gravity chain.
  • EVM Compatibility: Gravity will be fully EVM-compatible, allowing developers to deploy and interact with smart contracts seamlessly.

What Are Ankr & Asphere’s New Gravity RPC Connections?

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

How Do the Gravity RPCs Help Developers?

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

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

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

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

How to Make Your First Call to Gravity

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