Additionally, enterprise RPC clients will have access to usage data and advanced telemetry across over 38 different blockchains.

The combination of Ankr's nodes and Microsoft Azure's cloud infrastructure will provide a powerful and efficient solution for companies looking to harness the power of blockchain technology.

"This was a critical step in bringing blockchain infrastructure to a growing sector of the digital economy. The partnership, while an incredible milestone for Ankr, is also a key indicator of how far the decentralized web has come in integrating with the crucial players in every layer of web systems. " 

 "The end result will be an era of extremely prolific building for blockchain-based applications from new Web3 projects as well as large enterprises entering the space." Chandler Song added.

This partnership has helped $ANKR, the utility token of Ankr Network, to surge. As of press time, ANKR's live token price is $0.045 with a 29.56% increase in 24 hours.
