Ankr and Storj Team Up to Simplify Blockchain Node Deployment with Chainsnap

The Web3 infrastructure provider Ankr and encrypted cloud storage platform Storj have partnered to provide node snapshots as a service via the new Chainsnap platform. The new service will drastically decrease the time and storage resources it takes to launch and sync blockchain nodes industry-wide for infrastructure providers, developers, and other web3 enterprises. The service is meant to decrease barriers to entry and promote decentralization by making it easier to set up and run nodes.

Chainsnap will greatly expedite blockchain node deployments as the new service at Chainsnap.io provides a variety of on-demand snapshots of blockchain data available for networks like Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Smart Chain.

The partnership will see Ankr and Storj working together to integrate Ankr’s snapshots of blockchain data with Storj’s decentralized storage network. This will allow customer applications to request up-to-date blockchain data from anywhere via Storj’s global storage network so that the data can be packaged and swiftly delivered to customers on demand. With over 20,000 global storage nodes, Storj powers extremely fast and efficient storage and retrieval of data, which will greatly speed node operations.

The partnership will also see the two companies working together to develop new features and services to enhance the future user experience of Chainsnap.
