Core has integrated with top Web3 infrastructure provider Ankr to provide Core-specific Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). This represents an enormous step forward for the Core blockchain and community, as it will make building on core vastly easier.
With Ankr’s highly trusted RPC endpoints, builders can ensure smooth and incredibly fast performance for their dApps.
Ankr’s RPC Endpoints can be accessed here: https://core.public-rpc.com/ and https://www.ankr.com/rpc/core
Ankr RPC
Ankr is a Web3 infrastructure protocol that provides decentralized, interoperable, chain-neutral tooling. Their goal is to build the smarter, more collaborative internet of the future by making it much easier for different blockchain projects to work together.
Thanks to its high performance and reliability, Ankr RPC enjoys a sterling reputation in the industry.
What are the Ankr RPC Connections for Core?
The Ankr RPC connections perform a handful of functions, which include (but are not limited to):
- Ankr’s Core-specific RPCs make it easy for crypto wallets, command-line interfaces, and dApps to set up connections to the Core blockchain. In essence, they act as a relayer transmitting information between Core nodes and various kinds of users, so that those users can do things like transact, tabulate the balance of a wallet, find who controls a given asset, and more.
- Core RPC endpoints can be thought of as a portal allowing developers to interface directly with the Core network, with none of the difficulty of creating and maintaining a bespoke Core node.
- Above, it was said that Ankr enjoys a reputation for being performant and reliable. Under the hood, this is achieved by geographically distributing the RPC network. This dramatically reduces latency and makes connecting to Core extremely reliable.
How does Having Additional Core Connections Make Development Easier?
Here is a partial list of the ways in which the Ankr integration will make it easier to build on Core:
- First, the technical skills required to operate on Core have dropped considerably. Whereas before you would need to provision a full node and maintain it, now you just need to utilize one of Ankr’s RPC services. Rather than spending hours on complex DevOps procedures, you can now skip right to the fun part of building.
- Finally, anyone building sizable projects on Core can avail themselves of high-performance node clusters that contain the relevant information.
Technical Documentation

To get started fast, check this additional developer documentation. The docs cover all the basic workings of the Core blockchain, how to set up common development environments and tools (such as Hardhat and Remix), as well as more arcane subjects, like how Bitcoin miners can delegate their hashpower.
