Ankr is excited to release Corn on our Web3 API service, the blockchain that is changing the game when it comes to building BTC-Fi apps!

This is great news for developers looking to get the jump on building on top of Corn to build advanced dApps. Users will be able to access Corn 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 the Corn RPCs now!

What is Corn?

Corn is a novel blockchain network built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack, designed to fuse Bitcoin's value with Ethereum's computational power. With its hybrid tokenized Bitcoin (BTCN) as its gas token, Corn offers a unique, secure, and sustainable way to maximize Bitcoin's potential. Secured by both Bitcoin (via Babylon) and Ethereum staking, Corn ensures long-term alignment through its innovative popCORN incentives model. Seamless interoperability with other networks is enabled through LayerZero, Thorchain, and Coinbase—making it easy to bring your Bitcoin to Corn and have fun with just one click.

What Are Ankr’s New Corn RPC Connections?

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

How Do the Corn RPCs Help Developers?

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

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

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

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

How to Make Your First Call to Corn

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