Overview
Serving developers and web3 consumers alike, AppChains are dedicated blockchains that serve only one dApp — yours.
Ankr helps you develop, launch, & operate those chains, and you deliver enhanced Web3 experiences to your users.
What is the value of AppChains?
AppChains offers plug-and-play tools for developers to build their dApps fast.
The 6 AppChain building blocks to customize the chain to the builder's exact specs ensures they give their users low, near zero, gas fees, blazing-fast transactions, security, and a pleasing experience that works as intended every time.
Why use an AppChain?
For ultimate scalability:
No more competing with other projects for traffic on crowded blockchains — keeping your transactions fast, your fees low, and your users happy.
For customized control:
- Configure your own consensus mechanism.
- Choose your own development frameworks and programming languages.
- Determine your very own fine-tuned balance between speed and security.
Is an AppChain right for me?
AppChains may be the ideal development solution if you:
- Need help transitioning from Web2 to Web3 and want to own your infrastructure.
- Want to own your ecosystem without building it from scratch.
- Have an existing Web3 project looking to onboard your next billion users.
- Are limited by current L1s and L2s.
- Have a high-throughput use case needing to process lots of transactions.
- Have Web3 games that need wallet integration and marketplaces for in-game assets.
