As we head into the weekend, a sense of normalcy has returned with Crypto showing positive signs of recovery. Your latest Forge Drop is currently available and ready for you to claim.
We would also like to extend our warmest congratulations to the top performers who led this recent session.
We are eager to hear about your success, so please let us know what you managed to collect from the ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 contract.
We are pleased to announce that the second Forge Drop is officially live. For those who have been actively accumulating points, you are now able to claim your designated portion of the rewards pool. Congratulations on wrapping up such an engaged session, and please ensure you remain fully prepared for everything coming next month.
The foundation of any safe blockchain lies entirely in the reliability of the information it receives. With this in mind, @NEARProtocol has successfully modernized its cross-chain framework through the integration of Ankr vRPC.
This means the network no longer has to blindly accept the information supplied by its RPC. Instead, it can thoroughly authenticate the data before any actions are taken, establishing a powerful defense for essential bridge infrastructure against potentially altered responses.
This development serves as a substantial improvement in network safety, setting a fresh benchmark that is completely accessible for other blockchains to utilize today.
If your platform still operates on unverified trust with its RPC, it is absolutely the right time to consider an upgrade 👇
The Forge is gaining momentum as we enter yet another month. ⚒️
As an ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 holder, this serves as your dedicated hub to accomplish missions, amass Points, and guarantee your portion of the Drop pool.
Jumping into the action takes only a matter of seconds 👇
Each and every response provided by Ankr vRPC is signed at the hardware level. This setup guarantees that all data is completely authenticated long before it even reaches your codebase. Rather than simply taking the system on faith, you are fully equipped to confirm the results independently.
Please join us on Thursday September 10 at 11AM UTC for an exciting collaboration between Ankr and Redbelly. Redbelly currently holds the title of the fastest blockchain in the world and stands out as the first public chain to successfully host a Central Bank Digital Currency, also referred to as a CBDC. The entire network is driven by Ankr mRPC, delivering a highly dependable 99.99% uptime alongside full SOC 2 Type II compliance. Institutions are actively watching this space as the remarkable speeds of both technologies finally come together.
The exciting collaboration between Ankr and Redbelly is happening on Thursday September 11 at 11AM UTC. Distinguished as the fastest blockchain in the world, this network is also the very first public chain to host a Central Bank Digital Currency, commonly known as a CBDC.
This powerful ecosystem is officially driven by Ankr mRPC. Thanks to this robust infrastructure, it boasts a highly reliable 99.99% uptime and maintains strict SOC 2 Type II compliance. Institutions are keeping a close watch on these developments, as it is a perfect example of what happens when incredible speed meets speed.
It is entirely possible for your artificial intelligence agent to rely on a highly advanced frontier model while still making mistakes regarding basic blockchain facts. Resolving this problem requires taking action upstream by decoding the blockchain data long before it ever reaches the model.
After evaluating this strategy across several of the leading models, we successfully drove our accuracy rates above 90%.
If you would like to understand the steps involved in developing blockchain agents with superior structural accuracy, please read our comprehensive guide below.
For developers who are currently constructing AI agents designed to read blockchains, there are two recent Ankr releases that certainly deserve your attention.
The first is an open encoding spec known as TORPC. This tool specifically reorganizes RPC responses to better suit language models. It preserves the exact same data but consumes approximately half the tokens, resulting in answers that are measurably more accurate. To give a practical example, a standard Uniswap receipt is reduced from 1,357 tokens down to just 529. Additionally, TORPC carries a CC0 license, which allows any provider to implement it freely.
The second release is Agent RPC, which functions as the MCP server constructed over the TORPC foundation. Utilizing just a single connection, this tool equips your agent with token-optimised chain reads that span across 29 networks. Furthermore, it includes an integrated management plane where the agent can directly operate the API key and manage the billing account responsible for funding those specific reads.
Both of these solutions are currently live and ready for use.
Every single task you undertake holds immense value. Furthermore, securing that ultimate first-place position requires following a singular, dedicated path.
The initial round, Drop #1, has officially wrapped up. Competition was remarkably tight, as a margin of under 2,000 points was all that divided the first and fifth place finishers. Ultimately, the top 5 participants each earned a reward ranging between 99,000 and 106,000 ANKR.
There is great news if you missed the initial event, as the subsequent Drop is already approaching. New campaigns are actively running right now, so be sure to get involved and take advantage of this upcoming opportunity. You can find all the necessary details by visiting the link below.
Automated agents are currently consuming 5x as many tokens as human users, and this usage rate is increasing very quickly. If you are wondering what drives the largest portion of this expense, it is the process of reading onchain data. This step heavily expands context windows well before your model even has a chance to begin its reasoning phase. You can find additional details regarding this trend at the link below.
