Ankr and Neura Launch RPCfi to Transform Network Activity into Onchain Rewards

**Ankr partners with Neura to launch RPCfi**, a new protocol that converts RPC network activity into onchain liquidity and rewards. **Key Innovation:** - Every blockchain interaction requires RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services - RPCfi captures this traffic and transforms it into ecosystem value - Creates a **flywheel effect** where usage generates rewards, driving more growth **How it Works:** - Instead of RPC value leaking out of the ecosystem - Traffic gets **captured and recycled** back into the Neura network - Network activity becomes a source of liquidity and rewards for participants This partnership aims to solve the problem of value extraction in blockchain infrastructure by turning necessary network operations into **sustainable ecosystem benefits**.
