Ankr Launches Blockchain-Native Load Balancer
Ankr Launches Blockchain-Native Load Balancer
馃攧 Your Load Balancer Is Wrong

Ankr has developed a purpose-built load balancer specifically designed for blockchain RPC, addressing limitations of traditional web-focused solutions.
Key features include:
- Block-height-aware routing
- Node health monitoring
- Chain-specific optimization
- Smart caching capabilities
- Method-based decision trees
- Instant failover support
The solution delivers:
- Enhanced uptime and reliability
- Optimized request distribution
- Reduced latency
- Cost efficiency
- Capacity for 1T+ monthly RPC calls
Currently supporting 75+ networks, this infrastructure upgrade marks a significant advancement in Web3 architecture.
Most load balancers were built for the web, not blockchains. They鈥檙e optimized for static websites - not for the real-time, high-volume, state-sensitive nature of blockchain RPC. That鈥檚 why Ankr built a blockchain-native load balancer from scratch.
Woof woof! Ankr is now powering @DogeOS with high-performance RPC infrastructure - optimized for uptime, latency, and scale. Big moment for Ankr, big moment for DogeOS - here, everyone's a winner. Let's talk about why:
Nine months ago, Ankr began the most ambitious infrastructure upgrade in its history: Moving RPC traffic from Cloudflare onto a private global fiber network owned by Asphere. Why? Speed, privacy and control.
Ankr recently moved from Cloudflare onto a private global fiber network. A decision that underscores our commitment to delivering world-class Web3 infrastructure.
