Electroneum 2.​0 Roadmap Unveiled with Focus on Mobile and Node Upgrades

Ankr has announced a partnership with **ZKV Protocol**, described as the universal proof verification layer for zero-knowledge applications. The collaboration aims to: - Make ZK apps **simple, fast, and secure** - Provide developers with **seamless access** through Ankr's reliable RPC endpoints - Support zkVerify in powering Web3 growth This partnership builds on Ankr's recent expansion as a **whitelisted RPC provider** for the Arbitrum DAO ecosystem, where they offer high-performance services for projects building at scale. The integration positions both companies to **streamline development processes** for zero-knowledge applications across the Web3 ecosystem.

**Avail Project has acquired Arcana Network**, bringing significant infrastructure capabilities to the Avail ecosystem. The acquisition adds several key technologies to Avail Nexus: - **Chain abstraction** capabilities - **Wallet infrastructure** - **Authentication systems** - **Multi-Party Computation (MPC)** technology This move strengthens Avail's position in the modular blockchain space by integrating Arcana's user experience and security tools. The acquisition appears designed to enhance cross-chain functionality and simplify user interactions within the Avail ecosystem. Avail has been actively building partnerships, including previous collaborations with gaming-focused projects like Moonveil for infrastructure and node operations. The integration of Arcana's technology stack could improve developer tools and user onboarding processes across Avail's data availability network.

**Atleta Networks** is launching its mainnet with **Ankr** as infrastructure partner, featuring the **$ATLA** token. The project focuses on building a **modular, multi-layer blockchain** specifically designed for sports applications. **Key Details:** - Partnership spotlight featuring Sergio from Ankr and Egor from Atleta Networks - Discussion covers the technical architecture and sports-focused use cases - Mainnet launch represents a significant milestone for sports-related blockchain adoption **When:** August 28, 4PM CET **Where:** [Twitter Spaces](https://x.com/i/spaces/1OyKAjwdDOwGb) This collaboration demonstrates how **infrastructure providers** like Ankr are enabling specialized blockchain networks for specific industries.

**Electroneum testnet faucet is now operational** with backing from Ankr infrastructure provider. Developers can access the faucet at [faucet.electroneum.com](https://faucet.electroneum.com) to obtain test tokens for building and testing applications on the Electroneum network. This partnership with Ankr provides reliable infrastructure support for the testnet environment, enabling smoother development experiences. **Key benefits:** - Free testnet tokens for developers - Ankr's proven infrastructure reliability - Streamlined testing environment Developers can also access Electroneum RPC endpoints through [Ankr's platform](https://www.ankr.com/rpc/electroneum/) for comprehensive development tools.

**Flow blockchain experienced significant growth** in Q2 2025, driven by strong performance on Ankr's liquid staking platform. **Key metrics:** - ankrFLOW TVL nearly doubled to **$11.7M** - Market share jumped from 55.6% to **81%** - Flow now ranks as **4th largest asset** on Ankr's multichain platform - **39.8M FLOW tokens** currently staked (~$15M value) The growth positions Flow as the #2 TVL on Ankr after Ethereum. Users can stake FLOW tokens through [Ankr's platform](https://www.ankr.com/staking-crypto/flow-flowevm/) to receive ankrFLOW - liquid, reward-bearing tokens that maintain 1:1 value ratio while providing capital efficiency for additional DeFi opportunities.
