Ankr handles approximately 1.4 billion RPC (Remote Procedure Call) requests on the Stellar network each month. This volume is part of Ankr's broader infrastructure operations, which processed over 1 trillion RPC requests monthly throughout 2025 - totaling more than 12 trillion requests for the year. **Key Points:** - 1.4B monthly RPC requests on Stellar - Infrastructure runs on global bare-metal servers - No reliance on shared cloud services The company emphasizes its use of dedicated bare-metal infrastructure rather than shared cloud resources, positioning this as a differentiator in web3 infrastructure provision.

**Flow blockchain experiences significant TVL growth** driven by liquid staking adoption, marking a pivotal shift toward Consumer DeFi. **Ankr leads the charge** with ankrFLOW, their liquid staking solution that: - Unlocks instant liquidity for staked FLOW tokens - Maintains 1:1 value ratio with original stake - Enables compounding yield opportunities **Key metrics highlight momentum:** - Over 39M FLOW tokens staked (~$15M value) - Flow ranks #2 in TVL on Ankr platform after Ethereum - Positions Flow as major player in liquid staking space **The impact extends beyond numbers.** This liquid staking infrastructure provides the deep capital base necessary for Flow's transition into Consumer DeFi, where users can maximize returns while maintaining asset flexibility. Ankr's portable liquid staking tokens solve traditional staking's capital inefficiency problem, allowing users to earn staking rewards while accessing additional DeFi opportunities.
