Ankr and Matter Labs are joining forces in a partnership that aims to simplify the accessibility of enterprise blockchain technology. Utilizing Ankr’s Azure Marketplace, they plan to venture the integration of the zkSync Era Nodes and Hyperchain blockchain solutions. This collaboration follows Ankr’s previous affiliation with Microsoft, which resulted in Azure listings from Ankr back in June.
Operating as a Web3 infrastructure provider, Ankr offers various solutions to enhance the technological capabilities of its partners. Matter Labs, on the other hand, is widely known for its development of the Ethereum layer-2 rollup zkSync. The integration involves Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure, as well as the blockchain network from zkSync Era and solutions from Ankr.
The concept involves the deployment of zkSync Era node services on a global scale, which will fortify any enterprise or web3 project’s connection and capabilities to design web3 applications. Expectations from this integration involve scaling blockchain technology to accommodate complex Web2 use cases, requiring strict security, performance, and privacy standards, according to Marco Cora, a senior VP of business and operations at Matter Labs.
The partnership aims to lower the entry barrier and stimulate enterprise adoption of blockchains. Furthermore, they intend to trigger more extensive enterprise use cases on zkSync Era. Ankr’s team will offer support and engineering expertise to enterprises aspiring to build and launch customizable hyperchain blockchains, consequently furthering their Web3 objectives.
Earlier this month, Microsoft also unveiled a partnership with Axelar. This alliance with the interoperability network would assist Azure Marketplace-supported companies access services and developer tools, thereby bolstering their advent into blockchain technology.
