Ankr originates as a solution that utilizes shared resources in order to provide easy and affordable blockchain node hosting solutions. It was founded in November in 2017 and during its time on the market, it has built a marketplace for container-based cloud services through the usage of shared resources.
This in turn provides developers and enterprise clients with the ability to easily deploy blockchain nodes at a much cheaper price when compared to public cloud providers.
As such, hosting blockchain nodes on Ankr take away any centralization issues and single point of failure.
Furthermore, public blockchains are able to engage in communities and provide further assistance to their networks. Ankr aims to build an infrastructure platform and marketplace for Web3-stack deployment to enable resource providers as well as end-users to connect to blockchain technologies and DeFi applications.
Note that the Ankr proprietary cloud infrastructure operates independently when we compare it to public cloud providers, and that it is completely powered through geographically distributed datacenters to increase its stability and resilience levels.
The Proof of Useful Work (PoUW) consensus enables a self-sustainable blockchain framework. Instead of wasting electricity and computing power on hashes like Bitcoin does, PoUW uses these resources towards useful work tasks provided by enterprises and consumers.
The protocol runs on SGX-enabled CPUs with remote attestation to ensure security and confidentiality.
The novel PoUW approach unlocks the massive potential of idle computing power around the world by providing enough incentives: in this scheme, every computation contributor gets compensated, and some will get the extra reward for generating the blocks.
In the future, this mining scheme can promote Universal Basic Income (UBI).

Website indicates 13 team members and telegram has 15 in admins. Most of them have technical education in well-known universities. CEO does not have enough experience for leading the company graduated in 2017 and having research experience and internships (but it must be noted that internships are in Amazon and SAP). The other team seems to be more experienced. For example, CTO has 10 years’ experience in Amazon being Tech Lead and working with AWS Cloud service as well. Chief Security Engineer has been working in Palo Alto for 2 years and in General Electric and Electronic Arts. Other engineers and researchers are young but have interesting academic and career achievements. BDO has VC experience from 2013 so he is able to lead processes. The bottom line is that tech expertise is enough for developing the product but we see the lack of marketing and legal specialists.
Financial details are not published yet but Hardcap is about $16M (gossips) that is reasonable in comparison to similar projects from Cloud Computing.
Lack of prototype and whitepaper and early stage of the product Current roadmap version ends in July 2018, but it is to be updated
Team and advisors are really strong. With support from neo global capital the project can reach heights.
30-May. Sergey: We have participated in the pre-sale, we were given small allocation. It is very hard to participate in it, as far as we know.
Andrey: Sonm and Dadi are competitors. Link
