Ankr Launches Kinto RPC Connections for Secure, DeFi-Focused dApp Development

Start Building on Kinto for Secure, DeFi-Focused Applications

Ankr has introduced Kinto on their RPC service, presenting a security-first Layer 2 solution featuring user-owned KYC, account abstraction, and a focus on finance. This is a great opportunity for developers to create fast and secure decentralized applications (dApps) on Kinto, utilizing both Public and Premium RPCs for request calls and information returns identical to those from running a node.

A Word From Kinto’s Team

“At Kinto, we trust Ankr as our main public RPC provider. They not only provide a reliable RPC service but a load balancer system and interface that allow us to easily distribute load across geographies and providers,” says Ramon Recuero, CEO of Kinto.

What is Kinto?

Kinto is a Layer 2 blockchain built on the Ethereum network using the Arbitrum Nitro stack. It aims to address security and user experience challenges in decentralized finance (DeFi). Key features include:

• Security Focus: Incorporates Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks directly at the blockchain level, aiming to prevent scams and hacks.

• Compliance: Kinto’s KYC requirements cater to institutions with stricter regulatory needs, bridging traditional finance and DeFi.

• User-Centric: Offers a user-friendly wallet that simplifies setup, making it quick and easy.

• Insurance: Smart contracts on Kinto come with built-in insurance to mitigate DeFi exploit risks.

Ankr’s New Kinto RPC Connections

Ankr’s Kinto RPCs connect wallets, command-line interfaces, or decentralized applications with Kinto. They relay on-chain information between Kinto nodes, chains, and end-users, facilitating transactions, wallet balances, ownership information, and more. Ankr’s geo-distributed Kinto RPC ensures low latency and reliable connections.

How Do the Kinto RPCs Help Developers?

Ankr’s Kinto RPCs offer several benefits to developers:

• Eliminates Complex Node Ops: Removes the need for developers to set up their own Kinto nodes, saving time on building, calibrating, and fixing node issues.

• Grants Access to Advanced Tools: The Premium RPC Plan includes high request rates, dedicated endpoints, prioritized requests, priority support, and WebSockets capabilities.

• Powers Applications: Connects with high-performance nodes necessary for building and operating applications with Kinto chain capabilities.

• Supports the Kinto Network: Enhances the Kinto network globally through easier development and a broader, decentralized node infrastructure.

How to Make Your First Call to Kinto

Developers can start building on the Kinto network by accessing Ankr’s RPC Service to make their first call. The Kinto endpoint allows calling the chain using standard EVM JSON RPC methods.

Final Thoughts

Ankr’s introduction of Kinto RPCs is a significant step for developers looking to build secure, compliant, and user-friendly dApps on a reliable Layer 2 blockchain. With Ankr’s robust infrastructure, developers can focus on innovation without the complexities of node management.
