Overview
Serving developers and web3 consumers alike, App Chains are dedicated blockchains that serve only one dApp — yours.
Ankr helps you develop, launch, & operate those chains, and you deliver enhanced Web3 experiences to your users.
What is the value of App Chains?
App Chains offers plug and play tools for developers to build their dApps fast.
The 5 App Chain building blocks to customize the chain to the builder's exact specs ensures they give their users low, near zero, gas fees, blazing-fast transactions, security, and a pleasing experience that works as intended every time.
Why use an App Chain?
For ultimate scalability:
No more competing with other projects for traffic on crowded blockchains — keeping your transactions fast, your fees low, and your users happy.
For customized control:
- Configure your own consensus mechanism
- Choose your own development frameworks and programming languages
- Determine your very own fine-tuned balance between speed and security
Is an App Chain right for me?
App Chains may be the ideal development solution if you:
- Need help transitioning from Web2 to Web3 and want to own your infrastructure
- Want to own your ecosystem without building it from scratch
- Have an existing Web3 project looking to onboard your next billion users
- Are limited by current L1s and L2s
- Have a high-throughput use case needing to process lots of transactions
- Have Web3 games that need wallet integration and marketplaces for in-game assets
