ANKR-Ankr Detailed Description

Ankr is a distributed computing platform that uses the idle computing power of data centers, PCs and edge devices. Its computing power market has unlocked the sharing economy based on cloud computing, bringing great convenience and benefits to suppliers and users. Ankr uses containers, Kubernetes, blockchain and trusted hardware to bring users a cheaper, safer and better cloud experience. The Ankr team includes a number of serial entrepreneurs and senior engineers. Recently, it has reached technical strategic cooperation with large technology companies SAP, Telefónica and DigitalOcean, and will further expand its application. ANKR tokens are used to store/transmit value in the platform and have utility. At the same time, ANKR tokens can be used to pay for the calculation of PoUW. Users can obtain ANKR tokens by contributing their computing power within the platform. The more you participate, the more tokens you get.

Project Introduction

Ankr is a decentralized network based on computing power with a local data delivery system. We first introduce a new mining scheme using the consensus algorithm Proof of Useful Work (PoUW) in an SGX-enabled Trusted Execution Environment (TE). We then detail how Ankr uses this platform to enable distributed cloud computing (DCC) on a blockchain environment. Next, we describe a locally authenticated data feed service (NOS) that will be used by smart contracts that use trusted hardware. Finally, we discussed the applications in the Ankr ecosystem for real business.

Lock-up plan and unlock plan
Market (5%) and some private placement (17%) was unlocked in May 2019, and the remaining private placement (13%) was unlocked in September 2019. The team and consultants will be unlocked and released monthly from October 2019, and will be released in 2 years. The community rewards will be released from July 2019 and will be released in 2 years.

Project Vision

Ankr addresses these issues by introducing a resource-efficient blockchain framework that truly supports distributed cloud computing and provides a user-friendly infrastructure for business applications. Key innovations and improvements of Ankr include:

New incentive scheme Based on useful computing workload
Decentralized computing power Composed of serverless and stateless computing units
Reliable data feed service Connecting existing business models
> ●Security and privacy are guaranteed by trusted hardware and cryptographic primitives
●Speed and scalability are achieved through Plasma-chain

Project Highlights

Application scenario

Service level

I believe it can be seen from our recent partnerships that Ankr is currently providing computing resources through multiple large data centers-data centers are provided by third-party organizations. In addition, everyone can provide their own Ankr node computing power and receive Ankr coins in return. But the question is, how can users judge how much it will cost to provide these services? How much does it cost to buy a virtual mining machine? These questions have not yet been concluded, but it seems that the most likely answer is that computing power suppliers will set their own prices, which means that users can choose Ankr’s computing power services independently, and then choose their own favorite computing power based on price, function and stability. power suppliers.

Users can decide how much to pay according to the importance of the service they want. Take security services as an example - security services require a specific hardware system, so the scope of application is limited, and the quality of service is required to be higher, which will increase the price of security services. But of course, higher prices can encourage more people to stick to their nodes to obtain higher returns. All this is very interesting - but of course the premise is to enter the Ankr platform first, which is through...

App Store

Now let's take a look at the app store naturally-users can overview all the services listed in the app store, choose the corresponding service, choose the price point, and start running! This link is very focused on user experience, and Ankr's app store interface will be clean and easy to use.

For example, you may want to create a website called WordPress, so you first select WordPress in the Ankr app store. Since you position the website for commercial purposes, you hope that the website will be stable and fast, so you will choose a slightly higher price as a service guarantee. Once you send the above request, the system will create the service, then click "User Directory" to see the interface created by the website for you:

Service Toolbox

Ankr is likely to release a "service toolbox" that provides a series of tutorials and programming templates for developers to learn and use when creating Ankr service applications. When developing a service program, developers need not only to create a method for performing tasks (such as developing a program for a virtual mining machine installed in a specific operating system), but also often need to embed "My Ankr" in the "My Ankr" interface of the GUI. room for management improvement”. In this way, developers can observe the status of the service, start or stop the service at any time, or upload new data, etc. This is what we mean by "continuous feedback" earlier.
