ANKR became today's most profitable major cryptocurrency after its price rose by more than 60% at one point. The reason for such impressive price action was the announcement of a partnership between Ankr and technology giant Microsoft (MSFT) to provide enterprise node services.

As part of the collaboration, the companies plan to launch a service that will give corporations and organizations wishing to access the benefits of blockchain an easy and reliable way to host their nodes. Using Microsoft's cloud capabilities and Ankr's innovations in blockchain infrastructure, the plan is to offer an enterprise node deployment service of global, low latency blockchain connections for any Web3 project. What's most interesting is that the service will then appear on Microsoft's marketplace, Azure, making it available to millions of customers.

At that time, the investment arm of the black-and-yellow crypto giant invested in Ankr in order to stimulate cross-chain staking innovations.
