Ankr announces RPC partnership with TRON
Ankr, a decentralized Web3 infrastructure, has announced its partnership with TRON to enable TRON developers to create scalable and secure dApps.
Ankr's TRON RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) will enable users to connect their wallet or dApp to the TRON blockchain. This intends to act as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between nodes, dApps and ultimately end users.
