## अंकर (ANKR) क्या है?
 
 अंकर एक समाधान के रूप में उत्पन्न होता है जो आसान और किफायती ब्लॉकचैन नोड होस्टिंग समाधान प्रदान करने के लिए साझा संसाधनों का उपयोग करता है। इसकी स्थापना नवंबर 2017 में हुई थी और बाजार में अपने समय के दौरान, इसने साझा संसाधनों के उपयोग के माध्यम से कंटेनर-आधारित क्लाउड सेवाओं के लिए एक बाज़ार बनाया है।
 
 यह बदले में डेवलपर्स और उद्यम ग्राहकों को सार्वजनिक क्लाउड प्रदाताओं की तुलना में बहुत सस्ती कीमत पर ब्लॉकचेन नोड्स को आसानी से तैनात करने की क्षमता प्रदान करता है।
 
 जैसे, अंकर पर ब्लॉकचैन नोड्स की मेजबानी किसी भी केंद्रीकरण के मुद्दों और विफलता के एकल बिंदु को दूर करती है।
 
 इसके अलावा, सार्वजनिक ब्लॉकचेन समुदायों में शामिल होने और अपने नेटवर्क को और सहायता प्रदान करने में सक्षम हैं। अंकर का लक्ष्य वेब3-स्टैक परिनियोजन के लिए एक बुनियादी ढांचा मंच और बाज़ार का निर्माण करना है ताकि संसाधन प्रदाताओं के साथ-साथ अंतिम उपयोगकर्ताओं को [ब्लॉकचेन](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) टेक्नोलॉजीज और [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance) अनुप्रयोगों से जुड़ने में सक्षम बनाया जा सके।
 
 ध्यान दें कि जब हम सार्वजनिक क्लाउड प्रदाताओं से इसकी तुलना करते हैं तो अंकर मालिकाना क्लाउड इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर स्वतंत्र रूप से संचालित होता है, और यह कि इसकी स्थिरता और लचीलापन स्तर बढ़ाने के लिए भौगोलिक रूप से वितरित डेटासेंटर के माध्यम से पूरी तरह से संचालित होता है।
 
 ### अंकर के संस्थापक कौन हैं?
 
 अंकर नेटवर्क 2017 में कैलिफोर्निया के बर्कले विश्वविद्यालय में एक वितरित कंप्यूटिंग प्लेटफॉर्म के रूप में स्थापित किया गया था जो ब्लॉकचेन प्रौद्योगिकियों का लाभ उठाता है। सह-संस्थापक चांडलर सॉन्ग ने अमेज़ॅन वेब सर्विसेज में एक इंजीनियर के रूप में काम किया और सीईओ के रूप कार्यरत, जबकि अन्य सह-संस्थापक रयान फेंग मॉर्गन स्टेनली में एक निवेश बैंकर के रूप में काम किया।
 
 चांडलर सॉन्ग ने 2014 में अपने नए साल के दौरान रयान फेंग को बिटकॉइन और ब्लॉकचेन से परिचित कराया, जहां उन्होंने उनसे 22 बिटकॉइन एक साथ खरीदने की बात की। 2017 में, वे बिटकॉइन सीड बन गए जिन्होंने अंकर परियोजना को वित्त पोषित किया।
 
 साथ में, उन्होंने क्लाउड कंप्यूटिंग बाजार की क्षमता को एक बुनियादी ढांचे के रूप में स्वीकार किया जो वैश्विक नवाचार को नयी दिशा दिखा सकता है। इसने उन्हें एक सस्ता, विकेन्द्रीकृत क्लाउड बनाने के मिशन पर ले लिया।
 
 ### क्या बनता है Ankr को सबसे अलग?
 
 अंकर नेटवर्क एक नया ब्लॉकचेन समाधान प्रदान करने के लिए बनाया गया है जो संपूर्ण रूप से उपकरणों और डेटा केंद्रों से निष्क्रिय कंप्यूटिंग शक्ति का लाभ उठाता है।
 
 यह एक ऐसा मंच है जो साझा अर्थव्यवस्था को सक्षम बनाता है, जहां कोई भी ग्राहक अधिक किफायती दर पर संसाधनों का उपयोग कर सकता है, जबकि उद्यमों को उनकी अतिरिक्त कंप्यूटिंग शक्ति पर मुद्रीकरण करने की क्षमता भी प्रदान करता है जिसका उपयोग नहीं किया जा रहा है। यह इस तरह से अद्वितीय है कि यह विश्वसनीय हार्डवेयर का उपयोग करने वाला पहला है, और इस तरह यह उच्च स्तर की सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करता है।

 ### कितने Ankr (ANKR) कॉइन प्रचलन में हैं?
 
 ANKR की वर्तमान परिसंचारी आपूर्ति 6,496,232,711 सिक्कों पर निर्धारित है। वे $49,811,009 USD के ट्रेडिंग वॉल्यूम पर हैं। अंकर के सिक्कों की अधिकतम आपूर्ति 10,000,000,000 ANKR सिक्कों की है।
 
 [एक्सचेंजों पर तरलता और व्यापार प्रदान करने के लिए ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/erc20/)और [BEP-2](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/bitcoin-bep2/) टोकन का उपयोग किया जाता है, और ब्लॉकचैन कार्यों तक पहुंचने के लिए मूल अंकर टोकन की आवश्यकता होती है।
 
 ### अंकर नेटवर्क कैसे सुरक्षित है?
 
 अंकर ब्लॉक सत्यापन प्रक्रिया में सत्यापन नोड्स का उपयोग करता है, और इस तरह यह सुनिश्चित कर सकता है कि नेटवर्क की गुणवत्ता स्वयं बनी रहे और किसी भी खराब एक्टर्स को सिस्टम से हटा दिया जाए।
 
 यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि सिस्टम सुरक्षित रहे और केवल अच्छे एक्टर्स को चुना जाए, अंकर एक प्रतिष्ठा-आधारित प्रणाली को नियोजित करता है। यह नोड योगदान के आधार पर एक्टर्स को फ़िल्टर करता है। इसके अलावा, एक प्रदर्शन परीक्षण का उपयोग उनके कार्यभार के आधार पर उनके भिन्न कम्प्यूटेशनल संसाधनों को उचित रूप से वितरित करने के लिए किया जाता है।
 
 अंकर इंटेल SGX को अपने मुख्य घटक के रूप में भी नियोजित करता है। यह कुछ हार्डवेयर और सॉफ़्टवेयर हमलों के खिलाफ उच्च स्तर की सुरक्षा की अनुमति देता है क्योंकि यह हार्डवेयर के अंदर ही निष्पादन की प्रक्रिया करता है।
 
 जब हम ऑफ-चेन डेटा और इसकी प्रोसेसिंग पर चर्चा करते हैं, तो एक नेटिव ओरेकल सिस्टम, या संक्षेप में NOS का नाम आता है, जो ऑन-चेन स्मार्ट कॉन्ट्रैक्ट्स के साथ-साथ ऑफ-चेन डेटा के बीच ट्रांसफर होता है। यह NOS सुरक्षित है और इसमें प्रमाणीकरण की आवश्यकता होती है।
 
 डेटा स्रोत सुरक्षा को स्वयं TLS 1.2,1.3 और Perfect Forward Security, या PFS के माध्यम से नियंत्रित किया जाता है।
 
 ### आप अंकर (ANKR) कहां से खरीद सकते हैं?
 
 अंकर एक क्रिप्टो संपत्ति है जो कई अलग-अलग क्रिप्टो एक्सचेंजों में पाई जा सकती है। अंकर (ANKR) की खरीद, बिक्री और व्यापार के लिए शीर्ष क्रिप्टो एक्सचेंजों में शामिल हैं:

Nervos Network (CKB) is an open-source public blockchain ecosystem. Its goal is to create a peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto-economy network where users can access a wide range of provably secure blockchain services and capabilities.

The Nervos mainnet launched in November 2019 with a novel dual-layer architecture. There’s a base layer where the consensus mechanism operates and smart assets are stored, and a computation layer where transactions are processed.

The base layer, also known as the Common Knowledge Base, has its own cryptocurrency called CKByte (CKB). It uses the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism and drives the Nervos ecosystem. It is used to pay miners for keeping the network safe, managing network resources, and letting users store things on the network.

The Nervos Network allows developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) that can operate on various blockchain systems. Any of the network layers can be used to run both decentralized apps and smart contracts.

Nervos Network

Chiliz is the leading digital currency for sports and entertainment by the eponymous Malta-based FinTech provider. It operates the blockchain-based sports entertainment platform Socios, which enables users to participate in the governance of their favorite sports brands. Multiple fan tokens by Socios.com are an example of that. For sports clubs and associations, fan tokens offer a way of connecting with their fans and unlocking new revenue streams.

For instance, fans can participate and influence club-related decisions through surveys and polls, such as messages the captain should wear on his armband. The company aims to bridge the gap between being an active and a passive fan. Chiliz has developed partnerships with some of the biggest sporting institutions in the world: FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus Turin, and Paris Saint-Germain. It also boasts partnerships with the UFC and gaming organizations. By purchasing CHZ, fans get access to various fan tokens and literally have a stake in their club.

Chiliz

Synthetix is building a decentralized liquidity provisioning protocol that any protocol can tap into for various purposes. Its deep liquidity and low fees serve as a backend for many exciting protocols on both Optimism and Ethereum. Many user-facing protocols in the Synthetix ecosystem, such as Kwenta (Spot and Futures), Lyra (Options), Polynomial (Automated Options), and 1inch & Curve (Atomic Swaps), tap into Synthetix liquidity to power their protocols. Synthetix is built on Optimism and Ethereum mainnet. The Synthetix Network is collateralized by SNX, ETH, and LUSD, enabling the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). Synths track and provide returns on the underlying asset without requiring one to directly hold the asset. This pooled collateral enables an array of on-chain, composable financial instruments backed by liquidity from Synthetix. Some of the most exciting upcoming releases from SNX are Perps V2, which hopes to enable low-fee on-chain futures trading through the usage of off-chain oracles, and Synthetix V3, which aims to rebuild the protocol to achieve its earliest goal, being a fully permissionless derivatives protocol. Learn more about Synthetix on their blog or by joining the SNX Discord.

The platform aims to broaden the cryptocurrency space by introducing non-blockchain assets, providing access to a more robust financial market.

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

Holo is a peer-to-peer distributed platform for hosting decentralized applications built using Holochain, a framework for developing DApps that does not require the use of blockchain technology. The goal of Holo is to serve as a bridge between the broader internet and apps built using Holochain, offering an ecosystem and marketplace in which DApps are easily accessible, as they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

The Holo network will be facilitated using a token called HoloFuel, which is actively being tested and will act as an accounting system to pay hosts for their services. In 2018, the project minted an ERC-20 token, HOT — also known as HoloToken — as an "IOU" that will be redeemable for HoloFuel upon launch.

Holo is still in development and is expected to launch for open alpha and beta testing by 2021.

LRC is the Ethereum-based cryptocurrency token of Loopring, an open protocol designed for the building of decentralized crypto exchanges.

In 2020, the average daily trading volume of the entire cryptocurrency market fluctuated in the approximate range of $50-$200 million. Most of that trading is conducted on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges — online platforms operated by private companies that store users’ funds and facilitate the matching of buy and sell orders.

Such platforms have a number of downsides common to all of them, so a new type of exchange — decentralized— has emerged to try to alleviate these disadvantages. However, fully decentralized exchanges are not without their own flaws.

Loopring’s purported goal is to combine centralized order matching with decentralized on-blockchain order settlement into a hybridized product that will take the best aspects of both centralized and decentralized exchanges.

LRC tokens became available to the public during an initial coin offering (ICO) in August 2017, while the Loopring protocol was first deployed on Ethereum mainnet in December 2019.

Theta Network

Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.

Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.

The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019.

Fantom is an open-source decentralized smart contract platform for DApps and digital assets that was created as an alternative to Ethereum. Fantom has the goal of overcoming the limitations of previous generation blockchains and balancing three components: scalability, security and decentralization. The project offers a set of tools to simplify the process of integrating existing DApps, as well as a detailed staking reward system and built-in DeFi instruments.

Fantom is a Layer-1 blockchain that uses a scratch-built consensus mechanism and independent consensus layer, Lachesis, to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. Lachesis provides security for other layers as well, including Opera, Fantom's EVM-compatible smart contract chain. The long-playing mission of the project is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.”

One of Fantom's key strengths is its performance and efficient transaction processing, namely thousands of transactions per second, where transactions are settled in 1-2 seconds, and the cost is fractions of a cent per transaction. As a result, Fantom provides higher scalability but at a lower cost.

The ecosystem is based on two main technologies: Lachesis protocol and Opera.

The Lachesis protocol is the core consensus layer that secures the Fantom network by providing both transaction speed and security.

Lachesis is an aBFT consensus engine that uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) algorithm. How it works: network data can be processed at different times, and the network filters the participants, allowing only one third, which are allocated due to erroneous or malicious behavior, without compromising network processes.

Fantom's Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism maintains the efficiency of the entire network, its design provides security at maximum speed. Fantom developers emphasize that the PoS mechanism is a leaderless phenomenon — there are no leaders of blocks and participants, and anyone can join (or leave) the network of nodes at a convenient moment.

The key qualities of Lachesis are: asynchronous, leaderless, Byzantine fault-tolerant, and near-instant finality.

As for Opera, it's an application development layer or Fantom's mainnet deployment platform, permissionless and open-source hosting DApps. Thanks to EVM integration and support for the Solidity programming language, Fantom has a full set of smart contract capabilities, which allows users to seamlessly interact with Ethereum platforms while maintaining the advantage of Fantom's transaction efficiency.

The Fantom Foundation concluded that removing block leaders improves network security, so Opera uses a PoS model and leaderless validators (validators do not determine which blocks are valid).

In addition to being a fast, secure and cheap payment platform that enables to make fast and secure payments at minimal cost, Fantom also features on-chain governance where users vote with FTM tokens (one token equals one vote). Of the features: users have the right to express the degree of agreement / disagreement on a scale from 0 to 4.

FTM is the native utility in-house PoS token of Fantom that powers the ecosystem and is applied for payments, network fees, staking, and governance. FTM forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.

Fantom

Algorand is a self-sustaining, decentralized, blockchain-based network that supports a wide range of applications. These systems are secure, scalable and efficient, all critical properties for effective applications in the real world. Algorand will support computations that require reliable performance guarantees to create new forms of trust.

The Algorand mainnet became live in June 2019, and was able to handle almost 1 million transactions per day as of December 2020. Algorand transaction metrics can be viewed here. Algorand initial coin offering (ICO) was held in June 2019, with the Algorand price of $0.24 per token.

Algorand

Reserve Rights (RSR) is an ERC-20 token that will serve two main purposes for the Reserve Protocol: overcollateralization of Reserve stablecoins (RTokens) through staking and governing them through proposing & voting on changes to their configuration.

The Reserve Rights (RSR) token was launched in May 2019 following a successful initial exchange offering (IEO) on the Huobi Prime platform.

Starting as an open-source project in 2017, IoTeX has built a decentralized platform whose aim is to empower the open economics for machines — an open ecosystem where people and machines can interact with guaranteed trust, free will, and under properly designed economic incentives.

With a global team of over 40 research scientists and engineers, IoTeX has built their EVM-compatible blockchain from scratch using the innovative Roll-DPoS consensus and launched in 2019 April, which has been running by 100+ delegates worldwide and has processed more than 10 million transactions already. On top of the IoTeX blockchain, the team has built the essential blocks of infrastructures to connect with Ethereum, BSC, and Heco blockchains such as ioPay wallet (https://iopay.me/) and ioTube bridge (https://iotube.org/), which serve ten thousands of users. IoTeX helps EVM-based DApps scale without concerning expensive gas fees!

Besides, middleware such as Decentralized Identity, Confidential Computing, and Secure Hardware has been built on top of the IoTeX blockchain. This has enabled the creation of self-sovereign devices such as Ucam, and real-world data oracles like Pebble. Ucam (https://ucam.iotex.io/) has been deployed to over 3000 households (http://iott.network/). Meanwhile, Pebble has been launched to more than 300 developers initially, and enables innovative Dapps to connect the physical world with the crypto world, such as real-world NFTs, weather derivatives and machine learning-as-mining.

Basic Attention Token, or BAT, is the token that powers a new blockchain-based digital advertising platform designed to fairly reward users for their attention, while providing advertisers with a better return on their ad spend.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Basic Attention Token.

This experience is delivered through the Brave Browser, where users can watch privacy-preserving adverts and receive BAT rewards for doing so. On the other hand, advertisers can deliver targeted ads to maximize engagement and cut down losses due to ad fraud and abuse.

The Basic Attention Token itself is the unit of reward in this advertising ecosystem, and is exchanged between advertisers, publishers and users. Advertisers pay for their advertising campaigns in BAT tokens. Out of this budget, a small portion is distributed to advertisers, while 70% is distributed to users — whereas the intermediaries that typically drive up advertising costs are cut out of the equation to improve cost-efficiency.

Basic Attention Token launched in 2017 following one of the fastest sell-out initial coin offerings (ICOs) of all time, with the platform raising a total of $35 million in under a minute. Since then, it has rolled out its attention-based advertising experience to users in most countries through its Brave Rewards program.

As of November 2020, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada had the most active advertising campaigns.
