The decentralized blockchain infrastructure provider, Ankr, has teamed up with Matter Labs to launch dedicated zkSync Era Nodes and Hyperchain blockchain solutions on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The main objective is to promote Web3 development growth and enterprise adoption by providing a gateway that is readily accessible to blockchain infrastructure available to Azure’s customers. Ankr’s specialized solutions, coupled with zkSync Era’s scalable blockchain network, as well as Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure, are expected to lower the barrier to entry and ignite enterprise adoption of blockchains.

The decentralized blockchain infrastructure provider, Ankr, has teamed up with Matter Labs to launch dedicated zkSync Era Nodes and Hyperchain blockchain solutions on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The main objective is to promote Web3 development growth and enterprise adoption by providing a gateway that is readily accessible to blockchain infrastructure available to Azure’s customers.
Ankr’s specialized solutions, coupled with zkSync Era’s scalable blockchain network, as well as Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure, are expected to lower the barrier to entry and ignite enterprise adoption of blockchains.
Infrastructure Trifecta Promoting Web3 Growth
According to the official press release shared with CryptoPotato, the new solutions for the zkSync Era network will be available on the recently launched Ankr’s Microsoft Azure Marketplace listings.
The zkSync Era node deployment service will provide worldwide blockchain connectivity, enabling any enterprise or web3 project to establish connections or develop web3 applications on zkSync Era, which happens to be a zkEVM Ethereum Layer-2 scaling protocol.
The future zkSync Era Hyperchains solution, on the other hand, is designed to allow enterprises to seamlessly build and launch their own dedicated Hyperchain blockchain. These Hyperchains will offer complete customization options to meet their specific requirements for privacy, performance, and security. Additionally, Ankr’s team will provide comprehensive engineering and support services to empower enterprises in implementing their web3 strategies.
Matter Labs’ senior vice president of business and operations, Marco Cora, highlighted the need to accommodate the complex web2 use cases with the most stringent requirements in terms of security, performance, and privacy, among other factors to scale blockchain technology like the internet.
To that extent, Cora believes that the collaboration between Ankr, Microsoft Azure, and zkSync Era, which the exec refers to as an “infrastructure trifecta,” will diminish the barrier to entry and spark widespread enterprise adoption of blockchains. Coupled with the recently announced ZK Stack, Cora anticipates more enterprise use cases to accelerate on zkSync Era.
Talking about the latest development, Chandler Song, Ankr’s Co-Founder and CEO, said,
“By offering the ability to build on zkSync Era via Ankr’s Microsoft Azure Marketplace solutions, we are breaking barriers to entry for an array of businesses that need their unique scalability and performance requirements met before they begin building out their Web3 initiatives.”
Ankr partnered with Microsoft in February this year to offer an enterprise node hosting service. More recently, the Web 3 infrastructure provider announced the launch of Enterprise RPC services on Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace to offer a gateway to blockchain infrastructure for the cloud computing platform’s customers.
Buzz Around Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) have gained significant prominence this year with multiple launches and subsequent optimizations. Matter Labs is the team behind zkSync Era, Ethereum’s third-largest Layer 2 network, which became the first zkEVM to be made publicly available in March. ZK Stack was introduced in June that leverages recursive scaling and “hyperchains” to build an ecosystem of interoperable protocols and sovereign chains.
Despite a muted start, zkSync Era has steadily continued its uptrend notching an all-time high of over $735 million in total value locked in the first week of July.
