Web3 infrastructure provider $Ankr has announced the completion of two significant technical upgrades: migrating its RPC services to a global private fiber optic network owned by its sister company, Asphere, and launching the industry's first protocol-aware blockchain load balancer. These upgrades have resulted in an average reduction of 50%-80% in RPC request latency, as well as enhanced data privacy and system controllability. The new load balancer features protocol recognition, block height tracking, and geographic latency scoring.
