The Ankr Team<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Ankr main team comprises sixteen strong members. Many of them are graduates from Californian University Berkeley with strong technical discipline and engineering backgrounds.<\/p>\n
Few of them have ventured into other businesses before joining the Ankr team, while others have limited experience in marketing. The team founded the network in 2017 at the University as a shared computing platform that uses blockchain technology.<\/p>\n
The founder Chandler Song is an Electrical Engineering & Computer Science graduate of the Californian university, Berkeley. He has many years of working experience as an engineer with AmazonWeb Serv. He is currently the CEO of Ankr.<\/p>\n
Chandler adopted Bitcoin early and aided in developing CitySpade’s peer-to-peer real estate brokerage start-up, new York.<\/p>\n
Ryan Fang, the co-founder, is also a Californian University graduate. He poses a degree in business Administration and Statistics. He was a banker and data scientist in a global investment and financial firm, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse.<\/p>\n
Chandler Song initiated Ryan Fang into blockchain and Bitcoin in 2014 during their (freshman) year and convinced him to buy 22bitcoin.<\/p>\n
They used these bitcoins in 2017 to fund the (Ankr) project. Chandler and Ryan both recognized the advantages of the cloud computing market as a tool to enhance global innovation. They decided to build an economical decentralized cloud based on this idea.<\/p>\n
Another founding member Stanley Wu is one of the first engineers working with Amazon web Services around 2008. He gained a grounded knowledge about cloud computing there as the Technology Lead before joining Ankr.<\/p>\n
In addition, he was part of the Alexa Intenet team. He poses a good knowledge of browser technologies, large-scale distributed systems, search-engine technologies, and full-stack development.<\/p>\n
Song Liu is another notable member of the team. He studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Shanghai Jiao Tong and serves as the Ankr Chief Security Engineer. He took this position because of his experience working with Microsoft and others as ethical hacker uncovering flaws and bugs in software.<\/p>\n
Before joining the Ankr team, Song Liu was a senior engineering staff of (Palo Alto) networks. He has also been a staff of Electronic Arts, where he worked as a senior service engineer. And has gained two years of experience at Gigamon, a distributed platform for security delivery.<\/p>\n
He worked with General Electric as the Software Architect with over ten years of experience with Amazon as Technical Lead LV6.<\/p>\n
Ankr Details<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Ankr network model uses a traditional (blockchain) architecture, though it adds improvement to the incentive system and consensus mechanism. It provides continuous uptime for varieties of nodes, including going beyond and above individual 24hours support.<\/p>\n
The team members accepted this pattern, ensuring that all incentives meant for the enterprise-level networks are strong enough. Their vision is to attract a particular group of actors into the platform via verification nodes in the blockchain.<\/p>\n
Ankr has a compound API that is secure, intuitive, and cost-effective. It allows all exchanges and wallet providers to access the interest rate protocol easily.<\/p>\n
And maintains the network quality, removing bad actors from their node contribution using a reputation-based system. This is to ensure the existence of a system with only good actors as the verification nodes.<\/p>\n
However, a performance test is initiated for a fair distribution of the different computational resources between the actors. Ankr also uses the Intel SGX as its major technological component to aid the execution of applications within the hardware itself.<\/p>\n
This technology process some executions in the hardware and secures against some software and hardware attacks.<\/p>\n
For the off-chain data & processing, there is a NOS Native Oracle System that aids transfers between itself and the on-chain smart contracts. This NOS is safe and needs authentication to boost security.<\/p>\n
It also handles the data sourced security in an elastic manner. Because the Ankr platform allows security levels originating from NO encryption down to (perfect forward secrecy) PFS and TLS 1.2\/1.3.<\/p>\n
The team knows it is their launch into a niche market and adopted the Intel SGX technology and based the Ankr network on a reliable hardware solution. However, the hardware price will undoubtedly reduce the traffic for users supporting a verification node.<\/p>\n
The network\u2019s team members choose this path with the hope of increasing the network security and the level of the node owner’s commitment. This certainly will reduce the opportunity for actors that joins with malicious intent.\u00a0 The team considers this step as a necessity for the long-term evolution of having a cloud computing ecosystem that is decentralized.<\/p>\n
