Ankr AppChains are customizable, scalable, and secure blockchain networks built using Ankr's infrastructure. They allow you to create your own decentralized applications (dApps), tokens, and smart contracts. Key benefits of using Ankr AppChains include lower costs, faster deployment, and enhanced securityAppChains enable builders to develop high-performance Web3 apps on custom blockchains. Ankr's building blocks simplify the transition from concept to product. The AppChain configurator helps outline the ideal blockchain for an app, streamlining the building process. Although specifications aren't fixed, builders gain better understanding of their options. Ankr's team then reviews developer needs and prepares the optimal AppChain solution.
