What Ankr is
Ankr is a liquid-staking / restaking derivative token, currently ranked 455th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Ankr lets stakers have it both ways — yield from securing a network, plus liquidity to use the position elsewhere in DeFi. The token accrues value as the staking rewards beneath it compound.
Ankr (ANKR) is a blockchain-based platform that aims to simplify Web3 infrastructure by providing decentralized cloud computing services. It enables developers to build, deploy, and manage decentralized applications with ease.
How the yield and peg work
Holding Ankr is holding staking yield in liquid form. The main risks are the staking provider's smart contracts and any divergence between the token's market price and the redeemable value of the stake.
ANKR is not mined; it is issued as a token rather than secured by its own mining or staking layer.
Background & fundamentals
Ankr operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "On-going development".
In sector terms it is most often filed under Computing & Cloud Infrastructure, Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20), and Polygon (MATIC) Token.
Where Ankr sits in the market
At $0.00341697, Ankr carries a market capitalization of $34.17M. Around $3.16M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 9.24% of the float — elevated, often a sign of narrative-driven trading.
Almost the entire ANKR supply is already in circulation (~100.0% of the 10B cap), so future dilution is effectively off the table. ANKR remains -99% beneath its all-time high of $0.2289, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close.
What the price history shows
The tape currently reads 24-hour -2.66%, 7-day -3.17%, 30-day -8.11%, 1-year -76.02%. Across roughly the last 365 days of daily candles, ANKR endured a peak-to-trough drawdown of about 79% before stabilizing.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Ankr in the Moderate-volatility band — it shows the kind of price movement common in mid-cap crypto assets — meaningful but not unusual. Over the last 30 days the move totals -8.11%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate a liquid-staking token like Ankr
The honest checklist for ANKR is short:
- Peg to underlying — whether ANKR trades close to the value of the stake it represents.
- Provider risk — the smart-contract and validator risk of the staking protocol behind ANKR.
- Yield and unlocks — the staking yield and how withdrawal queues behave under stress.
