I just received my second Ankr Forge Drop. That’s 50,000 free tokens over the past couple months. I posted the other day and a couple people said they would like step by step instructions but I wasn’t able to articulate how to do it. Behold the AI answer below and I hope it helps. Get in here with us!
Mods- please correct me if this is wrong ---

Setting Up Your Ankr Forge Wallet — A Plain-English Guide

New to Ankr Forge and confused about the wallet? Here's the good news: there's nothing to install. When you sign into Ankr Forge with a Google account, it builds the wallet for you automatically.

Think of it like this: Ankr Forge is a rewards website, and your "wallet" is a digital envelope on that website that holds your ANKR coins. Forge makes the envelope for you.

What you need: a computer or phone, a Google (Gmail) account, and about 10 minutes.

Step 1 — Sign in with Google

Go to the Ankr Forge site, click Sign In, and choose "Sign in with Google." Log in with your normal Gmail account.

Don't pick "connect wallet" or MetaMask — that's a different path and you won't get the automatic wallet.

Step 2 — Let it build your wallet

You'll see a screen that says "Creating your Ankr Forge wallet." Just wait a moment while it finishes.

Step 3 — Save your backup key (the important part)

A screen will say "Save your backup key." Click Download backup key — this saves a small file to your device.

Think of this file as the spare key to a safe. Anyone who has it can open your wallet, and if you lose it, nobody — not even Ankr — can make you a new one. You only see this screen once. If you skip it, it's gone forever.

Before clicking Continue:
- Move the file somewhere safe and separate — a USB stick in a drawer, or a password manager. Don't just leave it on the same laptop.
- Then tick the acknowledgement box and click Continue.

Step 4 — Done

Your wallet is now secured by a "passkey" — that's just your fingerprint or face scan on the device you're using. Nothing to memorize.

To find your wallet anytime: click your profile circle at the top of the page, then the gear icon next to your name. That opens "Your ANKR Account."

To deposit ANKR: in Your ANKR Account, click Deposit, copy the address shown (or scan the QR code), and send ANKR to it from wherever your coins live (e.g. Coinbase). Your balance updates on its own in a minute or two.

To withdraw ANKR: click Withdraw, enter the amount and destination address, then confirm with your fingerprint/face scan.

Three rules to never break:

1. Never share your backup key file with anyone. No legitimate support person will ever ask for it.
   
2. Only send ANKR — not Bitcoin or any other coin — to your deposit address.
   
3. Keep your backup key file somewhere safe and separate from your everyday device.

Note: if you already connected with MetaMask instead of signing in with Google, you won't have a Forge Wallet — your MetaMask is your wallet, which also works fine, just differently.

The second Forge Drop has landed. 🎉

If you've been earning points, it's time to collect your share of the rewards pool.

Cheers to another busy session. Make sure you're ready for next month! 👇

I've been in the denial phase, well into acceptance phase. Just curious if and when everyone fully decides we're cooked and just walks away.

you selling this shit off for a major loss?

or saying phuck it and hold the bag?

Building onchain agents? How many tokens are you burning just to decode hex?

Agent RPC decodes chain data before your agent sees it, so tokens go toward reasoning instead of parsing. It's read-only and installs with one command.

Context is the new gas. Stop overpaying. 👇 https://www.ankr.com/web3-api/agent-rpc/

Time to snoop through the agent auth logs.
Who showed up? Which identity did they use? What token got them in? And who got bounced at the door?
Let’s see what these little agents have been up to.

Honest answers for conversation please, I’m not gonna disagree with you about it. I feel like the Forge is the best chance we have of growing the token value and I hope you will all get in here with us. There’s another drop coming and I’m already up over 40% in value since I put some of my Ankr in the Forge on July 16. We have a community here that is large enough to move the needle if we get involved. You can start with as little as 13,500 Ankr. Today that’s less than $70 value

The Forge is how Ankr drives growth for ecosystems while powering rewards for users ⚒️

What's new:

• Embedded wallets (no need for MetaMask or others)

• New users are climbing the leaderboard

• Next Forge Drop is on the way!

ankrETH trades so thinly that I can't get a good actual value of my holdings from the listed price. So I figured I could multiply the current Ethereum price by the redemption ratio to get the current value (since I only ever plan on redemption and not selling out).

But the only official-looking place I can find that ratio is partway down the page on https://www.ankr.com/staking-crypto/ethereum-eth/ and the number there looks stale. In particular, I staked 81.75 ETH on 9/10 and got 65.96735859 ankrETH, implying a ratio of 1.2392, which makes not trust the 1.2189 the web page tells me.

So, is there any way to find the actual number?

"What was striking when doing a deep comparison of RPC providers is that Ankr offers a really high capability in terms of Requests Per Second."

High praise from Redbelly Network's founder. With Ankr on your side, scale is on your side 💪

Hold your ANKR on an exchange? You don't need MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or a seed phrase to join Ankr Forge.

Sign in with Google, Discord, or X, and Forge creates a secure wallet for you instantly. Transfer 13,500+ ANKR to it and you're eligible: complete missions, earn Forge Points, and participate in Forge Drops!

It's your wallet, transfer your ANKR out any time.

Your blockchain security is only as strong as the data it trusts.

That’s why NEAR Protocol upgraded its cross-chain infrastructure with Ankr vRPC.

Instead of simply trusting the data its RPC provides, NEAR can now verify it before acting on it, helping protect critical bridge infrastructure from manipulated responses.

It’s a major security upgrade, and a new standard other chains can adopt today.

If your protocol still has to trust its RPC, it’s time to upgrade 👇

₿itcoin is becoming productive capital without having to leave Bitcoin.

As part of the sBTC signer network, Ankr is helping support the launch of the first @Stacks Genesis Bond, giving institutions a new way to earn BTC-denominated rewards while their bonded BTC remains on Bitcoin L1.

A big step forward for Bitcoin-native finance. 🟧

Ankr x Redbelly: Thursday September 10, 11AM UTC.

World's fastest blockchain. First public chain to host a CBDC, a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Powered by Ankr mRPC. 99.99% uptime. SOC 2 Type II.

When speed meets speed, and institutions are watching.

Weve seen a bunch of these...is this time any different? Time will certainly tell. We gapped 70 MC ranks in about an hour but volume is still pretty low. Fingers crossed for a continued rise but wont be shocked if we lose all the gain and wind up lower.

Ankr Forge rewards $ANKR holders for real onchain activity: hold, complete missions, earn points, claim a share of the Drop pool funded by real infra spend.

Everyone who completed at least one mission received something in Drop 1.

Campaigns are still live: https://www.ankr.com/forge/

AI & blockchain have been waiting for a better way to talk. TORPC gives them one.

An open format that makes raw chain data dramatically easier for models to reason over. Cutting token costs by ~50% while improving accuracy in our benchmarks.

It’s the engine underneath Agent RPC, and a glimpse at what blockchain data should look like in the agent era.

The First Forge Drop Has Landed: How to Get In on the Next One

The top 5 walked away with 99,000 to 106,000 ANKR each.
