The press release stated that the goal of the collaboration is to test how these institutions can use Swift’s infrastructure to manage the transfer of tokenized assets between their blockchains.
Chainlink will provide connectivity on both public and private Blockchains for these experiments. The Swift and Chainlink partnership first appeared at Chainlinks’ annual SmartCon conference last year.
Horizen chose this altcoin network to power the EON smart contract platform
Horizen, the leading public blockchain, has announced its strategic partnership with Web3 infrastructure provider Ankr. As a result of this partnership, Ankr will become one of the first Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers for Horizen’s newly developed Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) compatible smart contract platform, EON.
The collaboration will enable a wide variety of use cases such as DeFi, gaming and NFTs, which will bring greater accessibility, scalability and reliability to the expanding EON ecosystem.

As part of the partnership, Ankr will simplify the process of building and deploying smart contract applications on EON. Web3 platform will offer series developer tool for these. Among them;
- Liquid Staking Software Development Kit (SDK)
- Web3 Gaming SDK
- and it gets AppChains as a Service.
What’s next for altcoin projects?
As a result, with the partnership, the EON ecosystem will soon be able to host a large number of decentralized applications. Ankr’s Web3 infrastructure, EON’s EVM compatibility and Horizen’s zero-knowledge side-chain protocol will combine to create a permissionless and private Blockchain environment especially for Blockchain developers and new users.
