Crypto infrastructure provider Ankr announced that it is completely discontinuing hosted ETH2 node providers. Ankr began gradually discontinuing the ETH2 node provider service users can run in Ankr Hosting on September 1. This will give users time to stop the nodes they are currently running or connect to another validation network. Starting September 6th, all keys will be revoked.
It is reported that users running ETH2 nodes will be able to claim their staked and rewarded funds through both automatic and manual, depending on whether the assets deposited are $ANKR or $ETH. Those who deposited $ETH will be able to withdraw their deposit in liquid staking tokens (aETHb or aETHc) after September 6th. Those who used $ANKR as their insurance deposit for an ETH2 provider node, that same amount of $ANKR will be sent back to their wallet automatically after September 6th.
