It is used for paying for services such as node deployment and API access, staking to support node providers and earn rewards, and voting on governance proposals to influence changes to the Ankr Staking system. Unlike traditional staking that delegates to validator nodes, ANKR token staking introduces the ability to stake to full nodes, allowing token holders to signal support for individual node providers operating the distributed RPC network.
