Google Cloud has recently launched a new Blockchain Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service aimed at supporting Web3 developers. This service simplifies blockchain development by allowing developers to interact with blockchain data without the complexities of managing node infrastructure.
According to Google Cloud, the RPC is designed to support only Ethereum mainnet and testnets at this first stage but plans to expand to additional chains in the future.
The Blockchain RPC service is made to be affordable and able to grow with demand, using Google Cloud’s technology to ensure strong and reliable performance. It follows the Ethereum JSON-RPC standard, so developers can easily add it to their apps with little effort.
The service includes a free option that supports up to 100 requests per second and 1 million requests each day, allowing developers to create real-time apps without spending money.
Google explained that RPC reliability is a big issue for Web3 developers because it affects how well their apps work and stay online. Many developers use several RPC providers to keep their apps running smoothly.
Google Cloud’s Blockchain RPC service uses its experience in managing large systems to provide a strong and reliable foundation for decentralized apps in the Web3 space.
This launch represents Google Cloud’s commitment to improving the blockchain ecosystem by providing tools that facilitate the development of decentralized applications and services.
Google has made significant strides in penetrating the Web3 space, primarily through its Google Cloud division. The company launched a Web3 startup program aimed at supporting emerging projects in building faster and more secure decentralized applications (dApps).
This initiative includes offering startups access to Google’s serverless platform, $200,000 in cloud credits, and technical support, enabling them to focus on their unique value propositions without the burdens of managing infrastructure.
In addition to the startup program, Google Cloud has introduced its Blockchain Node Engine, which allows developers to build and deploy applications on blockchain platforms like Ethereum and Solana. This service simplifies the process of managing node infrastructure, enabling developers to concentrate on application development rather than the complexities of node maintenance.
Google Cloud has also partnered with Polygon Labs to improve the development of Web3 applications on Ethereum’s Layer-2 scalability solution. This collaboration integrates Google’s services into the Polygon ecosystem, facilitating easier deployment of decentralized applications and improving transaction throughput.
