What’s new? Google Cloud, Google Corporation’s cloud platform, has launched a blockchain-enabled remote procedure call (RPC) service. According to a press release, it offers a cost-effective, scalable, and reliable solution that makes it easy for developers to interact with blockchain data and manage node infrastructure.
What else is known? Blockchain RPC is available on a Free Tier subscription, where no usage fees are charged if a specified limit is met. In this case, the free product supports up to 100 requests per second and 1 million requests per day, which will allow developers to create decentralized applications (DApps) that require real-time processing of large amounts of data.
At launch, Blockchain RPC supports the Ethereum core network and its testnet, with support for more blockchains to be added next year. In addition, the service is fully compatible with the Ethereum-standard JSON-RPC, allowing developers to integrate it into their applications with a single line of code.
The creators also noted that the service scales to handle growing volumes of requests, eliminating the need for manual scaling.
“RPC reliability is a significant challenge for Web3 developers, as it can impact the performance and availability of their applications. Many developers currently rely on multiple RPC providers to ensure their applications stay up and running. With Google Cloud’s Blockchain RPC service, we’re bringing our expertise in operating large-scale infrastructure to the Web3 ecosystem, offering a robust backbone for decentralized applications,” Google Cloud concluded.
In April, Google Cloud became one of the operators of the leading EigenLayer restaking protocol on the Ethereum network. In May, Google Cloud integrated the GameShift platform for creating games based on the Solana blockchain.
