- The blockchain RPC service is compatible with Ethereum and provides up to 100 requests per second.
- Google Cloud targets developers in the Web3 space with the goal of scaling the development and deployment of decentralized applications.
Google’s cloud computing platform announced the launch of a new remote procedure call (RPC) service to support developers in the Web3 space.
According to details in the announcement, Google Cloud’s blockchain RPC service is fully compatible with Ethereum. Developers will leverage the new service for cost-effective, scalable, and reliable access to blockchain data.
RPC services are aimed at developers building decentralized applications across the Web3 ecosystem, from startups to large enterprises. All of this will have the opportunity to leverage the reliability and performance of Google Cloud, the company said.
“Google Cloud’s blockchain RPC product delivers exactly the fast response times you expect,” Kyle Quintal, director of engineering at 0xArc, said in a statement. “Coupled with the fact that Google Cloud follows the EIP1474 standard and offers a free tier option, we immediately integrated that service into our systems and haven’t looked back,” Quintal added.
Initial support for Ethereum
In addition to offering a free tier, Blockchain RPC allows up to 100 requests per second. Although it will initially support the Ethereum mainnet and testnet, Google Cloud plans to expand its services to more blockchain networks over the next year.
Google Cloud will host a webinar to discuss new RPC products on October 10, 2024.
This is Google Cloud’s latest Web3 push, with its recent forays including adding 11 blockchain networks to its open dataset program ‘BigQuery’.
The platform has also signed partnerships with several blockchain platforms, including Polygon, Sui, and Fantom.
