- On September 17, Google Cloud unveiled its new blockchain remote procedure call service.
- This blockchain RPC service is designed to be compatible with Ethereum and supports up to 100 requests per second.
- Intended for web3 developers, Google Cloud aims to facilitate the scaling of decentralized applications’ development and deployment.
The cloud service platform from Google has rolled out a new Remote Procedure Call service specifically designed to assist developers engaged in the web3 space.
As per an official announcement, the blockchain RPC service from Google Cloud is fully compatible with Ethereum. Developers can utilize this service for efficient, scalable, and dependable access to blockchain data.
This RPC service is aimed at developers who are creating decentralized applications within the Web3 ecosystem, catering to everyone from emerging startups to major corporations. All can take advantage of the reliability and performance delivered by Google Cloud, according to the company.
“Google Cloud’s Blockchain RPC services provide fast response times – precisely what one would expect,” stated Kyle Quintal, head of engineering at 0xArc.
“The adherence to EIP1474 standards and the availability of a free tier led us to immediately integrate their service into our system without hesitation,” Quintal further noted.
Ethereum Support at Launch
In addition to offering a free tier, the Blockchain RPC service allows for up to 100 requests per second. Initially, it will support the Ethereum mainnet and its testnets, but Google Cloud has plans to broaden the service to more blockchain networks within the forthcoming year.
On October 10, 2024, Google Cloud will host a webinar to discuss this new RPC product.
This initiative represents Google Cloud’s ongoing commitment to the web3 ecosystem, with recent expansions including the integration of 11 blockchain networks into its public datasets program, ‘BigQuery.’
The platform has also established partnerships with various blockchain platforms such as Polygon, Sui, and Fantom.
