Google Cloud Launches Ethereum-Compatible Blockchain RPC Service
Google Cloud has introduced a Blockchain Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service compatible with Ethereum, improving blockchain data interaction for developers.
Key points:
- Ethereum support: Currently only compatible with Ethereum mainnet and testnet.
- Future plans: Google Cloud aims to support more blockchains in the next year.
- Free tier: Developers get up to 100 requests per second and 1 million requests per day.
- EIP-1474 support: The service follows Ethereum’s JSON-RPC standard.
- Reliability: It aims to enhance the performance of decentralized applications (DApps).
Google Cloud’s New Blockchain RPC Service Promises Improved Reliability for Developers:
Google Cloud has launched a new Blockchain Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service compatible with Ethereum. This move will help developers interact more easily with blockchain data and boost the stability of decentralized applications (DApps).
At present, the service works with Ethereum’s mainnet and testnet. However, Google Cloud plans to extend support to other blockchain networks within the next year.
