Google Cloud Debuts Blockchain RPC Service to Streamline DApp Development

🚀 Stay Ahead with AltcoinDaily.co! 🌐

Google Cloud has introduced a Blockchain Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service, aimed at simplifying how crypto developers interact with blockchain data and enhancing the performance of decentralized applications (DApps). The new service, announced on September 17, initially supports the Ethereum mainnet and testnet, with plans to expand to additional blockchains over the next year.

RPC Service Details

This launch marks Google Cloud’s latest venture into the blockchain space, further building on its efforts to cater to the growing Web3 community. According to the announcement, the blockchain RPC service is fully compatible with Ethereum’s JSON-RPC standard. This ensures that developers can integrate it into Ethereum-based DApps with ease, requiring just a single line of code to get started.

To attract users, Google Cloud is offering a free tier of the service, which allows up to 100 call requests per second and one million requests per day. It also supports Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1474 (EIP-1474), a set of RPC methods designed for Ethereum nodes.

Solving a Major Problem

RPCs play a crucial role in how applications communicate over blockchain networks, as they enable programs to request services from others across different computers or networks. However, managing these requests has been a major challenge for blockchain developers. Even minor delays in processing RPCs can lead to errors in decentralized applications, which depend on real-time transactions for clearing and settling.

Google Cloud addressed the ongoing problem of RPC reliability, noting that high network activity often causes delays or failures. These issues are not isolated incidents; blockchain networks like Ethereum have faced significant RPC challenges.

In June, Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution ZKsync experienced major delays due to high traffic, further highlighting the need for robust RPC services. It also faced a breach on its official Discord server last month.

Google Cloud’s Web3 Efforts

This launch builds on Google’s ongoing efforts to engage with the blockchain ecosystem. In 2022, the tech giant formed an internal team dedicated to blockchain developers. Earlier this year, in April, Google Cloud introduced its Web3 Portal, offering tools, datasets, and tutorials for blockchain development.

However, the portal received mixed reviews, with some criticizing its user interface and the absence of support for popular blockchains like Bitcoin.
