The giant Google, especially through its subsidiary Google Cloud, has been working in the crypto ecosystem for several years. in April, For example, Google Cloud has deployed a portal dedicated to Web3 developers. This allows access to both data and educational content. Now, Google’s cloud arm wants to go further with the launch of Google Blockchain RPC.
RPC: the heart of blockchains
THE RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is essential for blockchains and dApps to function properly. Actually it is a protocol that allows communication with the blockchain through nodes.
For example, when MetaMask gets your wallet balance, it calls a dedicated function from the node using the RPC protocol.
However, deploying and maintaining a node can be time-consuming for developers. This is where third-party services come into play, providing developers with turnkey RPC.
Google introduces its Blockchain RPC service
last week the cloud branch of the giant Google introduced a new service: Blockchain RPC.
“In line with its commitment to support Web3 developers, Google Cloud announces the launch of its new Blockchain RPC service. This new service provides a simplified way for developers to interact with blockchain data, providing a cost-effective, scalable and reliable solution that minimizes the complexity of managing node infrastructure. »
In practice, Google Cloud’s Blockchain RPC service aims to simplify blockchain data access and network interaction for dApp developers.
There will be a service to run it only available on Ethereum and its various testnets. However, Google plans to add more blockchains in the coming months and years.
Unfortunately, not everything is rosy with Google. Really, and An internet user is suing the company after losing $5 million in a fake app on the Google Store.
