Google, in collaboration with Google Cloud, today launched a service called Blockchain RPC (Remote Procedure Call or Remote Procedure Call). This tool aims to allow users to web3 developers interact with data on-chainspecifically with the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, without having to manage your own node infrastructure.
The RPC protocol is a technology that grants developers access to the data and functionality of a blockchain through calls API (Application Programming Interface (Application Programming Interface).
This means that developers can send commands to a node on a network to obtain information (such as an account balance) or perform actions (send a transaction) without having to directly interact with the underlying code of that network.
While this RPC protocol already exists in the infrastructure of wallets and decentralized applications (dApps) on Ethereum, Google Cloud aims for its RPC product to improve the scalability and compatibility of this protocol.
To achieve this, The free version of this product will allow up to 100 requests per second and 1 million per day, which is enough to create applications that require real-time processing and handle large volumes of data, according to the company.
Another of the most outstanding features of the Google Cloud product is the Support for Ethereum’s JSON-RPC standardThis standard is a protocol that allows dApps communicate with Ethereum nodes efficiently. In other words, JSON-RPC defines as a dApp can send and receive data between a client and an Ethereum node.
In this way, the use of this technology allows Blockchain RPC to be integrated by developers into their applications with just one line of code. Thus, Google Cloud will try to facilitate the process of creating applications in the Web3 ecosystem.
Some features of the free version of Blockchain RPC, from Google Cloud
Blockchain RPC launches with a free tier that allows up to 100 requests per second, 1 million requests per day and supported by technology EIP-1474which ensures that the Google Cloud product is compatible with the dApps to be integrated into Ethereum.
This Google Cloud service will be useful for developers who need high processing capacity for their decentralized applications and other real-time Web3 solutions, without having to rely on their own expensive infrastructure.
The service currently supports both the Ethereum mainnet and testnets. The product is aimed at developers, from small to large. startups even large companies.
Google Cloud announced that the service is now available in a preview version and invited interested developers to explore the product through its Web Portal3.
