Google is launching a blockchain service.

Google's cloud division has launched a new remote procedure call (RPC) service to support web3 development. Initially, the service supports the Ethereum mainnet and its testnets. Google Cloud aims to compete with players like Infura and Alchemy by offering developers blockchain interaction without the need to run full nodes.

The RPC service will allow access to blockchain data through API calls and is compatible with the Ethereum JSON-RPC standard, making integration into existing applications easier. Google is targeting a wide range of users, from startups to large enterprises, providing free access with a limit of up to 100 requests per second.

This solution will ensure high performance and reliability, which is especially important for real-time applications.

With the launch of this service, Google strengthens its position in the blockchain space.
