Flare Launches Blockchain APIs on Google Cloud Marketplace!

Last Updated: December 17, 2024

• Flare has integrated its API Portal on Google Cloud Marketplace, making it the first blockchain APIs available on the platform.
• Developers utilizing Google Cloud Marketplace can access blockchain data from Flare’s nodes and Connected Chain nodes to carry out simple transactions and read the most recent state.
• The integration of blockchain APIs on Google Cloud Marketplace will reduce barriers to Web3 participation and give developers more flexibility when building cross-chain applications.

Flare Integrates Blockchain APIs on Google Cloud Marketplace

Flare, a Layer 1 blockchain that provides decentralized access to high-integrity data from other chains and the internet, has integrated its API Portal on Google Cloud Marketplace, making it one of the first blockchain APIs available on the platform. This gives developers utilizing Google Cloud Marketplace access to blockchain data from Flare’s nodes and Connected Chain nodes in order to carry out simple transactions and read the most recent state.

Benefits for Developers

The integration of these blockchain APIs into Google Cloud Marketplace reduces barriers to Web3 participation by giving developers more flexibility when building cross-chain applications. With this integration, developers don’t have to operate their own nodes for any particular chain they would like to communicate with since they now have access to APIs directly through their pre-existing Google Cloud account via the marketplace integration between Flare and the service. Furthermore, customers’ committed spending on Google Cloud may include money spent on Flare’s APIs via Google’s cloud marketplace as well.

Quotes From Executives

Josh Edwards, VP of Engineering at Flare said: “Greater availability of leading blockchain APIs on platforms such as Google Cloud Marketplace reduces the barriers to Web3 participation… As a result, developer teams have the flexibility to create applications without any infrastructure headache and allows them to focus on creating and shipping great products.” James Tromans, Head of Web3 Engineering at Google Cloud also commented: “We are excited about this partnership with Flare which is helping accelerate web 3 technology adoption”.

Supported Blockchains

Google’s cloud marketplace currently supports API for Algorand, BNB Smart Chain, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Flare Litecoin Songbird & XRP – with plans for more blockchains being added onto their API portal in future updates.

Conclusion

This significant collaboration between two major tech companies could encourage greater experimentation within web 3 technology space while leveling up users experience with easier accessiblity & scalability benefits using google cloud platform & flare’s API portal combined together!
