Flare integrates Blockchain APIs on the Google Cloud Marketplace for developers

The API portal of Flare, a Layer 1 blockchain that enables developers to access high-quality decentralized data from multiple chains and the Internet, has been integrated into the Google Cloud Marketplace. This move introduces some of the first blockchain APIs to be offered on the platform, enabling easy blockchain transactions and current state retrieval using Flare’s nodes and Connected Chain nodes for developers using the Google Cloud Marketplace.

This significant integration means that Google Cloud’s native Cloud Marketplace now offers support for blockchain APIs belonging to Algorand, BNB Smart Chain, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Flare, Litecoin, Songbird and XRP. Additionally, any future blockchain APIs integrated into Flare’s API portal will also be available to developers using Google Cloud.

Reduce the barriers to Web3 participation

Developers can use blockchain APIs to design applications that perform transactions and retrieve information on-chain about the current state of the chain. Having access to these APIs frees developers from having to operate their own nodes for each blockchain they need to engage with. This feature is particularly beneficial when constructing cross-chain applications that require access to multiple data sources.

The API portal is also used by major exchanges and wallets as a hedge against their own infrastructure. Flare’s integration with Marketplace means any Google Cloud user can seamlessly access all of Flare’s existing APIs using their current Google Cloud account. Purchases of Flare APIs via the Google Cloud Marketplace may also contribute to a customer’s dedicated spending on Google Cloud.

Josh Edwards, Flare’s VP of Engineering, said: “Greater availability of leading blockchain APIs on platforms like Google Cloud Marketplace lowers the barriers to Web3 participation. It makes it easier for developers to experiment with blockchain technology and its many uses without being burdened by heavy hardware costs and ongoing maintenance.”

Edwards went on to say, “It also opens up the opportunity for larger organizations and partners to experiment with a safe, secure and trusted set of Web3 APIs. As a result, development teams have the flexibility to create applications without the infrastructure headaches that allow them to focus on creating and send great products.”

Expanding the utility of blockchain technology

The Layer 1 infrastructure of Flare, which is based on EVM, is designed to enhance the utility of blockchain technology by providing decentralized access to trusted data originating from other chains and Web2 sources. As each blockchain connected through Flare’s interoperability and data infrastructure will eventually be integrated into Google Cloud, developers will have access to the top 100 chains.

James Tromans, Head of Web3 Engineering at Google Cloud, commented on this significant development: “We are excited to support and advance the ambitions of our Web3 partners in our ecosystem with the integration of Flare’s high-performance APIs into our marketplace. .”

As a leading EVM-based Layer 1 blockchain, Flare provides developers with decentralized access to trusted data originating from other chains and the Internet. This feature facilitates the emergence of innovative use cases and monetization strategies while allowing applications to serve multiple chains with just one deployment.

Flare’s State Connector protocols enable secure, scalable and trustless use of information originating from other blockchains and the Internet with smart contracts on Flare. Flare Time Series Oracle provides dApps on Flare with decentralized price and data streams, without depending on centralized providers, ensuring high decentralization.

The Flare API Portal serves as a pathway to Flare’s chains and all the chains connected through Flare’s data collection protocols. It simplifies the process of accessing the nodes of the most prominent blockchains for developers. With the ability to build on top of Flare using more data than ever before, or engineer solutions with Flare to serve multiple ecosystems, developers can take advantage of this feature to design sophisticated applications.
