Flare launches Blockchain Machine Images on Google Cloud, enabling rapid, cost-effective deployment of dedicated blockchain nodes for Web3 developers.
Flare has recently unveiled its Blockchain Machine Images on Google Cloud Marketplace. This innovative tool empowers Web3 developers to deploy full blockchain nodes in just minutes and at minimal costs. With this launch, Flare aims to simplify blockchain development significantly.
Blockchain Machine Images of Flare are node-as-a-service. This feature enables businesses to instantly create and synchronize dedicated nodes quickly. It is effective and supports more than twenty top blockchain platforms, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, etc. Typically, setting up and synchronizing full blockchain nodes has been a slow and costly process that requires a team to manage. However, with the new tool, such complexities are greatly minimized.
Flare Blockchain Machine Images Slash Node Costs to $300/month
Blockchain Machine Images can help organizations save time and costs. High implementation costs and expenses incurred in managing blockchain nodes have remained a thorn in the side of many companies. Where other providers could charge as much as $2000 per month, Flare provides its dedicated nodes for about $300 monthly. This affordability helps concentrate personnel and financial resources in the company.
Additionally, blockchain development is no longer a problem for enterprises since they do not have to invest in expensive in-house infrastructure or hire numerous IT professionals familiar with the technology. This solution expands Flare’s cloud services, previously offered through an API gateway. As a result, it enables on-chain transactions and real-time data retrieval from leading blockchains.
With this new integration, developers can now access a full node as a service solution. This means they can make multiple RPC calls, control the workload, and straightforwardly do indexing. As a result, Blockchain Machine Images are essential for projects that need full access to blockchain data and for projects that need to manage their nodes.
For Flare’s Attestation Providers, this launch has special meaning within the context of the Flare ecosystem. These autonomous systems are responsible for querying and verifying information with other blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ripple. For instance, Flare’s VP of Engineering, Josh Edwards, also notes that the new service will significantly boost the effectiveness of such providers.
Looking ahead, Flare plans to expand Blockchain Machine Images to support even more top blockchain networks. This integration not only streamlines operations within the Flare ecosystem but also boosts the scalability and reliability of its offerings. The future looks promising for Flare and its users as they navigate the evolving landscape of blockchain technology.
