Flare officially launched its Blockchain Machine Images on Google Cloud Marketplace, enabling rapid deployment of full nodes across over 20 networks, including Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and Avalanche ($AVAX). This development aims to streamline node setup for Web3 developers, reducing the time and costs typically associated with full-node infrastructure.
Through Google Cloud Marketplace, Flare allows developers to deploy seamlessly and in a user-friendly way, helping them bypass the need for extensive technical expertise. Flare Network shared this strategic integration with the community through its official social media platform, X.
Simple Node Deployment for Blockchain Projects
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images provides a solution for deploying blockchain nodes. Users click the deploy button in the Google Cloud Marketplace, which starts up and syncs the desired blockchain node in their environment within minutes. Users can use the latest image ID in autoscaling groups for enhanced stability, offering a flexible development setup.
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images offer financial benefits for businesses. The traditional blockchain node deployment requires extensive resources and often costs thousands monthly. However, Flare’s solution enables dedicated node deployment at around $300 per month, reducing enterprise costs and eliminating the need for maintenance setups or reliance on external providers.
Flare Network Enabling Broader Blockchain Integration
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images cater to various Web3 use cases, allowing companies to integrate blockchain data into their systems without cost. Businesses gain unrestricted RPC call capabilities and data indexing, providing developers with greater control and flexibility. This aligns with Flare’s ongoing efforts to expand cloud-based services and streamline blockchain integration within the Flare ecosystem.
This integration also supports Flare’s internal operations, particularly for its Attestation Providers, entities responsible for securely transmitting data from other blockchains. The Blockchain Machine Images simplify this process and help these providers maintain a stable data feed within the Flare network. Flare continues to enhance its blockchain infrastructure, making it easier for developers and businesses to launch projects within the ecosystem.
